Robert,

I see you have gotten lots of opinions. Let me add another, it is a real simple dictum - you must smoke what you like and enjoy it.

Now, to do this, you need to try different cigars to find out what you like. That's where the slope gets slippery.

Personally, I have enjoyed a good many CCs. I have also enjoyed a good many NCs.

I must say that in my personal taste preference profile, there is room for both. Although, I must say that NCs by far outnumber my CCs.

thanks for all you guys help on this it is really good to see how all you guys help us newbie out

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

It ends once you smoke a Cuban :ss

But that's the trap, because it just starts another slope :D

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

CC's are a slope I am trying to avoid for now. I hear they are a fuller bodied and stronger (more nicotine) cigar than NC's, but I am sure that depends on the NC also. For now I'll stick to one slope.

Mike :ss

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

That's subjective, too. On the whole, I haven't found a single Cuban cigar with nearly the nicotine punch of a stronger non-Cuban. They do make mild Cubans, you know *wink wink* :D

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

yeah im still getting the feel for NC but i feel my self getting pulled over to the dark side :ss

It all comes down to tasticity. It is that simple.



What is "tasticity"? It is a word I just made up.

nice Tom, nice... :tu

email to Websters is on the way, you get all the credit of course!

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

From a collecting standpoint CC's are it. The marcas have largely remained the same and they are dated unlike most NC's. NC's it seems that every few weeks a new and exciting brand comes out... only to fade away. It also seems that if a good stick does come out the hype is so huge that the price skyrockets and the quality plummets.

CC's aren't fancy for the most part. You get a very nice stick for 3-4 dollars. Many of the 3 dollars CC's are better than a 10 dollar NC. But the 10 dollar NC is still very nice.

That is very flandiferous of you, Moe!!! :D

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

i thought CC cost alot more than NC

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

common misconception

i should add... some do cost more, some cost a LOT more... but most are comprable to NC pricing

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

ok thanks MD i have seen some crazy prices on CC and NC

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

Since CC's are not legal here in the states all these comments from US members are only opinions based no no actual fact. :tu

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

I think part of the CC thing is the "FORBIDDEN FRUIT" aspect too. THEY say I cant have it so I want it more.

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

I, of course, am referring the sticks I buy (and smoke) while in Canada. And Europe. and the carribean

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

Never a doubt Moe, never a doubt!

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

Of course, Moe. We never doubted your respect for the law. As for me, I don't actually *buy* them. That's technically illegal, even overseas, so I'm lucky to have many friends in foreign places who offer me cigars that I couldn't legally buy.

Re: ok here is a dumb newbie ?
 

Exactly Eddie. :r
