Honduran Tobacco
 

I just can't smoke the stuff, tastes like dirt and what I presume sweaty feet taste like, anyone else feel the same way?

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

The only cigar that I have had that has any honduran filler is the CAO MX2 and it is one of my favorite smokes, but the filler was only partly honduran. I have had some with binders from honduras and that hasn't been a problem either. I have never a straight honduran filler. maybe it only works well with others!

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

One word, CAMACHO. All Honduran puro's, all delicious!:dr

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

:tpd::tpd::tpd::tpd:
I like most Camacho's, especially the Corojo (the brown label Davidoff)

:-)

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Nope, I like me some Honduran leaf:
Camacho
Punch Gran Puro
El Rey del Mundo
Don Tomas
Maria Mancini
5 Vegas Gold
Nestor Reserve Connecticut

Granted, it's also the domain of Rolando Reyes :td, but there's tasty sticks coming out of the country, don't kid yourself.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

amen.

:D

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Taboo's are Honduran too if I am not mistaken.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

HSG - Honduran Sun Grown. Great smokes.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Honduran is my least favorite tobacco as well.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Mexican and Brazilian are worse

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

I've never had Mexican, and the only Brazilian I;ve had have been Brazilian Maduro wrappers. Those weren't bad.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

maybe I should have been more subtle, I think Brazilian tobacco sucks. I know a lot of people love it, I don't.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

I bought a box of ERdM Tinos from JR's a while back that was fantastic. They also had an '02 box code when I got them so the 5+ years of rest may have had something to do with it.

Does that mean I'm going to be buying any Honduran smokes in the near future?

...not likely :p

(unless I can find another box of those '02s)

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Punch Gran Puros are fantastic. I also quite like HdM Excallibur maduros, which are at least partly honduran.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

As far as NCs, would rather have Nicaraguan, with Dominican and Honduran next.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!!!

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Torano
Don Lino
RP
Sancho Panza
Zino

...just to name a few others. No, I don't think all Honduran tobacco tastes like dirt. Honduran tobacco has a secure place in my humidor.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

It depends on who blends it and how it is fermented/cured. The Eiroa boys (Camacho) can blend Honduran tobacco very well, so can Nestor Plasencia IMO. Honduran tobacco does have a very earthy flavor, and if it's lousy tobacco that flavor can easily go from "earthy" to "sour dirt".

Honestly, Dominican tobacco is my least favorite. Smoked a Columbian puro recently and it had potential but was way too mild.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Camacho - limited experience, but the ones I've had were good
Punch - any of their blends, good cigar at a good price point.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Ooh... Intriguing!



As for Honduran leaf, I'm in the baby/bathwater crowd. Way too broad a statement for my taste. Sure, I'm probably wedded to it the least of the major producing countries, but saying it sucks, to my ears, is like saying that historical novels suck. Sure, many of 'em probably do...

Besides, sometimes I'm right in the mood for a mouthful of dirt. :r

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

As I have stated, I am a Villazon whore. ERdM, Hoyo, Punch, JR Ultimate - these are 99% of my daily intake. If Honduran tobacco tastes like dirt, then call me Mudboy, and happily so.

:ss

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

I would also list these as excellent choices of quality, great tasting smokes.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

I like Honduran Tobacco just fine, assuming that it's properly cured, blended, rolled, etc.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

I do enjoy a Zino Platnium from time to time....

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

You need to herf more.:D Never had a Camacho I didn't like.:banger

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Hallelujah! :tu. The triple maduro and the Liberty are great. I'm not sure I buy the "pre-embargo" Cuban tobacco claims for the Liberty, but that would not be a selling point for me regardless. if I want a cc, I'll smoke a cc.

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

Following Darrell's sage advise, I just ordered another 100 Honduran cigars. :r

Thank you for the head's up, brother. Mmmmmm, dirty sweaty feet. :ss

Re: Honduran Tobacco
 

I prefer Nicaraguan and Dominican to Honduran. :)
