Since the '60's, the NC industry has made no small business of convincing us all that (some of) their product is just like CC product in every way we can imagine.
Hey- check out this one! It tastes like CC!
Hey- check out this one! It looks like CC!
Hey- check out this one! It has the same name as CC!
Hey- check out this one! It's packaged like CC!
So... this considerable effort not having gone unnoticed by me, down the years, I've spent many of them wondering:
1. Why did it take 'til the 21st century before we saw NCs with Corojo wrappers?
and
2. Why did it take 'til the 21st century before we saw (any significant number of) NCs with triple-caps?
I mean... DUH! Right?
Can anyone shed any light?  |
I think it has alot to do with the fact that there is such a demand for CC's in the states. As we all know, CC's are our fordidden fruit. If the Non-CC brands can make a cigar appeal to those wanting a CC, it becomes more appealing. I would imagine they also want to honor the tradition and culture of the CC.
