I'll second the Tatuaje vote or Illusione Epernay. The one that tastes the closest to a Cuban for me was the Cojonu 09. It's much smoother than any other Tat I've ever had. Most DPGs have a good complex flavor but I find them much too harsh. The Cabaiguan I smoked was smooth but lacked flavor.

Nothing is going to taste exactly the same as a Cuban, but I've picked the Cojonu over a Partagas the last two weekends in a row. If they were cheaper, I would buy them by the box.
