They share names, but that is all. Don't put them on the same playing field as they come from different growing regions and the climate, soil, etc.. all have an effect on their composition.
However, that being said, the NCs are definitely worth trying. They are worth trying, just because they are good cigars - not because they "compare" to the CCs whose name they share.
Personally, some of them I like, some I love, some I seriously stay away from. To find out what you like, you should try them.
Find a review site and discover what other have said. But be warned, don't judge them by comments such as, "I liked it," "I didn't like it." Find descriptions of the flavors, and those that sound like things YOU'D like, try them.
Hope that helps.
