Looking for something similar to a Cuban

The word "Cuban" never once crossed my mind when I blind-test smoked that unbanded Cabiguan from the pass basket at the last Barn herf.

Bland, boring and grassy did though.

Eperney by Illusione

Try the Tatuaje RJ21 Reserva

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.

Go with the J21 best non Habano out there. Also try the Taboo Havana LR reminds me of a Bolivar Royal COrona

Too funny... I was just thinking today I as was out working that I hadn't seen a thread like this for a while.

While it is not PSD4 like... the Tat Noella really reminds me of a Monte 4. For me it is the closest CC/NC comparison.

Most Cubans are cheaper than Tats.
