Re: NC with Boli PC profile?
Try an Illusione 888. While different, it did have some similarities with nice nutmeg and cocoa overtones on a rich earthy core that turned into black licorice. I had one from 2008 last night and enjoyed it very much. Except for the size, it did remind me of a 2007 Boli corona jr. I had last year.

I let the paranoia go, and haven't looked back. Hope this helps, but at least one person understands you. Finally, I echo everyone else's sentiment... you will not find a fast food hamburger with Kobe beef profile, vintage wine notes under a screw top, or Cuban taste in a non-Cuban cigar.

Re: NC with Boli PC profile?
You know, I take that back, there was another cigar that had a cuban profile, the WCD 120...If you put that in a blind review, I bet 9 out of 10 people would say it was Cuban...

I do NOT think Cabaiguans taste like Bolivars. Not even close. But, as I am sure you are well aware, there is a lot that goes into individual taste profiles. There is a Kobe beef hamburger that is served in NYC. I don't drink, so I can't comment on a screw top wine bottle. I am not interested in engaging in a Moki/Fredster challenge. Also, I am sure you could dig up a post on puff.com where I thought a RyJ Casadores was NC... based on the overwhelming power, I still don't like them. At any rate, you just unlocked the search badge on CA FourSquare. Sleep well tonight, my friend.

But in all seriousness, taste is subjective. That's why I asked what profile the OP was shooting for. It makes the searching a bit more refined. Keep in mind though, one person could taste cinnamon where another persons mental link puts that as a earthy or sweet taste. IMO (bolded for clarity) I would say the distinction between Cuban and NC has been getting less and less.

Re: NC with Boli PC profile?
I am completely comfortable hugging it out with Wayne (and Tim, for that matter).
Matter o' fact, I can't wait to hug it out at Shack, Tim... Shortbus, I don't know you well, but will also hug it out should you feel the desire. And, yeah, that is clearly a nudge you felt. I am very close to an educator who HYPOTHETICALLY has seen a few confiscation letters, and his job is safe! I can't remember his name at the moment, but we're really close.

Seriously, a thread about findings a $8-12 cigar that might come close to tasting as good as a $5 Cuban seems a little silly. Personally, I have not found a NC that could fit the flavor profile. |
