I would guess that to someone over there, they taste similar. I don't think they do, but I don't have a warehouse with 100,000 Nica Libres in it that I need to sell yesterday.

I need to stop reading cigar catalogs while in the bathroom. I will now go back to CCs and leave the NC world alone.

NC cigar catalogs can be a ton of fun to read, especially when they start laying it on thick.

How many of you read cigar catalogs in the bathroom? And, which vendors are better? Find any use for a Thompson's?

Wait. That's probably another thread...
