Hello everybody!
This morning I went to a big tobacco shop in my town to buy some Toscanos (italian cigars), but while I was waiting for my turn, a ray of light hit my mind and I yelled into my thoughts "I want HABANOOOOS!!!" ![]() Then I asked the shop assistant if they had Cuban Cigars in store and... in half a minute I bought a three-cigars pack of Cohiba Siglo II. ![]() Oh boys, what a cigar, what a taste! I finally tasted some serious aroma evolution, every third of it tasted differently and at the end, a marvellous taste of tobacco remained in my mouth. And when it was done, I just wanted to have another. But obviously I didn't. ![]() Well I have to say that I love Toscanos and they are extremely good (for me at least), but Habanos are extremely good in the same way, and I just don't want to compare them for wich is better, simply because they are two different worlds, it would be like comparing classical music to progressive hard rock: you just can't. I took my decision! For the everyday smokes I'll buy Toscanos, also because they cost much less, and I will keep Habanos for special moments. I couldn't ever imagine that a cigar could make me so happy ![]() Happy smokes! |

I would have to say my first experience with a CC went very similar to yours....

Not very often I hear about somebody's first experience being so wonderful.
Most people say "I don't get it", and I think Mmmm more for me. It took me several attempts before I fell in love, it was a RASCC that turned me. Enjoy the dark slope! I have heard a lot of people from outside the US like those Toscanos. No idea what they are, they sound coffee infused? Fire wall has me blocked from informative websites. I think "I want HABANOOOOS!!!" about 23.5 hours a day, I think Leo planted the idea deep in my subconsious.

Sig II's are my favorite, too! No wonder you love them.

Just remember, just because they're 'Cuban' doesn't mean they're good. I had a dog rocket last night. But, most I've had have been great. I stay away from Cohibas because of the price. I can get nearly 2 Montecristo #2's for the price of one Cohiba.

All of the CC's I have smoked have been awesome, mind you that I have not smoked many and all have been gifts so I figure they all were top of the line and had some age but they are great!!

I'm the same way, smoking my first CC was a "wow" moment all in itself, since I'm a cigar noob probably more so for me because it was a mild / medium partagas short and I actually got all of the different flavors on my palette and that was a first. Now I'm totally hooked.
I think it was icehog3 that said he has only smoked like 4 NCs in a year, now I understand why! Hi my name is Adam and I'm hooked on the CCs ... |

On a side note, you've got me wondering what an Italian cigar tastes like. Hmmm...

Since @Blak Smyth and @jjirons69 are wondering how a Toscano is made and how it tastes, I'll give you some info.
Toscanos are made with fire-cured Italian and North-American Kentucky tobacco, they are short-filler made and have a strange shape, I would describe it as a double truncated cone. ![]() Yep it's not good-looking ![]() ![]() Its taste is strong and not so refined, with strong aroma of wood and earth. The cigar produces a very strong smell! I don't know how to describe better, I'm still a newbie ![]() Thanks for asking about Toscanos, it's a honour for me to illustrate this made-in-italy product to my overseas brothers ![]() |

While I was in the Bahamas last fall I watched a guy roll some cigars that he said were made from 100% cuban leaf. There was no filler, just some dark and yummy leaves that he expertly rolled. I bought one and smoked it on the porch next to him. It was by far the best cigar I have ever had. Other than that, I have never had the pleasure of smoking a CC.

Maybe you are talking about a higher value Cohibas? Sig2s should be in line the Monte2s. Would I rather have a Monte2 than a Sig2? Sometimes, but I like both and I like variety.
