Default Re: CCs that taste like NCs

Try some custom rolled CC's, they can be very flavorful and strong, fresh Taboadas come to mind. I will be handing a few to the person quoted below next time I see him to show him a side of CC's he may not have experienced.

As a predominantly NC smoker, I do not see the connection between NCs and either of these smokes. Both are great Cuban cigars and do not have the flavor profile of NC sticks IMHO. I'm not experienced enough with CCs to give you a response to your question, Mark, but I don't beleive that either of these sticks have an NC profile.

Well it's my opinion, so that and $2 will get you a cup of coffee. And I haven't smoked a ton of them, but the few RS 11s that I've smoked tasted like countless other non-cuban cigars I have smoked. Great cuban cigar or not. YMMV.

Peace.

I like your opinion, especially in a thread that asks for it.

I don't agree with it, but I like that you're given it...

Some will be set aside for you in July. (or August if you don't make it down FL, we could be seeing a lot of each other this summer).
