Funny you should say that, because I do have one orange flavored apple in my humi. Or, a box and a half of them anyway.

Partagas Cifuentes Seasonal Blends Junio, I believe.
Last time I had one (almost a year ago) it tasted spot on like a party corona.
So I had another.... it did too... and another.... same result.
So, I bought another box.
Haven't had one since. Who knows, they may taste like rabbit ass now, but they were good.

As most have mentioned, there is little to no comparison.


The vast majority of my consumption is in cuban cigars, however I don't mind mixing in a Nic Puro from time to time for a different taste. I don't have much of a taste for Honduran/Dominican anymore.


I'd be much more successful in giving a list of cubans that have very strong non-cuban profiles (Los Statos, Cohiba Maduro, RyJ Cazadores).


At the end of the day, I think you should consider 3 key points.

1. Cuban cigars may not be legal in your country.

2. Cuban cigars are almost ALWAYS cheaper than non-cuban cigars at the same 'quality level'

3. Smoke what you like.
