Default Nicaragua Vs. Dominican...

As I continue smoking, I find that my taste preferences have been moving away from Dominicans and towards Nicaraguan cigars. It's probably a personal preference thing, but I'm curious as to which way you guys lean.

I'm split evenly between Nic and Hondurans. I'm one of the few Camacho lovers out there.

There are examples of both that I enjoy very much.

Nic - Padrons, Avalon Red Label Jukes, Pepins
Dom - LFDs, Kelner blends.

You need to come hang out with the BABOTL's, you'll feel right at home. A couple of us are Camacho whores.

I still enjoy a fine Dominican though.

I might get burned for this, but even if I had to choose between Nicaraguan cigars and Cubans, I would go for the Nicaraguans. Don't get me wrong, I still smoke (and enjoy) Cubans, Dominicans, Costa Ricans and Honduran cigars too but Nicaragua is my favorite cigar country.

I have a few favorites from the Dominican (Partagas, La Aurora, La Flor, Fuente) but it's definitely a landslide victory for Nicaragua without a doubt.

I'd say probably about 95% of the NCs I smoke are Nicaraguan. I actually had a Dominican yesterday(LGC Reserve Fig) and enjoyed it quite a bit, just not as much as I enjoy a good Nicaraguan.

I am probably 90% Nicaraguan lately, with the other 10% being Fuentes. Preferring the stronger, spicier stuff I guess.

I wasn't exactly sure, so I decided to do a check. Went to CI and looked over my favorites. Apparently, I'm a Nic guy.

I prefer Honduran and Nicaraguan cigars. Many dominicans seem to have a bitter finish, especially if you try to nub them, and I've never been fond of that.

Wink Re: Nicaragua Vs. Dominican...

I prefer a Nicaraguan smoke over a Dominican, however, ever so often I look for a old favorite, but less frequent in recent times.
