I've been noticing this for a while in other places of cigar discussion such as Youtube or other forums.
"Cubans are overpriced and they all taste primarily of grass and hay"
Now... I can understand why people would think Cubans are expensive because they're probably seeing prices of more expensive side of the spectrum(Cohiba, Trinidad, LE stuff) and ignoring everything else. But the claim people make that Cuban cigars taste of grass and hay makes me scratch my head a bit. Someone must have started this claim somewhere, and people are parroting it at every opportunity they have, acting like they've actually smoked a Cuban cigar before. Not saying Cubans are the BEST, as there are NCs I quite enjoy.
Have I just not smoked a Cuban marca that has grass and hay characteristics? I've tasted hints of tea, but never grass and hay. I'm not a farm animal. Maybe that's the problem.
