cigarbreak Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Joya de Nicaragua Antano Gran Consul - Had this last night and surprised the heck out of me. Loved every bit of it except the first few cm's which was strong and harsh. Once it settled down wow...never had an NC give me that satisfaction the way a CC does. It was balanced yet full bodied and strong, and medium full on the retrohale. Went fantastic with a rum from the DR. I look forward to buying a few singles again. Best NC I've had yet with complexity to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daeji5 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Arturo fuente maduro short story and maduro work of art. Much more balanced than the natural blend. Just my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 *Hey, I ordered a tin of those Winston Churchill Lancasters. And you're right - they ARE very Cubanesque in flavor, aroma and structure. Thank you guys for that prior info! That's awesome glad you enjoyed them, I preach about them every time this discussion comes up. The little 4 pack tins are great to sample them with too!

aushy Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks for all the recommendations. I now have lots to try! I will let you know what I think of them when I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superconductor71 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Fuente Anejo. Once a year release, grab them if you can. Well worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OchoZacho Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 This is tough as NCs have been KILLING my palette lately. Most have recommended good stuff already. Any Fuente Anejo or Opus should treat you right. I also like the Padron anniversary series stuff as well as some Tat black and brown labels.

fokker4me Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 A Fuente Rosado Sun Grown, Tatajue brown Label, LaRoma de Cuba EE is a really good go to as well as the Ashton Heritage and ESG. I also love Davidoff Puro d' Pro sublimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M777 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I mostly only buy the following nc's nowadays for aging since they are the only one I enjoy. AF anejos, hemingways, and opus x Tatuaje brown labels Padron x000 maduro Don lino Africa (not even sure if they still make these but have quite a few sleeping now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino81 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I really like the La aroma de Cuba "mi amor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb20four Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I tried the Herrera Esteli lonsdale yesterday and I really liked it. It's 6" by 44 RG which is a pretty good size for me. It tasted very similar to a box of Trini Fundadores I have. It's all honey and hay. I think I read somewhere in an article they were trying to make a cuban style cigar and they actually did a pretty good job IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjaq Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 If you can get your hands on the Tatuaje TAA 2014, that would be worth your time. Might be hard to come by a single, though. Another one I haven't seen mentioned, but would seem to be well-suited to a CC palate, is the La Palina Goldie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcox Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I would suggest Padron 1926 40th anniversary maduro, Guerrilla Warfare is a tasty cheap smoke, any of the Opus x, like Erjaq said the Tat TAA 14 or the Tat Black CG. All are Great smokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavLew79 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 For me: Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Robustos Opus X if you want to splash a bit. Alec Bradley prensado Robustos or churchills. Oliva Serie O Robusto for a cheap, sweet, decent everyday smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacosowner Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Herrera Esteli, AF Anejo, Padron 26 or 64 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftimatic Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Picked up a couple Nat Sherman timeless Dominican Divinos just for shites and giggles. Not a bad cigar, thinking about grabbing a box. Will change vitola though. Last third got a bit hot on the fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The only NC's I still stock are these three when I find a deal. Much higher price point and you could just as well buy some more Cubans. I'll grab a Java Mint Corona or ACID Kuba Kuba if I feel in the mood for something sweet but usually keep a couple for new comers. I also got a steal on a decent box of Punch Bareknuckle for $30 friends that said they have tried them before swore they were dog rockets but for whatever reason I lucked out with a decent box. Typically I keep these on hand as they are decent for the price or leftover from when I could only get NC's Foundry Robusto Man O War double corona Brickhouse Mighty Mighty I also still have a couple boxes of these left. Macanudo 1997 Limited Perfecto's. Chocolaty, oily and rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallman Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Rocky Patel cigars may be sneered at but I really have been pleasantly surprised by the Ocean Club torpedo. I also really enjoy the Ashton Heritage Puro Sol---belicoso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
