El Presidente Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 To me the last three paragraphs of this article are most interesting. There are days when I read such things that I wonder if I live in a vacuum. https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/tourists-boon-cuban-cigar-makers-210102543.html
Fuzz Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 "... a softer, more discreet tobacco." NCs, softer and discreet do not belong in the same sentence. 4
TheLiquidGator Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Less overpowering? The NC pepper bombs are the overpowering ones. I hope they never sell Cuban cigars in the states. But, am greedy.
Yagermeister Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Lol. NCs are softer, more discreet, and CCs are "overpowering". Where did this perception come from?
CigarEnthusiast Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Lol. NCs are softer, more discreet, and CCs are "overpowering". Where did this perception come from? There is a lot of misinformation at B&Ms. Rumors/misinformation spreads faster than wildfire.
Fuzz Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Some journo must have been given a fresh PLPC and was told, "It's one of the milder CCs...."
DoubleDD Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Some NCs make my tongue sting like it's been beat with a tack strip. Maybe a Macanudo is softer.
garbandz Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 "Salas and other experts said milder Cuban brands such as Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta would likely do better in the US than the stronger Partagas and Cohiba varieties" Here they go,quoting "EXPERTS" again........... "After more than five decades of separation, "the average American doesn't know the Cuban product," said Salas. "They have as a comparison Central American or Dominican tobacco - they've become used to that kind of flavour of a softer, more discreet tobacco" Someone slap this guy...... 1
Colt45 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 The average American. The average Australian. The average Cuban..... When I read this, I know I can immediately dismiss it.
wabashcr Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Those quotes are from Ricardo Salas, who, according to the article, distributes Cuban cigars in Cyprus. Sounds like he has his thumb right on the pulse of the US cigar market. 1
cigcars Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 "Montecristo" - "Romeo y Julieta"... milder cigars??????? WHAT'S he been smokin'??? 1
PuroDan Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Lol. This article just makes me sick. This so called Cuban is probably some NC rep in disguise. 1
riazp Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Am i the only one hoping whoever wrote this article is right and the causal american cigar smoker will leave cubans alone and stick with their NC's? for me that would be great. 2
polarbear Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 "This article brought to you by the Tobacco Association of America. We're pretty sure CC's are overrated"
JohnS Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I might drink milk with my next NC to make it more 'softer and discreet'!
