Hello all. First off nice forum. Appears to be lots of expertise and knowledge here. Decided to take up cigars in Jan this year. Started off with Guantanamerra minuto and cristales and tried a few tubed cubans such as: Punch. RyJ. Bolivar 1,2. Montecristo. Also RyJ wide churchills and Cohiba siglo II. Only non cuban I had was a dunhill altamira which i found to be nice but mild. So far my favourite is the bolivar no 3.
Recently i thought i would give the non cubans a try and had a La Aurora preferido red and a Macanudo 1968 Rothschild. When i finish smoking i sometimes break open the remaining cigar out of curiosity. I found quite hard stalks in the macanudo. I also found the taste to be quite unpleasant (first cigar i have found to be quite horrible). May just be my tastes but i was wondering if the stalks were a contributing factor.
Sorry for the long introduction but if anyone has any thoughts then please educate me on quality and grades of tobacco.
Many thanks.
