Non Cuban Packaging is awesome

[Moley]

NC packaging is awesome. Ive tried one diamond crown cigar before and rated it.

As far as packaging goes I dont think you can beat Opus x boxes

I’ve not enjoyed a non Cuban to date, admittedly I haven’t had many, but the packaging is doing its job in making me want to buy a box

The biggest problem I've found with NC vs CC for most people, is that if they buy a CC, they'll probably like it - however, there are so many NCs of such varying quality that it can become much akin to looking for a particular speck of dust in the Cosmos. So people give up and stick to Cubans.
However, if you're okay with putting some time (and money!) into it, then, imho, there are some superb sticks to be enjoyed

Probably very true, I have enjoyed most of the CCs I’ve smoked and not been impressed by the few NCs I’ve tried. It is not always easy to find the time to seek out that elusive speck of dust and when buying cigars in this country, with the high tobacco taxes, not generally worth the money.

I'll second that Andy, I've smoked an Andalusian Bull and a Monte 80th Anniversary this week and there was nothing between them (heresy!). Same length of time to smoke. Same good build quality and same mild flavour profile and low nic yield for a big stick. I'm now off to the beach without my phone. Let the protests begin.

Monte 80th quite disappointing in my eyes, another fat wind tunnel that doesn't deliver what it promises.

I have 4 of these, and i have heard a lot of lacklustre noise about them...hoping with a few years on them they could mature more...

But hey, maybe I ca, sell 'em on FB for 1.5 times retail in a year and become a FB cigar god!

They have a good flavour but no transitions if that's what you're seeking.

That will work perfectly fine for me!

I have found myself in miami for a few days and found a few very good shops so will be picking up a box of these!
