NCs

[Aussiewaz]

Have I touched a nerve amigo?!? Sorry if I've upset you.

In no way have you touched me (Keep your hands away LOL). We in Oz are like you guys in as much as I can buy cubans legally and indeed 3 miles from my house. I've just seen numerous BOTL's state a similar thing as you then find a few really good NC's down the track. I've done the same. Just having a debate on the merits of NC's & I sincerely hope you find a wow cigar amongst them. *Smile*

A lack of complexity of flavour development is something which, in my opinion, would be more accurately levelled at many NCs. I've regularly had NCs with pleasant flavours, but little depth and not much by way of a 'journey' from the first third to the last.

Simon- you've put into words my thoughts exactly....and in a much better way than my slightly drunk fed-up "rant" of last night
(sore head this morning )

Fair enough mate I think it's more disappointment than anything else as I've yet to smoke one that even mildly interests me.
I only smoke 2-3 cigars a week as a treat to myself and when my 'treat' lets me down, I get a bit fed up....

I here that. I've been there as well. "Go To" smokes are called that for a reason. LOL

I like all cigars, some i like more than others, i like CCs as well as NCs, but for me i smoke more NCs than any others. Thats probably down to prices too. I love to try something new and i also have my favourites..

Speaking from the heart

I've tried my best to like non-Cubans bit of the eight I've smoked lately they've all been as bland as arseholes. I really wish I could like them as I could save a lot of beans but they're just so awful. I tried one tonight but gave up half way through and lit a Flor de Cano...a cheap as chips Cuban but it it was 1000% better than the NC......

Are ye ? So how do arseholes taste? What is this world coming too ?
You must be hammered ! Such comments by the Chief Judge !

Huh? I don't quite understand what you're getting at Mike?!?
What comments?! Using the word 'arseholes' ? If so, I'm sorry....swearing isn't nice...or clever

Just a play on words Stevie no harm no foul. You have added a little (and I mean a little) life and spice to this forum .Lord knows it needs it.

Heh heh!! No surprises the Eggy

Love the JLPC's. Smoked my last from the box last week.
Never tried the no.2, will need to get a couple to try. How, if at all, do they compare with the PC?

Sorry off topic, I know.

have to agree only nc i have really really liked

[HabanoSy]

Here you go Stevieboy, have you tried any of these...!?!

Ashton VSG Tres Mystique...
Very, very nice 20/30 minute morning smoke with a good coffee or tea...

Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight I...
Does not evolve like a Cuban of this size, but a very nice after dinner smoke and for approx ?3 a stick, one mustn't really grumble...

Padron Magnum (Maduro)...
Honestly, IMO one of the 'best' A sized cigars out there. Has to be the Maduro though...

Very flavourful cigar with loads of dark chocolate, espresso & earthy notes...

Cheers, HabanoSy
