i have had many that seemed like they were rolled by my 10yo brother....(and yes they were all bought from legit places)
Nothing more annoying than paying ?15+ for a CC that is plugged, or keeps on going out...
Before anyone has a tantrum, i do prefer CC's over NC's
I have found the same, NC's seem to be more consistent if a little loose sometimes, I was told to send plugged Cigars back to the vendor for a replacement ???, anyone got any thoughts on this.
I'm rather inexperienced with NCs but the one I smoked yesterday was a very good cigar indeed....Rocky Patel "the edge" Topredo. Full bodied, lots of flavour (leather, earth, cocoa and something else I couldnt really figure out...something caramel like) with cool near perfect draw. Maybe it was my mood and the company of good friends, but I didnt expect such an enjoyable smoke for a NC....I will definately try this again.
The other NC I tried and concidered a good smoke was the Oliva V torpedo. The problem with this one though is that with a price of 12+ quid it comes against far superior cuban alternatives.
Ive tried a few NCs now and ive found a few of the cheap and cheerful bundles can be pretty good if you can find them The flor de oliver maduro cigars are pretty good along with flor de todo also the 5 packs of Toscano Classicos float y boat because they are something completely different and for ?20 thats 20quid well spent in my books.

Seriously, you won't regret having spent the dough on such a great NC! In my opinion, the Oliva V Torpedo is one of the best in a great line of NCs!
Im going to say now ive tried some more the Oliva V torp and double robusto are great along with the Arturo Fuente Anejo Maduro 50 (yes i had to copy paste that) and for some decent cheap sticks the Oliva G Robusto is just right up there and for only ?6 each cummon you cant knock that.
My Current thinking is that the entire Oliva, Arturo Fuente and Don Pepin Garcia ranges are pretty solid. By solid I mean they're pretty damn good.
Scratch Oliva, OK some of them. Padron on the other hand, and most AF and anything Garcia & Garcia are more than pretty damn good, they're mighty damn good. At lot of the Boutique brands are excellent too. SOSA for one.
Tats I must admit have not really done a lot for me, and the Gurkha's I've tried have been little better than compost.
If you want to, you can.
And, if you can, you must!
I might have to scratch my liking of the oliva g after last nights performance it decided to tunnel right down the middle and even after a heavy dinner it made me feel giddy and gave me the mcsweats.
And to top that off even the ciggie smokers told me this morning they didnt like the smell.
