twk123 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 frankly... I am happy with Padron. Is that you, tis indeed... Firestone makes some awesome beer. Their Wookey Jack is on my top 5 favorite brews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Just like coffee, soil and climate have a lot to do with the finished product. So does the species of plant... probably more than the difference between weather and soil. This is why Nicaragua is highly praised, its pretty much the same as cuba. In the end, no one claims their cigars are cuban, just like tequila comes from tequila jalisco and champagne comez from that region in france... but they are just as good.

seti Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 My dad was a cigar smoker from the 1940's to around 2000. When he passed he had a stash of dozens of boxes. I used to get him Cuban's from a friend who traveled often. He told me not to pay too much because he felt the Dominican and Nicaraguan Cigars where better than the Cubans. From then on I bought him top notch Dominican cigars and he was much happier. He did however enjoy the fact that they were rare.. I think Kaiser ended up with many boxes of my dads cigars... I always hated the stinky things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIGARBUM Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Just my opinion, Cuban cigars are very over rated, quality is not near a lot of others. Just saying. Cigarbum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIGARBUM Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 First, let me explain where my opinion comes from, I have been smoking cigars for about 35 years (yes, I'm still alive). Like everything else, it's a very objective subject, so this is only my opinion, so don't get your panties in a wad. List of my 5 Favorites Fuente - Anejo, 55 Shark AVO - Classic #3 Fuente - Hemingway Classic Patron - 1964, any size Diamond Crown - Figurado #6 Just as honorable mention I will note that there a few Cuban's that are decent, Montecristo #3 and Partagas Lisatania(sp?) That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Cigarbum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) The non Cubans you listed are, on average, more expensive than the Habanos you have listed; if you have good sources.
