Thank you all for your kind comments. Oppurtunity like this doesn't come that often so I utilized in in full scale. I will share more stories. It was a fascinating and an eye opening experience for me. I appreciate your words.
This is good reading Rip. Interesting. Seems they prefer strong coffee but milder cigars. The new Serie E you got are supposed to be more intense though right ?
That was a very good read. I don't have any experience with cubans, but it's interesting that most of them had the same general comments when comparing cubans against the others you shared. Thanks for posting all of this!
Hey Rip. Just a thought/question. I know the Cuban people are very proud of their tobacco heritage. Do you think there could be a bit of bias towards CC over NC. Now... I am not saying that one is better then the other. I would rather smoke $4.00 CC over most gimmicky $10-$18 NC.... Just seeing what you thought.
I sincerely thank you all you for your kind Words. I will continue posting about my discovery from Cuba. If you have any specific question then please feel free to ask. I have so much in my head now and sometime I get confused what to write about next.
Everything looks so beautiful there very nice Rip truly enjoyed the read thanks for sharing your experience with the rest of us. The one thing I truly love about this hobby is how everyone taste cigars differently. I for one love straight power but with the help of some of you guys have been trying to refine my palate. It's great to here about some of the greats in the cuban cigar industry that you were able to meet and how they were so open minded to other countries making cigars. The only thing I would like to add and I can be very wrong but maybe some of the families that exiled have a such a poor view of cuban cigars because of what happened to them and their families not that it's an excuse.
Thanks Rip. It is really interesting to read that I am not the only one who finds many NC cigars harsh, metallic, and too powerful. In the past I had thought that cubans were mostly hyped and cigars from the DR could be just as good but it seems as though I need to revisit that theory.
