I've heard you people, other people, hell *lots* of people shout high the praises of that ever-so-forbidden leaf from the ISOM.
My question to you fine folks then, is this: understanding fully that there aren't many things that can ever replace an original jewel (the Cuban cigar), have any of you found a Non-Cuban cigar that has a:
-similar, exact, or (gasp) ever-better flavor than something from the Island? That is, something special that gives a 'legal smoke' the extra oomph, a bit of something that, were it not there, you'd 'mistake' the NC for a Cuban?
Details are always welcome, strength, flavors detected, cigar type/size/time to smoke, general price range, etc. Pictures help.
This post, I'm hoping, is for newbies like me who've never has a Habano; I'm thinking maybe finding something similar would a) prep us for the day when we can get ahold of one or b) give us a decent substitute we can legally have now.
c) would be I just enjoy the pretty pictures. :ss
What'll you all think though, think this is a worthwhile test? If there's similar thread, mods I beg thee not to smite me, and kindly point the way. I didn't see any in my admittedly quick search.
