I strongly disagree. I find many NC to be very, if not more enjoyable.

Will

Ditto that.

The more NC's I smoke, the more I find that I truly enjoy more so than the ISOM's. Of all the ISOM's I've tried, only about 3 different varieties are ones I want in my humi all the time. When it comes to NC's, well, check the "latest addition to your humidor" thread for more info on that...........lol.....

Thanks for the review JiveTurkey I was hoping those would be a lot better than that. Your review is very "on target" for the 2 different types of Philippino cigars I've tried to date and I was hoping these would be better.

Oh, btw, sat in LL "Stubs" state park campground last week and shared a Padron 3000 with my stepdaughter's boyfriend and thought of you. Nice park, nice campground. I'm in love with the Oregon coastal region! The wife and I have decided we want to retire down there......if we ever get to that is!

That's too bad. I was really hoping these and other Philippine cigars would be better. I've heard Don Juan Urquijo are leagues better than the rest of them. Maybe you and I should go in on a box split next time your family goes there.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. I haven't been to that park. I want to explore all of the state in my life, so I'll add this to the list. We'll definitely be retiring here, too.

My little brother said he liked the Don Juan Urquijo's best. He didn't remember the name, he told me, "The ones with the gold writing on a black background". When his mother-in-law goes again, I'll tell him to order a couple boxes of those and you're most welcome to some of them. Although, if they're better than the rest..............

LOL

ah the Don Juans. i believe these are the most premium smokes the Philippines has to offer. they are quite similiar to a Macanudo, imho.

thick, clean, creamy smoke, with nutty and buttery notes on the palate. not very complex. just a simple enjoyable morning smoke.

i do miss these.
