hi! im new here as well. we have the same preference for strong cigars. i personally love Sancho Panzas, Padrons, and anything made by Mr. Ernesto Perez Carillo (La GLoria Cubana, El Rico Habano, El Credito, etc.). i have yet to try stuff by CAO, and i think i would like them when i do.
you're right, maybe you just got bad some Cuban smokes. i personally think that they are the best out there. im not dissing non-Cubans for that matter. i think they are both great in their own right, each having distinct advantages over the other. Cubans are definitely one of a kind, but they are very expensive and that doesn't allow the average person like me to smoke them on a consistent basis. this is where non-Cubans are better. they have a wider selection, probably 4x as much, and are a lot cheaper and taste really good too. in the end, it still boils down to smoking what YOU like.
You are what you eat. That's why I'm a fat bastard.
