Cigar Equivalents

[mauied1101]

Kenyth's post (with BPP and NHs responses) here: http://www.cigarsmokers.com/t4715-am...-the-same.html on CTs and Ghurkas got me wondering...

So there are equivalents in the world... Whirlpool = Kenmore washer/dryers, Ford Escape = Mazda Tribute, you get idea...

I know Fuente makes the Ashton line, but I don't know what are the equivalents... i.e. stick for stick, and then of the two, which one's the cheaper stick.

This would be a great consumer reportish help to me and I thought might be a good idea for folks to know.

Anyone? Anyone?

So from Kenyth's thread it seems:

Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon = Ghurka Grand Envoy. Both are Cameroon wrapped, the same unusual size, the same color, packaged the same with a cedar sleeve, and taste the same.

Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 = Ghurka Regent also seem very similar to me. Box pressed, same size, close color wrapper, flavor, etc.

Ghurka Vintage = CT Casa Torano
