Sad to see some of the CC vendors out there sitting on absolutely pitiful amounts of stock.

Even worse is seeing the ones that have something to sell are so limited, and of course the absurd price increases levied by Habanos in a last ditch effort to prop up the Cuban economy.

If ever there was a time for a change........

Yeah, I just double-checked a certain vendor that I use from time to time and their specials page has very few CCs listed. For the last couple of months it has been mostly filled with AJ Fernandez, Illusione, Plascencia and other NC brands. What passes for a "sale" price now is often higher that what regular price was just a year or so ago...Sad.

I’ve let Cubans go for now. There’s lots of good smokes out there. It’s a shame but I’m not willing to pay that price
People on here may hate me for this, but I ended up trading away most of my CC’s.

I still have an aged Partagas Lusitanias for when I land my new job, and to celebrate the new house bought in December. Too cold since then to smoke a stick that big!

There were a few that really wowed me, and I hope to grab some of those one day, but for the most part I feel there are so many NC’s that are superior (price and quality) and I would rather spend my limited time smoking one of those.

No hate, but I’ve done the exact opposite. I’ve kicked almost all NCs out of my humidors except the bougee stuff and some unicorns. Most NCs are okay, but don’t really wow me. There are a few of the boutique brands that make good stuff, but the majority of it is just one note and not much development.

I’m back to 90% CC, and no intention of changing that. I had bought a bunch of NC stuff over the last 24 months due to limited availability, but I smoke so infrequently (1-2 a week) that I might as well go all out every time I smoke.

Where’s @ChuckMejia or @Jay_Habanos when you need them? LOL

Right on, thanks for sharing!
Was it that 5’er of CC’s I sent you for winning my contest a while back that swayed you!?

I’ve still got that Churchill! But even before that, my preference has been CCs for the last few years. I’ve been smoking a ton of boutique NC stuff up until a month or two ago, but have since been liquidating everything.

i’m just glad there is no shortage of bourbon here in the south …..lol
I remember when I couldn’t hardly find Knob Creek about ten years ago. Now it’s Buffalo Trace bourbons I can’t get my damn hands on... Especially Eagle Rare and Weller. Grumble grumble grumble grumble

Haha I am with you no more NCs. 100% CCs no time to expore the NCs. But yeah the CC inventory from vendors have been limited and the prices have gone up

I am a fan of both nc&cc. Theres pros and cons to both like anything else in life.
As it stands, I'm really not thinking cc's are gonna come down in price and when/if they do quality might suffer.
Will just space out the cc's I have more, & hope my last sentence is wrong..
