My interest was started with a CC(or what I thought was one). I was given a cigar to try after expressing interest in a cigar that a guy was smoking(who is now a good friend) It was a cohiba that was on retrospect bunk. But that being said it was very interesting how good it tasted compared to the nasty tobacco that cigarettes(I was a cig smoker at the time) had. It started a huge interest that had me mostly focusing on the big pepper bombs from nicargua and I really liked those for the first 6 months or so of my adventure with cigars. Then I tried a Pardigas short 07 that pretty much floored me. I was amazed that it had layers of complexity of flavor without the being a full on pepper bomb. Then slowly my palate has changed to where I don't really like most nc's anymore. I dream of CC's all day when I am at work. My experence is very limited compared to I alot of you guys I am sure. But recently I have had a 05 monte edmundo, and a 09 PSP 2 that blew my mind. Thank you for reading my little rant. Have many of you guys had a similar progression when it comes to nc to cc's? I really did not like many of the cc's that I tried before that 07 pardigas short. Now I find that the forgive me for my newbie terms but the sweet tobacco flavor and finish that I get with a nice cc is all I can think about when dreaming about cigars. Well that and some tat's and aged opus's.
