I haven't developed a real preference yet. Each of them offers something pretty different from the others, and I like that variety a lot.

I prefer Nicaraguan and Dominican. I just like the flavor profile when I smoke these ... rich tobacco, cedar, coffee, some light spices and minerals. I've tried lots of Hondurans and most are too leathery for my tastes.

That's a big 10-4 on Tedski's response. Not a big fan of leathery/peppery flavors.

Well, I haven't smoked any Honduran sticks yet.......I think. If I want to know what they would taste like I think I'll reach for my leather belt and chew on it instead.

Don't avoid them just because some here don't like them. Your tastebuds are the only thing that matters. Try a Carlos Torano Exodus or an El Rey del Mundo and decide for yourself.

Definitely Nicaraguan and Dominican. I really like Brazilian tobacco, too. But there's only a handful of sticks that use Brazilian tobacco, and only a couple of those are puros.

I really prefer Genevian and Spanish however they weren't options. So I used to love Hondurans for their power but now I believe Nics (full body and complexity) hold my attention over the rest.

I am a big Nicaraguan fan with Dominican a close second. I too have been dabbling in Brazilian Puros and have found them excellent.
