"I can't believe it's not Cuban"

[Strickland]

I'm not a CC virgin, but I've only had one, so I might as well be when it comes to comparing them. How do you guys find the NC cigars from traditional CC companies? I mean, do NC RyJs and Sancho Panzas compare with CC RyJs and Sancho Panzas?

Does a company that makes a good CC have a leg up on making a good NC?

Not sure i get you correctly, but no CC company makes any NC smokes.

And as to the NC's with the same names as the real CC deal, there's no comparison. The CC's are far far better, not in the same league, not even the same sport.

^ yes and yes, except maybe the Punch brand. I have yet to smoke a Cuban Punch that really did it for me (other than 1 DC), whereas the NC Punch lines are pretty decent sticks and cheap when you get them on sale/online.

I thought the Casa Magna had a Cuban flavor to it.
