Nicaraguan or Dominican tobacco

[GWU888]

So which one do you prefer? Started out smoking Dominicans and really liked em. Had a few Nicaraguans early on and didn't care for them. Then I picked up a Tatuaje Havana VI and loved it. Since then been smoking almost all Nicaraguans. What do you prefer?

Great cigars from both of these countries, really like the Illusiones from Nicaragua, but if I have to choose between those two countries, I prefer Dominicans.

Smoking a cg 4 right now. Illusions are one of my favorites.

Tasty cigars for certain.

Both. Hard to beat a tatuaje or padron from Nic and a Fuente from the DR.

Nicaragua. Hands down. Fuentes are very good, but If I had to pick one country it's a no brainer for me.

I used to prefer Dominican when I first started smoking and preferred a more mild cigar. Now my tastes have me leaning towards a more full flavor and I have found myself gravitating to Nicaraguan sticks. Still enjoy them both though.

Edit: I know that there are full flavor Dominicans and lighter flavored Nicaraguans, but generally speaking the Dominicans tend to be lighter than I prefer

Aged Dominicans, fresh Nicaraguans.

Always depends on the roller

So how do you determine the country of origin? Where the cigar was rolled, or where the leaves were grown?

... just playing devils advocate. :ccool:

 

[Senor Perfecto]

The factory where it was rolled only matters to me in terms of my familiarity with the brand. I don't care if Padron rolls their cigars in Nicaragua, Honduras or New Jersey, as long as those 1926es taste the way they do from that Nicaraguan leaf!

 

[GWU888]

Well put Senor

 

[GWU888]

Where the leaves are grown for sure

So can we add Brazil, Ecuador, Penna, Conn, Honduras, and Mexico to the list?

Love me some Mata Fina and some San Andres

 

[RacFocus]

Thankfully we don't have to choose just one.

Yuup!

Nicaragua. Hands down. Fuentes are very good, but If I had to pick one country it's a no brainer for me.

This. Although I do love me some Mata Fina.
