CC, NC, or both?

[73mountaineer]

While I am still very new to CC's, I still enjoy both. I do find that the NC's that I seek out these days are only those that seem to have the most Cubanesque reputation. That said, if I am sitting down to enjoy a cigar it is very difficult for me to pick a NC over a CC when selecting something from my humidor. The exception being something new that I have been really wanting to try.
For an everyday lunch time or commute cigar, it will be a NC simply because I won't smoke my limited supply of CC's for those times.

I really don't care to be honest...If I like it I smoke it! I'm about 50/50 really.
They both have there own contributes.

Definitely still smoke both.

Of the NCs I only smole certain stuff. Lot of illusione, some Pepin, some Tat.
CCs I am all over. Probably 70%CC, but the 30% non I smoke I think is every bit as good as the CC. Also agree on the strength factor. Even the strongest CCs are mild compared to the strong Nics.

I have a few CCs that are faves, and a few DRs, and Honduran, but I am a big Nicaragua fan. Each have their own personalities.:thumbsup:

As said by previous posters, I like both, for different reasons too. I enjoy learning about, experiencing, and appreciating the tastes and characteristics of each stick I smoke.

I smoke both. To be fair CCs are far and few between for this guy. Recently received a box of Cohiba Maduro 5s, tasty but need some age.

If CC became widely available they'd be in the rotation however, I couldn't see myself giving up NC for CC.

So many great CC and NC out there and I enjoy them both.

lol obv no offense to anyone, I was just meaning I'm sure there would be some guys who would only smoke cubans to be able to say they only smoked cubans.

I know people who only smoke NCs to be able to say they never smoke CCs.

I smoke both. Probably more NC's than CC's simply due to the fact I like to let my CC's rest. For NC's it's mostly from Nic.

Yes, NC's can be one dimensional, but if it's a dimension I like, I'm happy. A lot of custom Cubans I smoke are one dimensional, but very tasty.

I like strong full bodied smokes. Sometimes I like to kickback with a nice strong peppery reliable smoke where I don't have to worry about the burn, the draw or any of that crap - If I do have problems, I can just pitch it, and grab another. Don't have to worry if the Cuban womans' virgin thighes were a little tight from the bus ride over to the factory that morning.
