Good to hear youve found a cigar you really like. im with you on the Cuban thing-just because its cuban doesnt mean ill like it, equally there are lots of NCs i love.

As I try the many different NC's out there, I can sort of understand why some folks could care less about the cubanos once they've found a few NC's they really love. My favorite cubano (HDM Epi. No. 2) is a hard smoke to beat, but I'm slowly finding some NC's that can at least compete - and the Rocky Patel I highly recommend!

ps: Not all cubanos are great either. I got some Cohiba Siglo II that I didn't care for at all. Just my two !

Rem: And welcome to Patelia!! (see thread related to Patelians)
I think the RPs are excellent smokes too, although I cannot say I have ever had a real Cuban cigar, with NCs like the Vintage 1990's and 1992's ignorance is bliss I recommend the RP edges also, I prefer the Maduro Edge but, I have had the Corojo too; it's just a little fuller. And thanks for putting the Cuban/NC thing into perspective.

I am a huge Patel fan. Like everyone else is saying. Try the Sun Grown. Those are my favorite, though I have yet to try the Nording. I had the pleasure of meeting him when he showed up at my local Vendome's Rocky Patel cigar dinner. He is a very nice guy. Knows his cigars and is passionate about them and the hobby itself. Great quality control plus his passion for cigars= Great Product!
