Could you tell the difference?

[Old Smokey]

If you were given 3 all puro unbanded cigars, all the same size, could you tell by smoking which was from the Dominican, Nicaragua and Cuba? I feel like I could but I am far from certain. How about you? Could you tell?

[Usafvet509]

Cuba, yes. The twang gives it away. Nic vs DR? Dunno, I was surprised at the strength of Partagas Black being DR. Did you forget Honduras? On a related note, I am going to order a Mexican sampler soon. Curious to see how they taste

[jpalamar]

I could and I'm not that good.

Hey Trent. No, I just didn't wanted to keep it pretty simple. I haven't really smoked very many Hondurans so I left it off. But if anyone wants to include them in the mix, go for it.

This is where I learn about how you can tell so tell me because Ive read what others say...how do you tell

[sparky426]

No doubts. No questions. Yes

[TreySC]

I haven't smoked enough Cubans to pick out the twang, but I think I could figure out the nica

[Usafvet509]

The limit of my ability is this: I know Hondurans have a rich wood/spice combo best displayed IMO by El Rey del Mumdo. Nicaraguans I know by peppery power, black and red pepper assaults.That's all I know. Smoking a monstrous DR now, the Opus A that you gave me, Steve

TreySC, my best description of the twang is this: it's a subtle, slightly grassy, pleasant note that seems to hide under the main notes. Do I have it, jp1979, Trackmyer?

It's hard to explain I guess, and i am far from an expert on the subject. I will say that the retro hale is a dead give away for me.

I've only had 2 CC'S, I could could tell at the time they were different from NC'S just not sure if I could figure it out blind.

yes on the Cuban; not sure about Nic vs. DR.
And I can definitely tell the difference between a real Cuban and a fake :puke:

Same here, have had 2 cc's and I could definitely see a difference, though it might have just been in my head knowing it was "supposed" to be better, not sure I'd see it blind.

I haven't smoked enough varieties yet to tell each from the other though...

[Cardinal]

Most of the time I could tell the Nic vs. DR apart, but I've only smoked a handful of CCs.

Smoking blind can really mess with me though, because a hint of flavor can send me down the totally wrong track as I've proved before in some of the blind review passes. For example, for me the LFD Double Ligeros have the pepper, earth, and cocoa that I associate with a Nicaraguan. Going the other way though, I can't think of any Nicaraguans off the top of my head where I think I'd guess DR.

[defetis]

Cuban= distinct twang taste Nicaragua= pepper/spice Dominican= a very obvious gritty dark soily dirt taste (may be very faint but there always on retrohale)

ok mention of grass???? what mean grass an what kind of grass???

[jhedrick83]

If they are puros, I'd say yes. I'm with Justin, the retrohale would be the giveaway.

[Shemp Jizzle]

MY SUPER JIZZ powers should easily tell.
