Could you tell the difference?

@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 ?

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

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...

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.

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.

MY SUPER JIZZ powers should easily tell.
