Could you tell the difference?

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

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

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.
