Cigar Purchasing Dollar Trends Poll

[westg]

I have tried some non Cubans Oliva,, RP, Padron , Opus X . Its like eating shit and trying to tell yourself its caviar...it just doesnt work. Stocking up on R&J No 1 Hoyo coronations any Punch tubos which are now really hard to find for work and fishing sticks . I have been buying Australia wide Perth Bisbane Sydney Melbourne a couple have plumitted to rock bottom and then there are couple who's service is simply outstanding .next level where harnessing customer satisfaction is a priority. As for FOH they have always been and always will be my home for purchasing Cubans🌴😎

Me too. Just looking to grab some Monte 4 if they ever come back into stock. Then I’ll be set for quite a while. Plus I find myself reaching for a NC Lancero almost as often as a Cuban these days. So many good ones have been released in the past few years.

I didn't start smoking cigars until late 2021 (very unfortunately), but I bought a single 5 pack of Cubans early '22. Everything before that was non Cuban. Since then, I'd say my humidor is easily like a 60/40 split being Cuban/non, and I'm still acquiring the essentials before I get priced out, or I'm content. (are we ever though?)

A lot of buzz going around for the Illusione Epernay Le Grande, have you tried it? I've got a few, but I've yet to try one. I'm 100% in agreement that Cuban > Non Cuban for my tasting preferences, but it is also nice to know that I've got cost effective fallbacks if Cubans go out of my reach.
