Colt45 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 This will more than likely engender more than a few guffaws, but here goes.... I grabbed a cigar from the NC box, and while smoking, thought about how I'd like to try a cigar blended with Cuban and non Cuban tobaccos. It would be a new line, not an extension of an existing marque - maybe call it oh, I don't know, Potro, or Cuarenta y Cinco, something silly like that. An example blend could be a mix of Cuban and Nicaraguan filler, with a Connecticut wrapper. A few sizes - mareva, dalia, corona gorda, campana, and julieta2. I'd give them a shot.........
El Presidente Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Not such a wild idea Ross, especially given Altadis involvement in Habanos s.a. It is a looong way down the road as TABACUBA would not have a bar of it. I thought there was some blending of Cuban leaf with Canary Island tobacco....Goya? I know it is not Vuelta Abajo leaf as this is forbidden to be exported.
Claudius Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I heard yesterday from some Italian guys that certain Toscani are available with Cuban filler and a Connecticut wrapper.
SmokinLightning Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I like the idea... picture a Party Corona blended with a Padron Anny... throw a maduro wrapper on there for good measure. :-D

Tampa1257 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 The idea has already been done in Europe from my understanding. While they are not using prime tobaccos from Cuba, the results have been found by most people that have tried a Hybrid to be extremely less than favorable, i.e., the cigars blended with Cuban and Non-Cuban tobacco have sucked arse! I will enjoy staying with a Puro myself. Why smoke a hybrid that sucks when you can smoke a Cuban Machine made for less money?

No, they're not, but as you smoke NCs I thought you might be interested in them.

shrink Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Hey, this sounds good... About as good as Laphroaig mixed with Old Crow.
