Are cuban cigars really the best?

You're gonna get a bunch of different answers my friend. In my opinion the one's I have had haven't lived up to the hype for me. Granted I have only smoked maybe 10 or 12, so maybe I haven't evolved yet, plus I tent to like very dark, strong maduros. So for me the answer is no. That answer would prolly be different if I had lots of money to buy some of the great one's.

I'm with Greg on this one. I have smoked about 20-25 CCs and haven't had that one that did it for me yet. Being a maduro whore...I love my sticks strong, dark and to slap me in the face!! Personal preference is what it boils down to. Smoke what you like, like what you smoke!!

I also have tried 20-25 or so, maybe a few more while in the Islands, and I don't think they are any better and actually often not as good as many of the high quality Dominicans or even some other source countries. I think there was a time many years ago that they probably were tops but not any more.

Personal taste/preference drives the answer!

I've had a fair share of CCs and to me there have been construction problems, uneven burn problems, and the taste isn't what I'd call worthy of the hype.

They are hit and miss. IMHO NCs have surpassed CCs in quality and taste.

Many brothers here only smoke CCs and love them, that's cool. That's where their taste is. I wanted to like them more but I just don't.
