Well...... I went out to the PGA Colonial Golf Tournament the other day, and they were selling (at two cigar booths) several decent brands of non-Cubans. And they also had some "Cuban" Romeo y Juliet Churchills en Tubos, and some "Cuban" Cohiba Esplendidos. Now I naturally assumed they were...

Cuaba Generoso (isom 9/97) vs Bahia Vintage 96 Esplendido The aged cigar. An isom aged cigar vs a non isom aged cigar. 2 different shapes. 2 relatively new players. One a Habanos puro 3-1/2 years old, the other a blend of non Cuban vintage tobaccos 4 years old. What a battle! Which one will...
