So I know that the cuban Dunhill's are terrific (at least I've heard) but are the NCs any good?

I think they are good in their own right, but the NC Dunhill's are nothing even remotely close to their older Cuban brethren.

Mild, creamy and expensive. Good but not great. You are paying for the name, really.

Expensive for sure, but isn't worth trying at least one? Then you'll know.:-)

I like the Aged range quite a bit. Smooth, mellow, refined. The Signed range is fuller and more peppery--I'd like it more if it was a bit cheaper. If I'm spending the money, I'll get the Aged range.

Where is the overpriced throw up smiley?

This is the best I can do. :-)

I was fortunate to smoke a Dunhill Signed Range Churchill last night... :-)

Paired with a dram of Glenlivet 18 yo single malt, the marriage of smoke and scotch flavors resulted in tastes that were outstanding. The DSR uses Cameroon leaf as a binder, which gave the cigar a different, almost sweet tasting creamy smoke at times. :-)

The DSRs are pricey - $21 for a Churchill, ranging down to $11 for a Petit Corona - but I'll be trying different sizes of this cigar in the future because I personally enjoyed that first one very much. :-)

I have never smoked a Dunhill CC, and doubt that it will happen in the near future, so I'll have to try out the NC DSR's every so often.

I went to a Dunhill tasting a few weeks ago. The grand prize for the raffle was a 6 cigar sampler of the signed range in a magnetic locking box with a steel punch cutter. Guess who won? :-)

JMHO, but they're too mild for me. And for the price of one I could get two VSGs.




I won't, but I could.
