I just can't smoke the stuff, tastes like dirt and what I presume sweaty feet taste like, anyone else feel the same way?

The only cigar that I have had that has any honduran filler is the CAO MX2 and it is one of my favorite smokes, but the filler was only partly honduran. I have had some with binders from honduras and that hasn't been a problem either. I have never a straight honduran filler. maybe it only works well with others!

One word, CAMACHO. All Honduran puro's, all delicious!:-)
[Reply]

:-):-):-):-)
I like most Camacho's, especially the Corojo (the brown label Davidoff)

:-)

Nope, I like me some Honduran leaf:
Camacho
Punch Gran Puro
El Rey del Mundo
Don Tomas
Maria Mancini
5 Vegas Gold
Nestor Reserve Connecticut

Granted, it's also the domain of Rolando Reyes :-), but there's tasty sticks coming out of the country, don't kid yourself.

amen.

Taboo's are Honduran too if I am not mistaken.
[Reply]

HSG - Honduran Sun Grown. Great smokes.
[Reply]

Honduran is my least favorite tobacco as well.
[Reply]

Mexican and Brazilian are worse
[Reply]

I've never had Mexican, and the only Brazilian I;ve had have been Brazilian Maduro wrappers. Those weren't bad.
[Reply]

maybe I should have been more subtle, I think Brazilian tobacco sucks. I know a lot of people love it, I don't.

I bought a box of ERdM Tinos from JR's a while back that was fantastic. They also had an '02 box code when I got them so the 5+ years of rest may have had something to do with it.

Does that mean I'm going to be buying any Honduran smokes in the near future?

...not likely :-)

(unless I can find another box of those '02s)
[Reply]

Punch Gran Puros are fantastic. I also quite like HdM Excallibur maduros, which are at least partly honduran.
[Reply]

As far as NCs, would rather have Nicaraguan, with Dominican and Honduran next.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!!!

Torano
Don Lino
RP
Sancho Panza
Zino

...just to name a few others. No, I don't think all Honduran tobacco tastes like dirt. Honduran tobacco has a secure place in my humidor.

It depends on who blends it and how it is fermented/cured. The Eiroa boys (Camacho) can blend Honduran tobacco very well, so can Nestor Plasencia IMO. Honduran tobacco does have a very earthy flavor, and if it's lousy tobacco that flavor can easily go from "earthy" to "sour dirt".

Honestly, Dominican tobacco is my least favorite. Smoked a Columbian puro recently and it had potential but was way too mild.

Camacho - limited experience, but the ones I've had were good
Punch - any of their blends, good cigar at a good price point.
