Kouki,
The reason you liked the Cuban so much is because it is the first REAL cigar you had. Those gas station ones arent good for anything other than rolling a blunt. I didint even KNOW people actually tried to smoke them alone.
Also, keep in mind Cohiba makes more than just Cubans. As I stated above, I bet if I gave someone both, they couldnt tell the difference.
Now dont get my wrong, a Cuban is a great cigar, matter of fact I have a few left in my humidor, however they are not the holy grail of cigars that they used to be.
