Talk:List of cigar brands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Nat Sherman - which country?
Nat Sherman is an American company, and the company is based in New York City. Their cigars, however, are manufactured in different places. Right now this article lists them under the Dominican Republic, but their website shows a box of cigars with "Made in Honduras" clearly displayed [1]. Obviously some confusion somewhere.
For right now I'm moving them to the United States portion of the list.

I, likewise, noticed a number of oddities and inconsistancies in this list. For example, nearly all of the Cuban brands also are manufactured in other countries so that they can be sold in the United States. For example, Dunhill (listed as discontinued Cuban) is still made in several other countries like the Canary Islands. Likewise, Ashton is produced in several countries, not just the Dominican Republic. 71.205.13.162 05:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
I suggest that a brand should be assigned to the country that its owner is based in, not necessarily the country in which it is manufactured. This is not an easy situation to resolve. Glacierman 06:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Just to throw another twist into the consideration: I would consider the country where the tobacco is grown to be the most important consideration, moreso than manufacture or ownership (There are a few oddities in terms of growth v. manufacture as well).
One might consider that an appropriate solution might be several lists: 'by growth', 'by company ownership', 'by manufacture'. Other organizations such as 'by flavor/intensity/rating/etc' might also make excellent lists. TheodoreLarson 07:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Boutique" brands included?
Do we include things like the cigars manufactured by Cigar Factory New Orleans (Plantation Reserve, Vieux Carre, Tres Hermanos)? Or Don Pablo Cigar Co. of Las Vegas or La Tradicion Cubana of Miami? How about Pepin Garcia's own brands (he makes Tatuaje and Cabaiguan, et alia)? For now, I am adding three of Garcia's brands to the U. S. list, as they are all made in Miami.

[edit] Cigar articles: flavour profile?
My apologies if this isn't the most efficient place for this note, but it made sense to me. I was wondering if the articles about separate cigar brands should receive sections discussing the flavour profile of a cigar? To some extent, of course, this is subjective, as the perception of taste varies within certain limits from person to person. However, seeing as there are many books and magazines in which certain traits of a cigar's flavour (including aroma, strenght, body etc.) are agreed upon, I think a general outline can certainly be included in these articles without compromising the objectiveness. Naturally, remarks about the quality of a cigar don't belong here. --Nekotaku 09:55, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
