Ok searched this whole thread, been lurking for a bit, thought I would have stumbled across the answer by now with how much I see this one here.

What does NH mean when listed after a cigar name? Every time I see it I can't help but think "Oooh that one was made in New Hampshire!".

Great info. I've been reading these threads for some time now but have never jumped in until now. I visit my local cigar shop once a week and always try something different. I do not have a favorite yet but I have enjoyed almost all. Any suggestions? I enjoy a smoke with notes of pepper, cedar, and earth.
