I have been trying to purchase some 100% cotton towels locally for my Zaino removal. I have a few questions...
The Charisma's that everybody loves are Supima cotton. According to Bed Bath and Beyond (ok, I know, probably not the most reliable source) the Egyptian Cotton towels are softer than the Supima cotton towels. Are the Supima cotton towels preferred for one reason or another?
I was thinking about purchasing some Wamsutta Centennial towels that are 100% cotton with 100% Egyptian Cotton Loops made in the USA. They feel pretty nice, soft, and plush, nicer than a lot of the other towels at Bed Bath and Beyond. The only ones they had they were nicer were some Grand Patrician's. However, the Grand Patricians were $15/towel, these are $8/towel.

Anyway, I was unable to compare side by side with a Charisma.
Main question...are Supima Cotton towels better than Egyptian Cotton towels?
The only information I have been able to find so far has been...
"Supima Cotton: In 1912, the first commercial crop of Pima cotton, named for local Indians, was harvested in America's Southwest. It was the result of combining Egyptian cotton and the cotton grown by the Pima Indians, creating an extra long staple acknowledged as the finest in the world. In addition to a silky hand and outstanding wear characteristic, Pima cotton is up to 30% stronger than other domestically grown cottons. Its longer staple length imparts ultra-fine softness and longer wear. For the highest quality look for the Supima Cotton label. This is the registered trademark for Pima cotton grown in the U.S. Only products made from 100% Supima Cotton can carry the label, so you are assured of soft, long lasting quality.
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton, grown in the Nile Valley, is another long staple fiber famous for its lush feel and soft drape. It is often blended with lower grade cottons, so look for 100% Egyptian to get the ultimate quality."
Thoughts? Thanks.
