Nica Libre - Page 5

Here is what awaits me later.
Note my fingers semi gently compressing the void in tobacco.
That is not my fingers covering up the cigar.
That is the cigar compressed to that point.
This is the Imperial version.

Blueface · 04-02-2010, 01:17 PM

Smoked the Imperial.
Got a lot longer out of this one.
Lasted me 50 minutes.
Very similar experience to that of the Torpedo.
Enjoyed the taste up until about 3/4 of the way into it when it became a bit bitter and hot. That after taste kicked in strong at that point but had been MIA until then.

Overall, good smoke. The void did not impact the burn.
Would gladly do it again.

So far, out of four I have smoked:
Exclusivo

Principe

Torpedo

Imperial

Tomorrow on to the big boy and the last of the five sampler.

Finally posted my review, here.

Man, I must smoke slow or something. I get 90 minutes + out of everything out of my flight sampler (except that tiny bastard).

Never tried a Padron, but these tastes damn good

Never had a Padron? Never ever? Now that's nuts.

Well done Volt! I'm looking for a box of Principe's on CBid but haven't been lucky yet...

Cbid seems to be carrying the longer sized sticks. I haven't seen any boxes of the smaller sizes and only 1 in a fiver.

I had a few Nica Libre Exclusivo (5.5" x 50) sitting in my Humidor for about a month or 2... I decided to give one of them a whirl last night...

WOW... It was really pleasent... I am not going to try to explain it because I am still new to the cigar world... But so far its my favorite out of the ones that I have tried...

I don't have anything too spectacular but I am sure I will find some more like this one...

So I had my first Nica Libre this weekend and I didn't really enjoy it.

I really wanted to, and I think it might be more my fault then the cigar itself. This thing had more spice than I was expecting and that is the one flavor profile I really don't enjoy.

Too bad, because after reading this thread I wanted to love them!

There are plenty other fish in the sea!

Really? Everyone thinks so highly of these? Momma always told me if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.... so with regards to the 5 Nica Libra Torpedoes I've smoked in the last year, well... That's all I gotta say about that.

htown · 04-10-2010, 05:56 AM

Finally got my box of El Principes from the Devil Site. If I can find another box for $28 I'll jump all over it too.

Lucky dog! On a different note I tried another size of the NC and it had some simularities but was NOT nearly as good. I'm gonna try the other principe I got in the sampler and see how it goes.

Smoked one just a little while ago and it was just as tasty as the other two I smoked.

Blueface · 04-10-2010, 02:02 PM

I still need to do the biggest one of the five.

Haven't bought anymore yet.

Dad has yet to ask me to order more either.

However, at the current price, hard to beat but solely based on that.

kenstogie · 04-10-2010, 04:58 PM

Wondering about the Nica Sizes???
Well look no further....

Diplomatico (7.0" x 50)

Exclusivo (5.5" x 50)

Imperial (6.0" x 54)

Principe (4.5" x 46)

Torpedo (6.0" x 52)

This thread was started in December and it's still going today. We now know that Nica Libre/CI did a helluva marketing job on these sticks. Reminds me of a Gurkha. The cigar is crap, but the marketing is 110%.

I don't think it's crap for $2 in fact I like them but I agree with the marketing.
