Re: Box of Nica Libre W/ Pics

I tried my first this past weekend. It is a very nice Nicaraguan smoke, very "Padronesque" in style. Draw was slightly tight but that will get better with age. Most definitely box worthy.

Re: Box of Nica Libre W/ Pics

I'm pretty much with everyone here. When I first saw them in the CI catalog, I kept pointing them out to co workers saying how good they look. Ill have to order some of these next time.

Re: Box of Nica Libre W/ Pics

Smoked one last night. It was straight of the truck. It hit me w/ a pepper blast right off the bat that I was not expecting. After the 1st 1/3 it mellowed out to a rich, woody flavor. The second 1/3 the woody flavor remained w/ a touch of cream and a hint of coffee and a tinge of pepper in the background. The Padron thousands have a little more coffee-esque flavors than the Nica Libre. I had a few burn problems that corrected pretty easily. This was probably due to the fact that CI ships sticks a little wet. Overall I enjoyed the smoke and I think with a little rest they will only get better. For the price they are worth the money.

Saw something when I was researching myself a while back that they were made by Nestor Placencia. Truth? Who knows, but I won the first box ever on C-Bid a couple of months ago ($37!). I've smoked one, and they are very yummy for the price. Padron? No, but similar to the x000 series. 1990? No idea.

February 25, 1990 was the day that Nicaragua gained their independence from the Sandinistas. I'm guessing that's where the Nica Libre 1990 comes from.

Got a box of Exclusivos arriving today...can't wait

Sorry, I took the box on a short deployment with my National Guard Unit. I smoked one, saved one, and the rest went to the guys. My impression of the one was good, not great. Padron anniversary it is not, but still a good stick for the money.

Nice construction, good draw, burned perfectly all the way (no touch ups). The flavor was mild/medium, no spice and pretty much one dimensional...didn't change at all throughout. I am looking forward to trying the one I saved, it's been laid down now for a few months. I'll let you know if it developed any more strength or complexity.
