Nica Rustica?
 

My B&M called me this morning and said they got them in and I can get a bundle of 25 for $142 plus tax. Are they worth it? Is that a good price? I have seen a little cheaper but sold out. Any input from those that have tried them would be appreciated.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I have not tried them but you can get a bundle of them on CI for 134.95 so its a bit cheaper.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Last 2 times I tried sold out.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I bought a few the other day. It was just OK.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

For the price and size, they are a very good smoke. I've had a number of the pre-release and the regular release and all have been excellent cigars.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I was expecting more flavors but for the price they are good. Nothing fancy or mind blowing.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Gotta agree here. The first (and only) one I smoked so far was a bit harsh and I like spicy cigars. I got a 5er and will hang onto the other 4 for a couple months or more....

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Yep. I smoked one at the event and it was okay. Second one I smoked, on maybe two weeks rest, was much better. Still not blown away but hoping maybe they keep getting better.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Never had one. Won't chase them.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

smoked a pre-release a couple months back, I thought they were alright, but showed signs of potential improvement with age. :2

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Agreed

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Yep, I'm thinking age will do a lot. Good smoke, and worth trying for sure.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I like these a lot

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

That's a good price for a B&M, are they worth it, I think so. A good, solid smoke fresh, like everyone else, I'm hoping some rest will improve them.

Ask MUNKY…he's partaken of the NR.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

being one of the resident LIGA whores here, I will say this. I had the original blend and it was like a recess peanut butter cup, ewwy chewy gooey. That being said, they changed the blend a little prior to release and as the ones before me said, its ok not mind blowing or an oh wow cigar. Its a decent $7 stick. Great marketing, great look and appeal, but hopefully the brick i put down will take on some new life in about a year.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I have enjoyed the Nica Rustica and wouldn't hesiate at $5.68 per stick. Smoke a couple and let the rest sit for a bit. I am sure you will be happy with the purchase.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I thought it was pretty good. Tons of smoke output one one I've had

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I was completely dissatisfied with the one I had. Chalking it up to a "dud and will see how the other four turn out with a little rest. :2

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I hate to be the humbug of the group... but why the f are you asking other people whether or not you should try a cigar? Everyone's tastes are different. Please, for the love of Zino... try it for yourself and decide if YOU like it.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I wouldn't spend 142.50 without some input from others...just sayin

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

That might be your policy on deciding on whether or not to try a new cigar, but clearly some members value the opinions of others enough to go along with their suggestion or experience. He asked for an opinion, and members shared their experience, not whether he should buy it or not. :2. Coming into an opinion based thread and saying you should try it yourself is kind of pointless if you ask me...that would be like me going into the Maduro Thread and saying "maduros suck" (not that I'd ever say that mind you)

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Wasn't trying to start anything here. Just opinions. Jeremy you are kind of right. I almost never buy a box without smoking at least 1. But these seem to be HTF at the moment because of the Liga hype, I guess. So I wanted to get some opinions. After hearing some I went with a 10pack. But just recently, I bought a box of Jason Tats, without tasting, just because they are so HTF. But before they were even in my Humi, I threw 5 up for sale at my cost to ease the blow. This just seemed cheap enough for a box of 25 that if the concensus was great stick great deal go for it, I probably would have. So in this opinion thread everyone is correct. And thank you all for the input.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Nothing wrong with asking for opinions on a cigar :tu

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

+1. If no one asked questions, this board wouldn't have as much activity.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Didnt mean to come off as a jerk. Now i see that is exactly how that post sounded. I guess the better way to have said what i was trying to say is each cigar strikes everyone differently and i get that question asked to me 100 times a day. "Well, whats YOUR favorite cigar? Or do YOU like this one?" My answer is always, whichever one im currently smoking.

I always try to be nice to those around here because so many around here have been so nice to me. I apologize if i offended. I can get my hands on some nicas for you to sample. Shoot me your addy.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

All good brother! :tu Sorry if I sounded like one, too!

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

As I said Jeremy. I was asking for opinions and you gave yours like others gave theirs. I can be pretty blunt and I tell people if you ask for my opinion you might not like it. I took no offense and I hope others didn't either. As someone said, opinions and discussions drive this board to be such a great place.

Thank you for all of your opinions.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Bad website management! They need to "neuter" the purchase icon to reflect "sold out" in the future:2

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

Thank you Mark. I grabbed some at the B&M. Smoked one thought it was good.

Re: Nica Rustica?
 

I've now had a handful and I just can't get myself to enjoy them. I was really hoping they would be in my wheelhouse but no dice.
