Nica Libre???

longknocker · 09-25-2009, 04:41 AM

Anyone Heard or tried these?
Nica Libre

Calling all Padron fans!

Hand-crafted in Nicaragua
Supposedly "An Excellent Alternative" to Padron. Curious.

Thanks, All!

I know a few people that have tried them and they did like them and they did remind them of a Padron. I think its one of those cigars that is worth the money to buy a box and forget about it for awhile, then it will be a great smoke!

I've never smoked a Padron, so I can't compare them, but Nica Libres are a tasty smoke.

Never smoked one, but people keep telling me that they are a decent smoke, just don't expect them to taste like a Padron.

Never smoked a Padron!?

Remedy that ASAP!

I have a box on the way. I'm not paying much attention to the Padron comparison, but the word on the street is they're pretty good. We shall see

i got a feeling u will do very soon

I bought a box of the exclusivo off cbid and smoked one off the truck. It was a little rough around the edges but all in all not a bad stick. I wouldn't go comparing them to Padron's other than being a Nic puro. It was a good inexpensive cigar that will get better with age that I would buy again in the future. Just my $.02 though

You going to be able to fit them in with all those gurkhas in your humi?

s15driftking · 10-19-2009, 08:37 PM

probably not... i will toss them in my **** humidor!!!

Caymus · 11-05-2009, 09:38 AM

I think they are a very good cigar for the price, taken on their own merits. I've got a box squirreled away, and occasionally smoke some singles.

s15driftking · 11-05-2009, 09:44 AM

They do not taste liek padrons.. but they are very good for the price. Im happy.

The unlit aroma of the foot is amazing!!!
