Anybody got info on these? La Finca & Jose Marti?

I was gifted these cigars by my brother-in-law's brother-in-law. (My wife's sister's husband's sister's husband - we're practically family! LOL)

One is a Jose Marti and the other is La Finca. I've never heard of either brand. Anybody familiar with these? I'm gonna wait a while to smoke them, as they still smell pretty strongly of ammonia right now. The La Finca band also says "Handmade Nicaragua" on it.

Christian, La Fincas are ok yard-gars type sticks... decent enough to smoke but you wont feel bad pitching it early. They run around $1.50 per stick.

Never had the Marti

La Finca is one of my most favorite cigars. Been smoking them since 1996.
It is the most popular brand in Nicaragua I am told. Decent smoke, about 1.50-2.50 a stick.

The La Finca corona is a nice every day cigar. Nice and cheap.

I used to smoke a lot of La Fincas. As has been said, good cheap smoke!

I was going to recommend you check JR, but someone beat me to it. Nice photos, BTW.

La Fincas were the first bundle smoke I ever bought and used them to help fill up my first humi. For what they were, they are good. I was thinkin about gettin more for when we have a field party or bon fire and more importantly my friends who dont really smoke like em saving the good stuff for me!

I think I might have a couple La Finca's lying about somewhere.....

Heck I was surprised that something that doesn't seem like a well known NC even made it to B&M's up here.

The Jose Marti's sound good to me. They've been on my "to try" list as well.
