Nica Rustica?

Coach Deg · 12-04-2013, 07:37 AM

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.

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

Last 2 times I tried sold out.

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

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.

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

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....

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.

cmitch · 12-04-2013, 12:14 PM

Never had one. Won't chase them.

stearns · 12-04-2013, 12:16 PM

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

Agreed

Smoqman · 12-04-2013, 12:24 PM

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

Don Fernando · 12-04-2013, 12:33 PM

I like these a lot

MrClean · 12-04-2013, 01:56 PM

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.

Lockspur · 12-04-2013, 02:31 PM

Ask MUNKY…he's partaken of the NR.

MUNKY · 12-04-2013, 02:36 PM

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.

Veatorious · 12-04-2013, 04:13 PM

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.

CoffeeWaterBeer · 12-04-2013, 05:56 PM

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

kelmac07 · 12-04-2013, 06:27 PM

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.

ninjavanish · 12-04-2013, 09:41 PM

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.
