Nica Libre

[Blueface]

Just smoked the Torpedo.
Will post photos later tonight.
Of the three I have smoked, this by far was the best.
I enjoyed the cigar. I can safely and clearly state this is not a Padron profile nor is it remotely close. On its own merits, it was a very good tasting cigar.
The construction was good overall.
I hair spongy but not bad at all.
The burn was a tad uneven but not as bad as the Principe. In fact, it was not bad at all.
I didn't pick up that after taste until about 3/4 of the way into the cigar and when I did, it was minimal and didn't last very long. I must have gotten use to it by now.

The only negative I will say about it is that just like the other two, this thing burns like wildfire. I have never, ever, ever had a torpedo of this size that has burned as fast as this cigar did.
I smoked it no differently than any other cigar. In fact, half of it was done while bs' ing with my neighbor guiding him on some gardening.
I killed this cigar in only 32 minutes.

So..........don't think anyone has commented on this when speaking of value.
Sure it is a cheap $2 to $3 cigar by today's pricing but when one considers the minimal enjoyment time involved as compared to other torpedo's of the same size, such as a Padron that will take me well over an hour, one has to really question the value overall at the end of the day. In the end, you are not getting a comparable cigar for $2-$3 to that of a $5-$10. You are just getting $2-$3 worth of tobacco.

Two sizes left to go to try out. Will likely do one a day for the next couple of days.
