Anyone Heard or tried these?
Nica Libre


Calling all Padron fans!

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

Thanks, All!:tu

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.

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 :tu

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

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.

I smoked one in a blind review and didn't like it at all. But it could have just been a bad stick.

My thoughts: they are decent to good but a little young still give them 6mo to a year and they will be similar to a Padron as in that same earthy maduro flavor category but they are not a Padron IMO each is a little different.

I bought a 5ver of them and wasn't overly impressed but I really didn't give it a fair shake either as I was fixing something or the other. (like always :tu )

I always knew gurkhas were bad, but I didn't know that they killed you.:)
I don't want to go to heaven yet.

Nope. I think the Padron x000 series are overly harsh and bitter. I liked the Nica better.

Now, there is no way the Nica is better than the Padron 26 or Anni :)

Dan, remember I got my Nica's about 2 weeks before I gave you one, so there was pretty much no rest. The first one I smoked was right out of the mail from C.I....and it was pretty wet, but smoked good and I liked the overall flavor.

Thats good to know! I imagine they would get even better then if I liked one with no rest. Thanks again for the stick :tu
