Nica Libre (Padron's Stepchild)

[sikk50]

I enjoy these. I see a lot of people that don't but I feel like most of them go into it with the expectation of it tasting like a Padron since it looks like one. If you go into it with the thought that it's a $2-3 cigar you may be more pleasently supprised. JMHO

I think Andy is right on. I think it was just a marketing thing to call them Padron knockoffs. Get some buzz about them n all. I am currently smoking the Torpedo and it's pretty good. Surely not a PAM 64 but for the $2 it very nice. I had a Principe about a week ago and it really was a great cigar. I don't like all of AJ Fernandez's stuff but almost all of it.

That's right. I've got a cheap 5ver of the (Diplimatico?), like a churchill. It gets kinda boring by the end. I'd like to try the Prnicipe for $2. Probably a good buy.
