    I am really interested in these smokes, when one of you smoke one make sure you tell us what you thought! If it is anything like the padron 64, I will be buying a box.

    I actually smoked one last night and it was a damn fine cigar! I was impressed with how much flavor it had and how well it burned. For the price you just can't beat these and I WILL be getting more. I should have jumped all over that daily deal. It does remind me quite a bit of the Padron's. Awesome smoke! Jump all over them if you find a good deal.

    I'm having my first one now. I tripled up on the daily deal a couple of weeks ago and couldn't wait any longer to try them. Only about a third of the way in, but not bad at all. Not quite as complex or full bodied as the Padron, but similar nonetheless. For the price, very good indeed!

    I don't know if I would compare it to the Padron Anniversary's, to me it was more even with the El Mejor Espresso or CI Anniversary Epicures. A very smooth, mellow smoke though. Worth every penny and then some.

    I had one of these this past week and after my head caved in from sucking so hard I had to give up on it. I had it resting for a few months so it should have been okay. I won't judge a stick off of one experience, but I usually don't buy many maduro wrappers so I'm not sure I'll try it again. From the smoke I could draw, it tasted very smooth.

    Don't give up. I went through a flight sampler of them and by the end they have become one of my favorite sticks. The smoke is smooth and also very rich with lots of coffee.

    Interesting. Mine have always had a looser-than-normal draw. I haven't had any that were even slightly tight.

    Man I love the Nica Libre. btw... here's a secret... if you call in and beg your ccom rep, they might be able to hook you up with the daily deal price that pops up sometimes (about $2 a stick) if you ask really, really nicely!

    ... and don't say it too loud, worth twice the price. Big thumbs up there.

    I've had two Nice Libres now and wasn't really impressed with them. Not bad by any means, but I just didn't like it enough to add it to my rotation, even when factoring in the low price.

    well I just lit one up and so far (about a half inch on the start) it has a very good burn with a perfect draw. Well i'm about half way down and I've gotta say the flavor has been quite consistant. for a few puffs there i smoked a little fast and this is definately a cigar that if you want to get the best out of it you want to smoke it slow and the coffee hints are wonderful through the nose, the smoke is also very smooth. I'm really enjoying this and though I have a little while before this stick is ready to be laid down and left in the ashtray I can go ahead and say that I will be keeping a few of these in my humi and I also have the padron aniv. in my humi which has been compared to this cigar so I'm really looking forward to smoking it. the nica libre i'm finishing off was the torpedo, I normally tend to stick with torpedos and robustos. oh and also, this was my first post in the forums, so hey everyone. i might have to better introduce myself in a later forum when i get the chance.

    I smoked one of these for the first time last night and I really enjoyed it. Not the greatest thing ever, but certainly worth a permenant spot in my humi.

    Good flavor but much too loose and burned up quick has been my experience.

    Too Loose? The Box press Diplimaticos hold their squareness down to the last inch. At least the box that I've smoked. Can't report on any of the others, as I've only had a robusto and a torp and didn't care for them as much as the 7 X 50, its the next step up and a regular since I've found them. No burn issues and 30 days or so in the humi. regards...BSD
    I agree, my favorite size is the 7X50 as well.

    I have smoked some of these and they have a good flavor. I thought the stick was a little too soft/loosely rolled and burned quickly.

    Interesting. I've smoked a bunch of these in the Robusto and Toro sizes. They've all burned slow for me. I was enjoying a robusto the other day and smoked for over an hour - didn't make it to the last third. Heh, long smoking robusto.

    I smoked one of these just this morning. I agree totally, they do have a loose feel, easy draw and all of mine (so far) have been flawless in construction and very slow burners. Super tasty and really a bummer that everyone keeps comparing them to Padron instead of just enjoying them. Coffee is a perfect drink for these.

    I smoke the biggest size in roughly 30 minutes....either I smoke too fast or you smoke too slow!

    took me an hour and a half for the diplomatico and I enjoyed it as much as a padron anniversary

    These are currently one of my go-to smokes. I have never had burn or construction issues, and they always taste good to boot!
