I think I'm too grizzled on the original's inconsistent flavor and quality to go for the new one. I'm holding off for more feedback for a little while (not that I discredit the feedback so far).

Looking for a little more feedback on this stick. Little help please.

Marker is a fan of these and has smoked a few, PM him for a review.

Rudy, they are GREAT! I'm not a fan of the original, but I love the Potencia!

Thanks DB

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I was looking for some more input on these. I have a chance to grab some of these at $2.95/stick but can't decide if I want to pull the trigger.

OK, here's what I've come up with:
1. They're made by Oliva
2. They're rolled in exactly the same vitolas as the V
3. Same strength and flavor profile as the V
4. I've smoked the Double Robusto NLP and V side-by-side, and I can't tell the difference
5. I've smoked the Torps side-by-side and can't tell the difference

All that being said, maybe my palate isn't as refined as some, but IMO if you take the bands off, I would be willing to bet that 99% of the smokers out there could not differentiate between the NLP and the V.
Hope this helps!
And as far as walking the walk, I hit that deal next door for two today.

No worries. Some people like the regular Nica Libre, I don't care for it.
Some people (to include CA) like the A. Turrent Triple Play, but not me.
I love the Camacho Triple Maduro, but the "professionals" at CA saw it differently.
Different smokes for different folks
As long as you smoke cigars, you're OK with me.

idk man the V is a bit different than the nica. To my palate anyway.

(IMO) There are some similarities especially the aroma,but im pretty confident I could tell the difference
