Nica Libre 1990

This slightly rectangular shaped cigar is great to hold in hand and mouth. The novelty of its box-​pressed shape is nice, and the wrapper is silky too. It has a dark, oily look and a somewhat leathery feel.

It has a medium draw that seemed to get a bit slower as I smoked it. Towards the beginning it smoked very smoothly, but towards the end I had to keep relighting it and puffing it a few times to get it going again.

The burn is fantastic. It is slightly wavy but the ash burns straight and very white. The ash hangs around for about an inch before falling, and it gives no warning like leaning before falling, which can be precarious.

The taste and smell is faint, but you can really sense a sort of… “farm” thing going on. Like wet hay and animals. It isn’t bad. It sounds bad, I know, but it was somewhat pleasant, actually. It wasn’t very strong and I only got this sensation in whiffs.

It’s nice and cheap, and for the price I would judge it to be spectacular — a nice every day cigar.
