nica libre potencia whooweee

bluezulu

I received the added potencias with my nica libre order. Damn I like a full bodied stick. Heck I can handle a double maduro cao but the potencia knock me on my butt. I can't handlem.

Damn, I've been wanting to try those along with the Cuba Libre One and the Pvnisher.

Donate them to me....... seriously though, they are pretty strong huh

What's a double maduro cao? The MX2? I didn't know that was considered a strong cigar, came off as medium to me. Been curious about the Potencia though, hope to see it on a DD and snag a fiver.

Andy was giving me the low-down on this during my last order and it sounded pretty damn tasty so I bit on a single.

I've got it in my 2nd humidor for aging but I'm not sure it'll last long come spring. Zulu, had yours been sleeping for a bit or was it OTT?

agree on both counts

Fired up the first stick maybe the second day I got it from ccom. It is a unique cigar. It is night and day comparing it to the regular nica libre. I have given sticks to vets who cough after the first draw. It settles down after that but wow...it is strong and earthy.

ive been thinking about this stick for a bit now. I love the regular Nica, and have been waiting for feedback on this new one.

I keep waiting for them to pop up on the DD. Maybe soon.

When they do, want to go halfsies on 10 to get the free ship?

Yeah, that sounds great.

Man I really need to try these. Might have to order a 5 pack and see what they are about.

Interesting...I'm always looking for that next good, strong cigar.

I just smoked my first Potencia. What a fantastic stick. Definitely full-bodied, but not overwhelming. I smoked the double toro and was worried I'd be green by the end, but I felt fine. A good buzz the end, but that was it. The stick has just a ton of great, deep, complexity, and it continues to get smoother and tastier as it goes. By the end, I was retrohaling 90% of the smoke. Outstanding.

I had one of these on Monday and it is a great smoke! It was everything I hoped the original would be. Full bodied and flavored. Loved it!

Pacman84

I agree it's a good smoke. I still have one more sitting in the humi. I would really like to see a DD on these soon.

fla-gypsy

Sounds like my kind of stick, looking for a good DD on them

If you want some at a good deal (IMO) right now, take a look at the Freedom Sampler-includes 4 of the Potencia. $40 for 16 sticks..

SmokySuit

The guy at the ci store said he guaranteed that on a blind taste test you would be able to tell the difference between these and the oliva V.

bluezulu

They have a sample pack for the daily special for ccom. Yall's pallets are gonna explode. Don't try to retro hale these.

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).

I have a cigar that my local shop owner rolled and I'm scared to smoke it. It's a 6x60 monster, and he calls it "The Wolfman"....

I thought today's daily deal WAS the good deal on these 5 Potencia and 5 V, that's hard to beat!

skweekz

I'm actually in the minority here, but I really didn't care for the original. Now the Potencia, on the other hand, I absolutely loved. My last order inlcuded a box of them. I can't wait to see what some age does for these.

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

anyone that wants them and not those v's on the dd, ill trade something for the 5 v's.

Agreed. Always willing to trade for some V. I do thoroughly enjoy the Nica Potentia torps but I have many on hand currently. I also enjoy the V in the torp and the 6x60.
