Box-Pressed maduro goodness!
Hand-crafted in Nicaragua, Nica Libre is a veritable candy bar. This blend showcases an aged combination of Nicaraguan long-fillers secured within a Habano binder, inside dark and oily, positively resplendent San Andres maduro wrapper. A classic maduro experience: rich, hearty, and silky smooth. Deep notes of coffee and earth smack the palate in balanced fashion, leaving behind a bold, somewhat peppery aftertaste that lingers long on the palate. A hint of dark chocolate is present during the slow burn, completing an eventful and enjoyable medium-bodied cigar. One of the finest values in a Nicaraguan handmade maduro that you'll find on the market today.
Love this cigar!!! I usually buy sampler packages but had to start buying this one by the box!!!!

May 14, 2018
I do not think this cigar warrants the hype. After having tried the 25th anniversary I expected this would be just as good. I did not think this cigar managed to capture the value Padron market it attempts to emulate.

Always a Great Time
Mar 04, 2018
One of the Best Inexpensive cigars on the market!
Taste is always nice and nutty at the start, with a great silky smooth lip smacking finish that is slightly earthy, elusive nuances of leather and dark chocolate. Construction is great and burn is great, only flaw which I wouldn’t even consider it but for the sake of the review is that maybe 1 or 2 sticks would burn slightly uneven, other than that it’s perfect! I give it 4 out of 5 only because there must always be room given for improvement. Buy it, store it up in the humi but better yet don’t buy it all so that I can take most of it.

My New Favorite Cigar
Jan 10, 2018
I have tried several different cigars over the years, ranging from inexpensive every day smokes to expensive special occasion smokes. These cigars are exceptional for the price. Love a cigar you can smoke right down to the tip. Very consistent throughout the smoke, and very tasty. Always mild to medium, but with a great taste. As they say, like smoking a chocolate bar.
Enjoy!

I do think that the Nica Libre is a great value. But let’s set value aside and just judge this cigar on its smoking merits. It’s smooth and tasty. Burns great, and it’s a beautiful stick. Is it a Padron, no. But I’ll buy more of this great valued cigar.

Nice for an inexpensive smoke
Oct 11, 2017
When you smoke an inexpensive cigar you sometimes get bitterness or uneven burn or any number of other problems but you don't get that with this stick. The flavor is not highly memorable but it burns well, is nice to look at and doesn't make your mouth taste bitter. This would be a great smoke for playing golf, sharing with your friends who are new to smoking or mowing the lawn. I smoke them while I work at home on the computer (yeah, my wife loves the smell of a good cigar). I'll order these again.

Sep 25, 2017
Not Bad for a flat stick. This was a freebie with my recent order and I didn't know they would be box press cigars. I'm not a big fan of box press hence the 4 star rating I gave but with that said I have to say the smokes burned well and for a full body cigar they were pretty smooth. Possible I will by Nica Libre next time I order but it will have to be a Robusto, my favorite type of cigar.

As you light this cigar it shows promise, but about the time you expect the good flavor to kick in it becomes almost un-smokable. I've tried this cigar on four different occasions with the same result. I could only handle half of the last cigar. I'm going to let it sit in the humidor and see if it gets any better.

Big Box pressed fan
Sep 03, 2017
Big Nica fan wanted this size as a dog walker. Not as good as other sizes. Had a hard draw and a little harsher taste. I'd likely stick with robusto or larger, bot not the double.

My Everyday smoke.
Aug 19, 2017
I've smoked NicaLibre for years and have really enjoyed them. But recently there have been construction issues. It seems they have two different people rolling the Toros. Because some burn perfectly but other burn lopsided and draw much harder. Otherwise I love these smokes.

My Favorite Smoke!
May 27, 2017
One of my favorites. Burns straight and delivers flavor and a really thick, cool smoke. I grab them whenever there's a deal to be had. I have some Gurkhas and Rocky Patels in the humidor right now, and I keep coming back to the Nica Libre's.
I smoke them and drink strong coffee while fishing, and I love that they are so well constructed that they don't flake or tunnel or require any relighting. I have never had a bad one.

What Happened?
Apr 05, 2017
I've been buying these for about 4 years and there has been a vast departure in flavor since my earlier purchases. It became really noticeable about a year and a half ago. At one time these were my favorite everyday cigar. The taste was as described. Now, they' no longer have that good oily wrapper, and the flavor is for the most part not even close to the former product. I have kept buying them in hopes of finding them back to the level cigar they used to be. Think I'm going to stop trying. Very disappointing.

Lots of flavor for the money.
Jan 19, 2017
I'm not always a fan of box-pressed cigars but I do enjoy these. These taste great, lots of flavor--especially in the retrohale. They can at times burn somewhat unevenly but it isn't much of an issue. At this price for the flavor they deliver it's a solid cigar.

Nica Libre ....... Great Cigars
Dec 12, 2016
My Son introduced me to Nica Libre about 5 years ago and have been buying them since. Great cigars, very tasty with coffee and assorted beverages. Has a spicy chocolate flavor to me. I look for them every time free shipping is available. Thank you C.I. for your customer service. Have tried other companies but you seem to have your act together. L.C. from Arizona

Dec 07, 2016
I really enjoy the Nica Libre. I purchased the Churchill size, I use a straight cut and get a open smooth draw every time. Almost always get a nice straight burn, and the box press shape makes holding onto them in these colder months that much more easy.

Good Value, good smoke
Dec 06, 2016
On a friend's recommendation, I bought a 5 pack of Nica Libre robustos and a 5 pack of churchills. The cigars in both packs were well made. drew well, and had a characteristic Nicaraguan flavor. I thought they were a very good every day cigar. I will buy more

These are pretty darn good, lots of flavor, a bit more than just medium-bodied and well-constructed. I'm not entirely in love with the box-pressing, but I can live with it. I'll be buying these again.

I hate nothing more than a cigar with a cap that comes off while smoking it. My first box was wonderful. My second box the roller must have had a bad day. Caps on most of the box came off ruining a good smoke. I will not be ordering this again!

While I would not label this as a Padron killer, it does stand well enough on its own. Bold pepper flavor and sensation to start with that calms down into a great medium body/flavor cigar. Nice hints of chocolate and expressor. I'd buy them again.

Jul 09, 2016
Really enjoy these. Got four of the sampler 5 packs (one of each size) on CBID for $33...you do the math. Won a couple other bids and for $6 and change shipping, these were a steal. At my door in 2 days. CI & CBID rock! Not a big box pressed guy but these are a worthy smoke for the price, great for the golf course.

Apr 08, 2016
Wow i was not expecting this cigar to be this good. got this in a bundle and left it last since i never heard of it before. it lit perfect first inch was easy going with alot of smoke and good chocolate over tones and a ton of smoke, then i started to get a little pepper on the retrohale. closer to the middle the pepper was getting more intense but not over bearing at all as the maduro kept it sweet then all the flavors kicked in coffee chocolate and a good spicy flavor as i finished it. i only had to relite it once because i was playing bocce and let it sit for awhile. but all in all this was more cigar than i thought. i will buy more.

Mar 19, 2016
Nica Libre is an attractive cigar with a bevy of chocolate-like flavors that you might expect from a cigar this dark. The draw is stellar, the construction is fine, and they are surprisingly easy to smoke very quickly. Money well spent. Are there better cigars out there? Sure. For the money? Now that's a wrapper of a different color.

Thsi is a GOOD cigar! NOT a Padron by any means. Wish it wear less expensive,
Sep 22, 2015
This is a nice cigar. Many people feel that this is similar to a Padron. I don't agree. Padron is one of my favorite cigars and a Padron is far better than a Nica Libre. That being said, I think that Nica Libre is a very nice medium strength cigar with a nice flavor. When I rate anything, I factor price into the mix. So, I give this cigar a 3 star rating, which means GOOD! I would have given it 4 stars if the price were lower.

Aug 28, 2015
Though I am not a big fan of box pressed cigars, these came at the right price via the Daily Deal. Very nicely constructed with a Goldilocks draw. The Maduro/Habano combination of wrapper and binder makes for a unique flavor that for me was very enjoyable. An above average smoke for the price paid.

An amazing budget AJ stick!
Aug 17, 2015
Smoked one of these yesterday that had a tight draw. It was not producing smoke and had trouble staying lit. Rather than give up I used my cutter to lop off about an inch of length from the foot, mentally scolding the bonchero from afar. Afteward, BAM, exactly as the great AJ Fernandez intended! Thick billowing smoke. Notes of coffee, mocha, and superbly aged and cured tobacco. Absolutely stellar. The remainder of the truncated stick was 100% top shelf, to the degree that the minor surgery was totally forgiven. A masterwork of tobacco blending and aging. Anything AJ produces is worth your time and money, making this stick an excellent choice if looking for a flavorful budget AJ Fernandez cigar. Buy them! Removed 1 star due to the construction.

Best Cigar for the Money Period.
Jul 05, 2015
My wife and I love to have a Dirty Martini and a Cigar at night. Of all the cigars we have smoked, the Nica Libre Corona is our favorite. It is mild, easy draw and great taste.
Customer Testimonials
Nice looking cigar. Very light with a too-easy draw, with tons of creamy smoke. Cocoa and a bit of leather flavors. Seemed to smoke a bit fast, but overall very enjoyable. Mild to Medium, no real harshness and a pleasant taste on your palate afterwards. Yumm!
HF of Parkton, MD
One of the best cigars I got in the Brown Bag sampler. Going to buy a box of 20 ASAP. Good flavor, and well worth your money. I give it a 9.5 out of 10....
EM of La Puente, CA
Ok, a cigar snob I am not, but this stick(1900 box pressed) is as close to a Padron as I have experienced in my 45 years of smoking every cigar under the sun. It may not be crammed and as dense as a Padron, but it also doesn't cost nearly as much either. I shall dub it (A Working Man's Padron) and that is good enough for the vets I hang with. Buy it, try it and enjoy it or shut up and move on!! OOOOOORAH...
BH of Woodstock, GA
As an addendum to my previous review, this stick had me jogging to the tool shed to retrieve my needlenose pliers so I could enjoy every last puff of what could be described as a crescendo of flavor that I haven't had in a value smoke in a long time.
BH of Woodstock, GA
Half the fun of cigar smoking is trying out different brands. So once I ordered 2 sampler packs of various brands. As I tried each sample pack, my goal was to keep the band of the one(s) I really enjoyed. After the samplers disappeared, I was left with 2 bands from the 2 packs. They were both Nica Libre's. I never had the pleasure of a Padron, perhaps one day I will treat myself, but in the meanwhile, I will stick with these. Never caught them in a retail store, but that is OK, too. Only one thing better than an inexpensive cigar, is one that is a good inexpensive cigar. This one fits that bill.
RM of Cleveland, OH
Love these cigars. The box press style gives a conversation starting look and they are just great smokes.
AF of lafayette, IN
I just smoked one of these I received in a sampler, though mine had a torpedo end to it. I picked out of the humidor not knowing what to expect and not expecting much as it was a something to puff on while working on a garage project. I was surprised by the good flavor right off the bat. I'm no expert, but I'd say a little like coffee and cocoa. The burn was even and the draw was good, maybe just a little tight. It might have been my fault for paying too much attention to my project and not enough to the stick, to the cigars credit, it stayed lit for some long periods of inactivity, but in the latter half the draw grew tighter and smoke less plentiful. Given the other positive reviews and how surprising the first half was, I'd definitely pick these up again and devote a little more attention to it the second time around.
CL of Reno, NV
I laughed out loud as I read the review from DW of Tunkhannock, Pa. His clever, if not too subtle suggestion of all the hyperbole surrounding most accounts we read on these pages, has a ring of truth. I too am leery & truth be told, very guilty of gushing forth high praise, reinforced with descriptive language & impossibly high rating numbers. In my defense, if I don't care for a certain blend, I rarely use the review method to torpedo it for all to see. After all, others may like it a lot or just have a very different palate than my own. Rather, I seek to inform those fullheads, who like me, enjoy a good full bodied vitola at a Joe 6-Pack price. When I find that blend, I tend to sing it out to the high heavens. Nica Libre certainly fits that description. It comes from the mind of THE Master Blender, IMHO. It's darn good & unbelievably, it's doggone inexpensive! $2.50 IS most reasonable in this day & age, for a dynamite box pressed corona of this pedigree, that delivers in a big, big way. Even the massive Gordo is a mere $4.50/stick. If AJ hadn't already made Diesel & its incomparable Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper an everyday affordable delight to the senses, Nica Libre would be my favorite maduro. I'm a big sucker for Mexican tobacco & adore the San Andres Maduro skirt NL proudly wears. Marrying that to a Habano binder reeks of genius. Fill 'er up with Nicaraguan ligero long fillers & what do you get? A damn good maduro stogie that could easily command twice the asking price. It's no wonder I & many others go off like bottle rockets, when we attempt to hammer out the sheer glee we feel, on our PCs, over the virtues of such a cigar. All rhetoric aside, Nica Libre deserves, no it demands your attention. Dally forth & try a fiver. See if you don't at least, partially agree.
BB of LOVELAND, OH
I got a box of the Churchills and I'm having a hard time finishing them. They just don't have good taste. They burn hot and uneven. Not a virtual candy bar as described!....Very disappointing!!
LW of Sylmar, CA
Just got some figurados. Nica Libre is generally a good smoke and this was no exception. Well made, good draw and nice white ash. The taste was pretty good. I give this smoke two thumbs up.
ML of Pinson, AL
I just tried one which I received in a sampler. I must say I was slightly disappointed. The cigar itself wasn't bad as the flavor was slightly stronger than medium in my opinion but still enjoyable. The disappointment came in that I was hoping for more hints of coffee flavoring and perhaps a lighter medium flavored cigar as advertised. And perhaps, this was just a bit of shock as it's still in the a.m. and I lit one up during the morning walk of my canine buddy. While I haven't tried the Padron other gents are talking about, I think I'll at least stick to the Tabaks I have in my humi.
WR of Godfrey, IL
How many brands of cigars are out there ? A bazillion? I find it hard to believe half the hype and claims made about cigars on C.I, or other retailers, or youtube or wherever. So it was with a fair amount of indifference that I bought a 5ive pack of these so-called Nica Libres based entirely on the weekend special price and the 'medium strength meter' in the online description. Holy Jayzus, how lucky I am to have stumbled on these. ( Insert the last two reviews of BB from Loveland here). I let these rest for a few days before lighting one up and sat out on the porch on this cold December day with my dog and a dram of bourbon. A thoroughly enjoyable smoke. The mailman then arrived and handed me the latest 'catalog' from C.I. with an even better deal for Nica Libre on the back cover! Kismet...
DW of Tunkhannock, PA
If you ever wanted to see what it would be like to smoke a T-bone steak, well this is it. Incredible!
CF of McAlester, OK
Got ten of these Toro size guys on a Joe's Daily Deal-Free Shipping thing on an e-mail awhile back. The six I've smoked so far have been really tasty, almost flawless burn line, stunningly good draw and the sharp box-press design is unique and likeable. Have never been overly keen on the cigar shapes out of the 'norm' like the Box Press -- Salomon -- or Triangular Torano's but I find these to be just dandy!
VT of BLUE SPRINGS, MO
Stop trying to make this a $15 cigar. It is in fact, a great every day cigar for those who enjoy the Nicaraguan style. This a must have as an everyday value cigar.
DO of Orland Park, IL
I adore good, inexpensive cigars. There aren't that many around. But I have found several that are a regular part of my rotation. Nica Libre is one of them & stands as the best sub $3.00 medium bodied maduro, in my estimation. It's consistent, loaded with flavor & rivals sticks costing twice as much or more. This proud blend from the genius of AJ Fernandez joins Sancho Panza, the Connecticut mild bodied winner, the incomparable Diesel, the full bodied maduro champ, Estd. 1844, another medium maduro & Diesel Hair of the Dog as the full bodied Habano topper. Abel certainly has left his mark on this short list of affordable, delicious vitolas. Try Nica Libre & all the above mentioned blends & see why I consider them all to be treasures in the world of good stogies.
BB of LOVELAND, OH
I am new to cigars and have only tried a few maduros, I have to say this one is my favorite. Someone compared it to a candy bar, and I have to agree. Really does seem chocolaty and creamy, but also a hint of coffee. Got one in a sample pack and loved it. The next week ordered a 5 pack. Hoping a box of these show up for my birthday or maybe under the xmas tree.

GA of MOUNT BETHEL, PA
A fantastic stick to smoke at a great price. Has a nice pepper taste to it. Highly recommend to all.
DN of Hollywood, FL
Nice cigar. I had my first one this evening with a beer and I smoked it to the nub. I like the taste and also the billowing smoke with each puff. Good taste. I will buy some more as soon as I have room in my 3 humidors. Overall, you can't really compare it to an expensive Padron, but hey - it's a good "fix" and got the job done. I have no complaints.
DT of LOS ANGELES, CA
Great consistent smoke! I enjoyed this baby while fishing in Canada and I must say it was one of the best smokes I have had in a while. The draw and taste was great throughout and the only reason I stopped smoking it was due to smoking it all the way down to my fingers. It never got hot, the burn was even and it was delight to enjoy!
KJ of Cudahy, WI
Taste was o.k. but they burned unevenly.

Let me start out by saying that I love Padron cigars. Having said that, the Nica Libre is my favorite Maduro and also my go to cigar. The thick creamy smoke and the effortless draw and complex flavors and of course price is why I choose this fine cigar!

I'm a Padron fan also and, I feel, the Nica Libre does offer some of the flavors of the Padron 1964. The updated product look doesn't matter to me because the blend is the same. Consistent, flavorful and easy on the wallet.

many times when I are researching a cigar to possibly buy, I look to see if BB of Loveland, OH has reviewed it. He and I have very similiar taste in cigars, and I have found his reviews to be very useful. Now let me say that these Nica Libres are a very good cigar at any price, but when I can get them cheap, it's a fantastic value. On a previous order, at the end I had a chance to buy a ten pack of the Toro size for only 17.50. lI had smoked a few of these in sampler packs and really liked them, and now love them at only 1.75 apiece in the Toro size. I love box pressed versions of cigars, and everything about this cigar is top shelf. I just came inside from spending an enjoyable hour with one of these Toro sized Nica Libre. I would have ordered more of them on my latest order, but I simply don't have room in my humidors right now, maybe next month. These are cigars I really want to keep in my personal stock. It's medium bodied in my opinion with plenty of flavor. I am not one to be able to pick out all the little aspects of a cigar, I just know what I like when I put the lighter to the cigar. Thank you CI for having this great cigar at a fantastic price. I will definitely be buying more of them.

It pains me to see the rhetoric about Padron vs Nica Libre rearing its ugly head so soon. There will be much fan mail forthcoming, mostly total praise for AJ Fernandez's master stroke of genius. But some will play the Padron card, as we have already seen. I'm a big Padron fan myself, yet logic dictates that when faced with a choice of buying one excellent Padron cigar or Five delicious Nica Libres, .....well, you know which I choose. Now, on to the business at hand, praising Nica Libre for the tremendous pedigree & unprecedented value this blend represents. For two bones & change, you can lay hands on the finest Box Pressed Maduro Robusto available this side of Padron. Loaded with medium bodied flavor & the distinct smoothness AJ Fernandez blends are famous for. Tastes of cocoa, caramel, anise & expresso boldly flow from the luxurious billows of smoke Nica Libre emits. Complex, bold, yet civilized. Construction is very good, consistent, yielding a 40 minute experience. It is true that these are not overstuffed, but don't mistake that for slipshod workmanship. It is part of the plan & it works perfectly. All things considered, my favorite Maduro cigar. Highly recommended & highly rated. 92/100

The new packaging looks nice, although a bit reserved for a cigar that is anything but ordinary! At the end of the day, you will be buying this cigar because it is truly an amazing cigar regardless of price. I'm on my second box and I'm so impressed with the overall quality of this cigar! The draw, burn and flavor are "world class"! I believe this is one of the best cigars in the world, regardless of price! As a cigar smoker for over 20 years, I find this cigar a treat every time I light one up. Hints of coco and nuts coat the pallet; billows of smoke enhance the flavor and overall experience of this virtual candy bar! After my first box, I found myself craving more. Do not hesitate buying these...they are tasty treats that deliver on every level.

I'm a Padron Fan, These AREN"T for me! Light in the hand, soft and spongy, they burn hot and fast. Flavor is minimal. this might be an acceptable $1 cigar, but save your money for a better deal.
