Nica Rustica Cigars by Drew Estate

I've smoked 'em all in about 40 years of cigars, and even though taste/satisfaction is very subjective, I find this my go-to stick time after time, for consistent. vibrant taste notes, smooth roll/burn, and very reasonable price. Smoke whatever you've got, but do yourself a favor and at least try a 5-pack of these beauties-I'm betting you're pleasantly surprised!

I'm rather torn in writing this review, because I want to sing the praises of this wonderful cigar...but not too loudly, or else the secret will get out! I've been purchasing the Nica Rustica line in different shapes and sizes for years now and I've never once had a bad one. Rule 1: Give me a good draw. The Belly has a perfect draw every time, no matter where I cut it. It is remarkably full bodied and rich, becoming spicy through the final third. The wrapper is attractive and very slightly rustic. Consistency and value are the two biggest words here. To be able to buy a premium cigar of this size, quality and consistency at this price is not something that I come across often, making this a truly hidden gem.

This is hands down the best priced ull bodied stick from Drew, maybe in general. Occasionally there is a run here and there but never any huge issues. Lots of power and flavor and bang for the buck

Ripping for the first puff. This is a fire cracker full or earthy spice and sweet cocoa hints on the finish. How's to show that a great stick doesn't need to coat an arm and a leg.

This petit Robusto wastes no time showing you what it's made of. Power, chocolate, hickory and cedar. Full speed until the last puff. Not for the faint of heart.

Beautiful construction, easy draw, even burn and great flavor! Medium/full stick. Great value!

I can’t believe no one has written a review about this stick yet. One of the first DE sticks I had. It is not a beginners cigar. A full figured cigar that will slap you in the face and tell you everything will be ok. Starts with tons of pepper and eases you into notes not of coffee and oak. The retrohale is a straight up throat punch.

The Brujito did just that and worked its magic on me. Intense dark chocolate and cedar straight through. Not a lot of flavor evolutions ...just one constant consistent Powerhouse

If you like these NicaRustics then this is a real deal. They are priced super affordable and this 50 box is even sweeter. Full-bodied and full flavored. Just goes to show you can produce a top quality Powerhouse without charging an arm and a leg.

Not sure why they named it belly but it really does punch you in the gut. Wasn't expecting all the power that came out of this and was quite delighted that that power stayed consistent all the way to the end. Great cigar when you have an hour plus to enjoy.
