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.

    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.
  • Russ55Russ55 Posts: 2,765 ✭✭
    I keep waiting for them to pop up on the DD. Maybe soon.

    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!
  • Pacman84Pacman84 Posts: 2,821 ✭✭✭✭✭
    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-gypsyfla-gypsy Posts: 3,023 ✭✭
    Sounds like my kind of stick, looking for a good DD on them
  • gripnripgripnrip Posts: 502 ✭✭✭
    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..

    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.
  • bluezulubluezulu Posts: 136 ✭✭✭
    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"....

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

    I thought today's daily deal WAS the good deal on these :) 5 Potencia and 5 V, that's hard to beat!
  • skweekzskweekz Posts: 2,279 ✭✭✭
    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!

    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.
