Nicaragua

By Patrick Semmens, Stogie Guys (July 4, 2009)

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar. - P.S.

I managed to procure this smoke, created by the Garcia Family, in celebration of Famous Smoke Shop’s 70th Anniversary at their Cigar Expo event. It features a slightly rustic habano rosado wrapper and a firm feel.

Starting with a singular taste of intense cedar, it progresses to a full-flavored profile where rich earth and pepper weave in and out. With excellent construction, the Famous 70th Anniversary Garcia Robusto is a good cigar now, but I get the feeling it could be better with some age.

Verdict = Buy.

I just smoked one of these "off the truck", and it was quite good overall. Full flavored, muscular, the spice of good aged tobacco. Having just about finished a box of Pepin's Vegas Cubanas I'd say that I prefer the 70th anniversary; it's a step up from an already good starting point - but I'd still take a regular Padron over both of them any day at regular prices.That said, it's good enough that I'm considering a box of the 70th anniversary Garcias over a regular box of Padrons while the Garcias are on sale, making them a little less expensive than the Padrons just this month. It could be a nice change, not too much of a leap but enough to keep them both interesting.

 

Very nice cigar!

This cigar was very nice! It was rich and flavorful right down to the nub. Perhaps "medium" in the strength department......this cigar delivered a complex range of flavors from pepper to mint to coffee and rich earth with a bit of woodiness. It does taste a bit different from other DPG blends and reminded me of the original Cabaiguan Guapos.

 

Disappointing

Not on par with other DPG cigars. Not bad, but nothing special either. Average at best.

Being a big fan DPG this cigar is truly a disappointment.. Bought a box and paired this cigar with many different libations and none could rescue my purchase. This cigar falls flat on taste and out of character of the DPG profile. To its credit the apprearance, construction and burn are good, but it still gets two thumbs down.

 

A truly enjoyable cigar.

Stopped at the Famous Smoke Shop over the 4th of July weekend while visiting relatives in Easton. Had just read The Stogie Guys review on this cigar and their visit to the shop for the anniversary. Following a wonderful shopping experience at the store I shared these cigars with my son and nephew poolside that evening. What a great cigar experience with good friends. I have two more aging in my humidor at home and plan to order more. I recommend them also. Thanks Stogie Guys and the wonderful people at Famous.
