I keep seeing people mention the Nicaragua, Dominican and Brazilian Cream cigars. Are they really that good? At $40 for 25 I'm really tempted. Are they worth getting a box to put to sleep or are these pretty much ready to go from day one? I don't see any 5'ers or samplers for sale so opinions would be appreciated before I go buy a box or 5 of these.... Thanks!

Cheap yard gars. Bundled not boxed, Brazilian is the newest and less appreciated. Dominican got crossed off my list after a bundle of the sweet tip/dip was smoked a year or 2 ago. I had to rinse the sweetness off to even smoke them. Larger sizes have been soft and fast burning while torpedos mostly need to be drawpoked. Robustos are somewhat tight and do last better than the softer churchills and toros. No appreciable flavor in any of them - just cheap yard gars that mostly are smokeable enough not to toss.

So that's a big NO. Am I crazy or am I seeing people mentioning smoking them lately? It's why I asked to begin with....

I'm smoking them. Ran low on yard gars and bought a bunch of them to restock. There are worse cigars out there and I have smoked them in the past. Not much you can get under a buck a stick any more. Smoked a churchill Nic this morning and it was too tight and had to be drawpoked. Last one was soft They can be an adventure.

The NICARAGUAN CREAM is GARBAGE!!! Don't see why the others wouldn't follow suit!
