I bought this smoke in a 4 sampler pack. I only had 1 of them. Smoked it last night, it was very good!

Have any of you had one of these? Was this Great single, a fluke? I'd like some feed back. I'm considering 5-pack. Below is the description.

Beautiful new cigar from Nick's Cigar Company, makers of Perdomo Reserve, La Tradicion, and Perdomo 2. Dark rosado wrapper, Nicaraguan filler and box-pressed to perfection in the Cuban style. Rich, satisfying and full in taste. The Especial is 5.75"x44 with an oily and delicious dark wrapper.
Category: 5-PACKS
Cigar Size: 5.7" x 44 ring

They've been around for awhile now (the CI description u posted is old)...I've had a few and I think (IMHO) the quality is poor, the taste is very one-dimensional, lacking any development...A basic straightforward smoke that I personally don't care for
Typical Perdomo smoke with an uneven burn

It's definitely perdomo and definitely nicaraguan. I agree with Keith that they are not complex, but I like them as an everyday cheap smoke.

I like Perdomo, but I found this cigar very one dimensional and rather bland. That cigar is about 2 years old now!!!!

I agree with Rook for a change. I found them bitter, bland and had burn problems. Not the worst "budget" smokes out there, but I've found better for the same $.

I had a box and found them to be pretty nice! I didnt have any wrapper or burn problems at all and the flavor was pretty decent. I give them a thumbs up for being a really nice "everyday". Maybe I just got a better box than all of u guys or my tolerance for pain is higher, hehe, who knows.....

Thanks Guys.
I think I'm going to pass on them for now. I appreciate the feedback! Such mixed comments, I think they may not be very consistant. Thanks
