Nica Rustica

Nica Rustica is a cigar made specifically with the hardcore cigar freak in mind. With a background inspired by the rich history of the natives of Esteli, Nicaragua, the Nica Rustica theme revolves around the motto "Con Orgullo," literally translated "With Pride." The tobacco-centered ancient medicinal rituals practiced by the Pre-Columbian Esteli witch doctor, also known as "El Brujito," or simply "Shaman," also inspired the name. Nica Rustica consists of a bold blend of Grade A Nicaraguan fillers from Esteli and Jalapa, a spicy San Andreas Negro binder, and a gorgeous, dark Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. Nica Rustica also comes in a unique display box with a removable lid, ready to hang on the wall as iron-clad proof that you are as serious of a cigar nut as it gets. According to Jonathan Drew, Nica Rustica is "blended to be rustic, un-polished, and un-refined, for hardcore tobacco lovers." Well, he pretty much hit the nail on the head here. The rat tail cap and unfinished foot add to the rustic, old-school theme of Nica Rustica. An easy draw produces dense clouds of white smoke, pounding the taste buds with one of the truest raw tobacco flavor profiles available on today's market. Notable blasts of cedar and earth radiate from the smoke, along with nuances of cocoa and coffee. The finish is heavy, but clean, slathering the nose with hearty Nicaraguan spice on the retrohale. Nica Rustica is indubitably a solid medium-full-bodied cigar with an immense dose of flavor. As is the case with other traditional, non-flavored offerings from Drew Estate, such as Liga Privada and Herrera Esteli, Nica Rustica is aimed at a more mature audience of cigar connoisseurs. Nica Rustica pays homage to the classic style of smokes the Cuban factory workers enjoyed many years ago. As a medium-full-bodied cigar, Nica Rustica pairs wonderfully with dark beer, dark rum, or even heavy red wine. Since its introduction, Nica Rustica has garnered many accolades and much highly esteemed recognition, including a 90 rating in Cigar Aficionado. For the hardcore cigar fanatic, Nica Rustica is a cigar that your humidor should never be without. Grab a box or bundle today and taste the unforgettable flavor of the good old days.
