Outside of Cuba, Nicaragua may be the most famous cigar tobacco-growing region in the world. Heck, for cigar lovers in America, Nicaragua might be the most famous and beloved region, period! And that’s saying a lot.
No matter where you fall, these 5-packs of Nicaraguan cigars are a great way to get in on some of the best smoke you can get anywhere.
The nation has an excellent climate for cigar tobacco growing (quite similar to that of Cuba itself), and nutrient-rich soil that gives Nicaraguan tobacco its signature sweetness and unique spice. Top-rated cigars feature tobacco grown in Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa (and increasingly, Ometepe). These leaves deliver an intense flavor many refer to as the “Nic Kick.” This is a nice peppery note that has been described with the full rainbow of colors: black, red, and white. This frontal pepper note gives way to the intriguing and thoroughly satisfying character of Nicaraguan tobacco filler blends in each cigar, complete with the taste of cedar and a hard-to-grasp a hint of (sometimes citrusy) sweetness on the finish that keeps things interesting.
Our Nicaraguan cigar 5-packs are made by companies with reputations that precede them. Some of the best-selling lines from Oliva, one of the oldest cigarmaking families around, use primarily Nicaraguan leaf. Other cigars in this category that might be well worth a try include certain sticks from Drew Estate, Perdomo, Davidoff, and other top brands. It’s really too many for us to get into in one spot, but you’ll find My Father, AJ Fernandez, Padrón, Plasencia, Tatuaje… what can we say except for we’ve got a Nicaraguan cigar 5 pack for just about everyone who browses this site.
They come in every kind of variety. Just because the tobacco for the cigar is primarily grown in Nicaragua doesn’t mean that it’s one-dimensional. Instead, you can find a five-pack of tasty milds that gives you just enough tobacco flavor to perk you up. You’ll also find some of the most intense and interesting cigars on the market, with enough strength to keep you in your chair for a good hour while you puff away and take a vacation in your own backyard. A Nicaraguan cigar 5 pack can give you pretty much whatever you need. You just have to snag the right blend (use our filters to suit your preferences).
These cigar 5 packs make fantastic gifts. If you know a cigar lover and you want to surprise him or her with a great birthday present (or present for any occasion, really), these cigars fit the bill. There’s almost no smoker alive who doesn’t enjoy the best blends from My Father or Padrón, so it’s about as close to guaranteed success as you can get without having to know their favorite brand of the moment. These Nicaraguan cigar 5 packs contain one award-winning cigar after the other, with ratings that are well above 90 in many cases.
What can we say? These smokes are as good as it gets.
Nicaraguan cigar makers have been making bomb smokes for years, but the way things are continuing to develop, we tend to think they’re just getting started.
