The Nica Rustica Adobe Cigars embody a bold personality straight from the heart of Estelí. If you had told me less than a decade ago that you could lay your hands on a top-notch Drew Estate cigar any day of the week for a mere $5-$6, I would have thought you were out of your mind. That's precisely why the original Nica Rustica was such a game-changer. It checked all the boxes: an appealing price point, premium tobacco selections, a rich and slow-burning experience, and even earned a solid 90-rating from Cigar Aficionado. Now, the Nica Rustica Adobe has stepped into the scene with the same winning formula. The good news is that this blend not only lives up to the expectations but also resonates with a wide audience.

In this iteration, the Nica Rustica Adobe starts its journey with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. This leaf contributes a nutty core complemented by subtle hints of dried fruit. Just beneath it lies the true star of the show: a robust long-filler blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos embraced by a daring Brazilian binder. Throughout most of the smoking experience, you'll encounter woody and toasty notes that define the flavor profile, followed by subtle hints of black pepper and freshly baked bread towards the finish. With a medium to full-bodied profile, it's a cigar that you can savor at any time of the day with ease. However, it's important to note that if you're seeking a cigar identical to the Nica Rustica, you won't find it here. But if you cherished what the original cigar brought to the table and crave something distinctive, your search ends with the Nica Rustica Adobe.
