Bad Tat, Nicks Sticks

[StocktonJohn]

Been looking forward to trying a Tat Tainos for a while. Finally bought one and it was a dud. Loose draw, no flavor. Expensive disappointment.

On a positive note I tried a Nicks Stick sun grown Churchill not expecting much and was really surprised at how good it was... Nice nutty flavor early on that transitioned to a spicy, earthy conclusion. Cheap and really good.

Funny how things turn out sometimes.

Sorry about your bad cigar experience, that's always annoying! I've actually never had a Tainos, but i'd recommend the Noella. It's much cheaper, and my favorite of the line (followed by the Unicos). Also the Victorias in the red label--more medium bodied, but full flavor!

I know that my local B&M can't keep them in stock they sell so well and they are priced well too!

These sticks need age on them..atleast a good couple years. Atleast that's when I get something out of them.

my brother smoked the rosado the other day and thought he was smoking
a Cuban!okemyeye

Some of these other manufacturers better watch out. Nick mean's business!
And he's making great product that anyone can afford. I heard a guy working
at a b&m say that we can't keep em in stock, but the margins are lower....

So that's probably the only catch 22...

Never had a bad Taino new or aged. I would try another.

Haven't had the Taino but agree on the Nick's Sticks. It's a good smoke and very affordable. Also check out the Cuban Bullet 2.0 from Perdomo - another affordable and tasty smoke.

Not sure what you're saying...

Perdomo has Nick's Sticks and they also have a Cuban Bullet 2.0, I think they both come with choice of two wrappers. They used to make a Cuban Bullet but discontinued it which is where the 2.0 comes in.

I've seen the perdomo "nick's stick"

Gotcha!

Perdomo makes good affordable sticks - But I too have never had a bad Taino.

 

[scottYDucati]

Sorry to hear. The Taino is what got me hooked on Tatuaje. They were great from back then and even better with some years on them.

 

[StocktonJohn]

I'll have to try another Taino. Must have got the 4:45 on Friday gar...

Was impressed with Nick's Sticks Connecticut (white wrapper) while I'm not a Perdomo fan this stick can't be beat for taste and value. Found them for $55 box on a google seach

Nicks Sticks suprised me, I met Nick at a Perdomo event a few weeks back and he said Nicks Sticks were actually his first cigar and the logo for them was his original logo for the company. Ive only had the CT so far and it reminded me quite a bit of the Champagne but a bit lighter in body and it seemed to burn a bit quicker. Im looking forward to trying the sungrown and maduro, Im a big fan of Perdomo cigars.

I think you gave me your cold. I got a cold Thursday and I'm still coughing. Dying for a nice cigar.

My father came across Nick's Stick at our local shop and bought it since it was only $4.00. He said it was great.
