Nica Rustica ??
good or not. I am not really a DE fan but I saw these got a 98 rating at famous - I am skeptical 98 is about as high I have seen any cigar rated there
I wonder how they have done in blind reviews which is the only reviews I trust

pretty good but a 98? not sure about that.
DE does some good stuff these days. But 98 good? Nah.

My Uncle that lives with us and me just finished a bundle. Yes, a cigar that costs 150.00 for 20 smokes comes in a bundle.
Good? HELL yeah. Probably one of the best new smokes I had in a long time. Perfect draw, PLENTY of rich, thick smoke. I ain't gonna tell you I taste nuts and cinnamon and dirty socks in the finish, because I cant taste that shit, I either like it or I don't. And I like them. NOW, my Uncle bought them, because he knows I wont spend that much on ANY cigar. My money, are they worth 150.00 a bundle? Nah. Are they worth getting a fiver to try? Sure, knock yourself out.

I likes em. Bundles of 25, 135$. I have yet to pay full price, I have found a few coupons, gift cards, the recent PICNIC code etc, etc, to pick up a decent supply.
Kind of like a cheap T-52

the ratings are based on only ten reviewers. You essentially had ten people rate them at pretty much 100. Nobody gave them even a remotely bad rating. That's a really worrisome fact when I read things like that. It says "fanboy."

I purchased a sampler that had 2 Nica Rusticas in it. The NC were ok. I would not go out and buy them again.
Buy a fiver and try them for yourself.

I think sometimes reviewers feel the pressure to like what they are reviewing...

Agreed. There is sometimes such internal pressure to grab a twelve pack of old milwaukee on the way out of the store because it's the beer that made milwaukee famous and it has to be awfully damned good.
