mwaller Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Every once in a while, I wouldn't mind a cigar that tastes great *and* has a nice nicotine kick. The only stick that consistently meets this criteria for me is JL #2. Are there others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Presidente Posted February 6, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2017 For me: Juan Lopez Seleccion number 2 H.

JohnS Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Well, I think El Pres summed it up for me. The most recent marcas that gave me a good nicotine kick are the Ramon Allones Club Allones, Bolivar Belicosos Finos and Montecristo Petit Edmundo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallclub Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I can't believe no one cited the Partagas D4 . Ok, it used to be stronger in the past but it still belongs to the "strong" category, at least when it's fresh/young, and when it's "on" it's a damn good robusto… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigcars Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Well lemme recommend Ramon Allones (any one), Bolivar (again any size), Partagas 898 and the Partagas de Partagas No.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've never really considered Cuban cigars to be overtly strong or imbalanced in that way, but the first cigar which came to mind was the Bolivar PC. Not that I truly think it a "strong" cigar, but I do find it fairly intense with a tannic edge which leans in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Love cigars with tons of kick to them, as long as it is smooth flavour still, not bitter stuff. This happens like from before their time, too moist, or whatever. We know we are not Bolivar fans for this reason. Trinidad seems to be a bold one for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Montecristo Edmundo, Partagas Serie D No.4, Ramon Allones Specially Selected, Partagas Shorts...and to some extent Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwaller Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Interesting feedback, thanks! I am a Bolivar fan for sure, but I've never found the BBF or BPC to be particularly strong in nicotine. The one stick that I haven't tried that gets several mentions is RyJ Cazadores. Perhaps I need to give that a shot... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Three easier to find cigars I find with some kick are: Partagas Presidente Partagas Culebras Upmann Connoisseur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave001 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 RyJ Cazadores yup most of us are in agreement with this one, even after a few years it still packs a punch ive also had bolivar tubos #2 that after 10 years still packed a really peppery punch totally shocked me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbackFan Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Bolivar Royal Coronas and Coronas Junior both hit me pretty hard, in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeedubbya Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 JL 2, BBF and young PLPC as El Prez said. Some of these dark wrappers Siglo 1s have been little ass kickers. RASCC like backbone said RASS RACA Fresh D4 Only 2 cigars I've had to put down due to nicotine in last 5 years--Fresh RASCC and a bitter nasty skinny little fresh Opus X.

Funny you should mention Opus X... I just had a "Fuente Fuente" vitola and found it to be quite strong. The flavor was so different from the CC's I'm used to... it almost seemed like a flavored stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxavier1979 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I haven't had a truly full strength CC yet and I'm not sure if this post was intended to be limited to CCs, but I do have a few suggestions from the NC front. At least that fit the full strength while maintaining good and complex flavor profile. I personally don't enjoy the nicotine kick at the end of a stronger cigars but I do enjoy some full flavored cigars and they tend to go hand in hand sometimes unfortunately. I own quite a bit of the cigars below but I stash them away for 8-12 months to try to take the edge off. Out of all of these cigars, I find the Ashton ESG is the one that smokes like a Med - Med/Full cigar and the strength at the end does not match the flavor profile of the cigar so it tends to sneak up on me. Foundation - The Tabernacle in Toro. OMG, such great flavors but def has some strength in the final third, at least these days as they were just released last fall. A lot of the Roma Craft CroMagnon line. Ashton ESG, great flavors but no matter what I do to prepare, they always turn me upside down in the last 3rd. I've heard a few years of age helps to smooth that out. Mi Querida Ancho Largo - Love this one. Great flavors with a bit of strength at the end if you don't pace yourself. I find the Corona isn't as bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foursite12 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If by strong you mean high nico loading, RyJ Cazzie, Juan Lopez (1 and 2). All of those require attention to avoid getting your ass kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
