Very solid little smoke! Between the Peruvita and this Nicarita, I prefer the creaminess and smoothness of the Peruvita a bit more
This tasty little smoke has a bit more grit and punch but still very enjoyable. They also burn longer than you’d think! I can easily get 35-45 min

Love these little cigars. Construction is amazing and the flavor of cocoa, nutty wood and subtle spice … nice! Enjoy being able to enjoy one of these in 20-25 mins and then smoke another later on in the evening versus smoking a refried nub.

Love the size of these, and the flavor they pack. Definitely worth a try especially if you are into learning about different types of tobaccos as it’s fillers are all Nicaraguan. They last longer than you’d think!

Like the Peruvita, the Nicarita is a dense little cigarillo (4×35) that produces a lot of flavor. The Nicarita seemed to have a bit darker character to it, with a base of dark chocolate and coffee whereas the Peruvita seemed lighter and a little sweeter. Perhaps it’s just me, but I had trouble keeping the Nicarita lit as it went out twice in contrast to the Peruvita which burned beautifully. A good little smoke if you don’t have a lot of time.

I really like petit Coronas as they always pack a lot of flavor in a short time period. There was tons of flavor with this. I got some dark cocoa nibs, coffee and subtle spice. This smoked so wonderfully. The draw was excellent. The burn was great as I never had to touch it up. Everything I’ve smoked from Casdagli is an absolute winner and this is no exception. This is such a great smoke at an incredible price point .

Much like the Peruvita, these Nicarita sticks were great! Both are great options when you’re looking for a quick smoke and not wanting to compromise on flavor but for my palette I enjoyed the Nicarita much more. Coffee and a hint of dark chocolate is what you’ll be met with when you light this one up.
