Anyone Heard or tried these?
Nica Libre 
Calling all Padron fans! 
Hand-crafted in Nicaragua 
Supposedly "An Excellent Alternative" to Padron.  Curious.
:-)
Thanks, All!

I know a few people that have tried them and they did like them and they did remind them of a Padron. I think its one of those cigars that is worth the money to buy a box and forget about it for awhile, then it will be a great smoke!

I've never smoked a Padron, so I can't compare them, but Nica Libres are a tasty smoke.

Never smoked one, but people keep telling me that they are a decent smoke, just don't expect them to taste like a Padron.

I have a box on the way. I'm not paying much attention to the Padron comparison, but the word on the street is they're pretty good. We shall see

I bought a box of the exclusivo off cbid and smoked one off the truck.  It was a little rough around the edges but all in all not a bad stick.  I wouldn't go comparing them to Padron's other than being a Nic puro.  It was a good inexpensive cigar that will get better with age that I would buy again in the future.  Just my $.02 though

I think they are a very good cigar for the price, taken on their own merits.  I've got a box squirreled away, and occasionally smoke some singles.
