I love this cigar! Not a T52 but very good in it’s own right. And at a much friendlier price and accessibility, I believe it is a must try!

Sounds good Tom. I hope to find the time to stop by Ed’s place in the very near future and pick one up. Thanks for the information.

I like these, too. I taste sweet cedar and cocoa. Reminds me of a milder version of the My Father Le Bijou. Aren’t these made in Nicaraua at the My Father factory?

I’m thinking the first three-fourths of this cigar is a JdeN Clasico in disguise. Your description of the smoke–”dry yet creamy” and “crisp and dry at the same time”–along with the wrapper’s appearance, makes me think so. I had a bad experience with the Clasico but do enjoy the Antano and Celebracion. Thanks for the review.

Comment on Thunder by Nimish by Dennis J. O'Boyle

Just smoked a half of the THUNDER by Nimish; obtained a five-pack from Thompson Cigars.

Very strong smoke, within two or three minutes I was feeling the effects of the nicotine-induced haze.

Good flavor; detected some of the coffee and spice essence, excellent.

The draw is smooth and easy, very easy, in fact. Some might think it is too easy and that the Thunder stick burns too rapidly. I did notice that it burns evenly too, something I like to do is see how long the ash can get before dropping off.

The BEST cigar I ever had was supplied by a guy named Skip Shapiro out of Melrose Park, Illinois. Skip said that his wife’s family had been growing tobacco and rolling cigars for about 200 years — now I can’t find Skip anywhere, but wish I could order some more of those great cigars.

The THUNDER by Nimish is an awesome smoke, very strong and definitely a POWREHOUSE in terms of its strength and effect.

I highly recommend it.
