This was by far my favorite new cigar from IPCPR this year and one of my favorites overall this year. This was so smooth and buttery and the flavors were always balanced and great. It had just the right amount of spice throughout. The flavor profile and aged tobacco flavors I found are usually unique to Cuban cigars. It was full flavored and complex with lots of transitions without being overly powerful. The price is a bit steep, but I will be buying a box of these, no question. I give this a personal score of 96 (Extraordinary).
JM’s Nicaraguans join the company’s existing “JM’s” brand value-priced cigars, which are available in four different wrappers ... Sumatra, Corojo, Connecticut and Maduro. JM’s Nicaraguan is offered in Sumatra and Maduro wrappers. Its name is derived from the all-Nicaraguan filler. The binder is a maduro-fermented Connecticut broadleaf. The medium-bodied Nicaraguan delivers a creamy-smooth smoke, with hints of nuts and chocolate.

·"More pepper showed up as it neared the end, bringing both strength and heat to the cigar. The oak flavor faded a bit, taking the cocoa with it as the coffee and leather flavors moved toward the front and provided a great finish to the cigar." -Ron (shuckins)
"This is one of the best cigars I've had in quite a while. Construction was top notch. The flavors were plentiful, and kept me interested. All in all, this is a winner that I would recommend to anyone who likes a good cigar. I can't wait to see what this is...I want more!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)
"This was a pretty good cigar overall...I think a little more rest would smooth out the harsh spots and make this a great cigar. I would be glad to own another, or even a fiver to let rest and revisit." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

·"The coffee turned to more of a green tea taste as it moves to the front,bringing a bit of allspice and fresh hay flavor with it. The cedar has a sweet taste,and the pepper remains constant,providing an enjoyable kick to the cigar at the very end." -Ron (shuckins)

·"Overall the cigar was a pleasant smoke. The initial and final thirds were not up to mark, but the middle third was excellent with several changes in flavors and with perfect burn and draw. I will definitely try this one again to see if some time in the humi might get rid of the harshness in the very final third of the cigar." -Sandeep (Djangos)
"Overall this was a pleasant cigar to smoke. I couldn't find anything flavor wise to make it outstanding but the construction, draw and burn have all been pretty much flawless. After it mellowed out from the beginning I am still getting some nice spice on the retrohale but overall it has been pretty mellow and nothing fantastic about the flavor. It did dry my mouth out a ton at the beginning, but due to its great construction and burn I was able to smoke it down to the nub. Depending on its price point I would have to think about getting more of these. It was a good smoke but nothing spectacular for me." -Wes (SosaCub4Life)
