The long awaited Ninfas are finally here.

The long awaited Ninfas are here 

 

The Punch Ninfas was one of my all time favourite cigars.  It was a 178mm (7 inch) x 33 ring gauge hand rolled masterpiece discontinued in 2002. My last cabinet of 50 has long gone and the project was conceived back in January of 2023 for Hamlet  and I to develop the ultimate Ninfas cigar.  We put the concept cigar into the hands of our Friends of Habanos tasting panel just after mid year.  It is fair to say that all were blown away but they can speak for themselves. 

Mid bodied and rich. There is a purveying raisin/fruity sweetness that melds well with other nuances of tart cooking chocolate, sourdough and just a touch of spice on the retrohale.  The cigar builds progressively but never loses it’s composure. The aroma is indeed something special and reflects the flavour profile. 

Only two sets of rollers/bunchers from our Fabrica 5 team are permitted to roll the Ninfas. They have been hand picked as the best of the best from our high performance Fabrica 5 unit. The construction quality reflects this.

 

 

The blend is 100% Honduran and includes a special leaf that has enthralled us but until now we were at a loss as to how best to use. We found the right cigar for it to shine. When I was doing the final blend tastings in Danli back in May of this year, all the Ninfas Hamlet blended were superb,  but this one was truly the standout.

 They will be available in the carts in the next few days. I will advise the forum when launched.

I'm curious to try these "needledick" cigars as Hamlet so lovingly has referred to in the past.  🤣

Lol love the nick name. These have been on my wishlist for awhile. Lonsdale and Churchill are the "perfect" size but these are so much more practical for an everyday cigar.

Curious to see if there's any comparison to a PLMC.

What is approximate smoking time with these at a conservative pace?

I have already looked for it but patience is not my strong point. 🙃😂🙃

[Vitty]

Excited for these!!

[cnov]

Really looking forward to these, though it means that my NC (Nudie) stash will have outgrown it's current residence!

Let us release all of the 13 cigar Nudie/MOFOH catalogue and we can look at a specialty humidor 

[superman0234]

Can't wait 😍

[PuroDiario]

Awesome.

[MrBirdman]

These are awesome! Rob and Hammy really captured a sense of Punch’s DNA with these, with some added fruitiness thrown in. I would add nuttiness to the flavor profile offered in Rob’s description. I was impressed by the complexity, which can’t be easy to achieve at this RG.

I’m on a self-imposed buying hiatus because I’m totally out of storage space, but I’m gonna expand to get at least a bundle, maybe even a halfwheel of these. If you like skinnies, these are practically a must try.

I guess it'll be another Lock N Seal until then.

Going along the lines of no frills, maybe a coolidor with trays specifically built to store a bundle of each itteration? That'd solve problems for me!

[Tradesman]

Will these be sold only in wheels of 50? Or will there be 25s as well

Either way, I'll buy whatever is being offered cause the whole Nudies line has just been amazing. 

But 25 to try before committing to 50 would be nice!

Sounds like you were a member of the tasting team. They certainly sound like a must try.

Those molds must be worth their weight in gold!

50's only for the immediate future. Economies of scale demand it at this point. Small package and price point for 50.  It was the sweet spot. 

[El Presidente]

Up tomorrow at 2424 time 

[Gamehawker]

So I bought a bundle of 50 today and I can't wait for them to arrive.

What humidity % should these cigars be stored and aged at Prez?

[El Presidente]

65 works for me

70 works for Hammy

.......try 65 but don't be afraid to experiment 

[SCgarman]

My order is in! Looking forward to trying these.
