The cigar I tried had some scuffs and discolored areas on the wrapper so may not be a good representative. All the reviews I have seen for this cigar have been great, but unfortunately that wasn’t my experience. Overall the profile was very woody and sour and it was unsmokable after the first half. Given all the good reviews this cigar has gotten, I plan to order another one and try it again.

Smooth, creamy, and cost effective. The old school cubanesque profile is present but not in an overbearing way on the palate. This is one heck of a value for anyone looking for an everyday Connecticut to smoke. Also, a great “surprise” brand blend to share with others, especially new or beginner cigar aficionados.

I’m always looking for a great deal on a great Connecticut cigar and I think I just found it. This was absolutely delicious. The wrapper on this wasn’t the prettiest Conny but it was mighty tasty! Get those grass, hay and slight white pepper. This does very much remind me of a lot of Cubans I’ve smoked… without the over inflated price tag. There is an inherent creaminess to the finish of this. The value on this is insane for what you’re getting. Love everything I’ve tried from Curivari…. Keep em coming!

These are a staple in my humidor for good reason. Spicy, creamy, cubanesque goodness! Never had a bad one, for the price they’re hard to pass up.
