The Curivari Reserva Limitada Cafe Noir delivers a tasty mix of mocha, nuts, and salted caramel, with a touch of pepper on the retrohale. It’s a great smoke from a solid brand at a good price. I enjoyed it and look forward to trying more of their cigars!

Enjoyed it with my morning coffee and thought it was an outstanding smoke. Smooth and mild all the way through with enough flavor to keep things interesting. Notes of earth, leather, pepper, chocolate and espresso seem to come and go. The more Curivari products I try, the more I like the brand.

Purchased a box on a recommendation by someone who knows I like Padron 1964 anniversary maduro. While it is certainly not a Padron, it is a decent alternative to a pricey smoke that pairs well with coffee.

The title says it all. Chocolate coffe cream consistently all the way through. These are pretty consistent cigars but have had a few burn issues, but always enjoy these and have some on hand.

The Curivari Reserva Limitada Cafe Noir is a pleasure to smoke. The wrapper is smooth and oily, producing a cool and creamy smoke that coats the palate. The draw is effortless, allowing you to fully appreciate the complexity of flavors. Hints of cedar and cocoa add depth to the chocolate base. There’s a touch of sweetness too that balances the richness and keeps the smoke inviting.

Everything I’ve tried from Curivari has been stellar. This hit a lot of notes for me. Getting dark Chocolate, oak, leather. Really smokes wonderfully. Draw is excellent, nice smoke output, and great burn. I’m really impressed with this company as everything I’ve had from them has been delicious . The prices on these are incredible as well. I’d expect to pay $10-$13 for these and they are way less than that. Really glad Oxford has these to try! Keep them coming.

This is absolutely a Poor Man’s Padron. It is more on the mellow side of a Padron X000 Maduro series. Medium to full-bodied in construction. In the flavor notes, I got fudgy chocolate, spice, vanilla, nuts and earthiness. Box worthy!!!

This is a great cigar with a profile distinct from other Nicaraguan cigars. It is full-bodied but also very smooth. It burns evenly and slowly with a medium draw. This cigar gets better every time I have one, and I will definitely purchase a box again.
