I recently enjoyed the Curivari Socrates and was impressed by its well-balanced profile. The blend offered a medium-bodied smoke that was flavorful without being overpowering. The first puff hit me with notes of cedar and spice, but it mellowed out into a smooth and creamy smoke. Hints of coffee and chocolate added depth to the experience, keeping things interesting throughout. The burn was even and consistent, producing a cool and inviting draw.

This smoke reminded me a little of a Padron for fraction of the price. Lots of smoke like a Liga with creamy finish. Strong bold earth flavor which is not always my favorite but was blended well with this cigar. Amazing value and I ordered a 5 pack if everything available at Oxford so you can say I was sold on this sleeper line

This brand redefines budget cigars. Socrates has a dark chocolate wrapper which smells of barnyard and must.
I straight cut the soft box press and notice the draw is snug. Smoke output is satisfactory. Initial flavors are sweet tobacco, chalky chocolate, and malt. Light pepper on the finish which is greatly intensified with retrohales. The ash has a light grey color with contrasts nicely with the dark wrapper.
The flavor really begins to develop five minutes in. Sweet Mexican San Andreas tobacco with hot chocolate notes. Burn line is perfect despite the humidity out. The pepper on the retro has calmed down and I’m getting tons of mouth watering cocoa. This blend is more complex than the Cyclopes. Flavors are consistent and enjoyable. This isn’t the best MSA I’ve ever had but 5 stars are earned due to the price and experience.

Solid stick. Got classic coffee, leather and molasses from this. I like the other offerings from Curivari that provide a little more complex flavors. Construction was solid. Draw was a tad open but nothing annoying. Nice white ash. Price on this is real reasonable as oxford always has best prices on sticks!

Not the best cigar I’ve ever had, but worth every penny for the price.
