Best Selling Cigars

The Brevas Royal Maduro is the best sub $4 cigar money can buy. Time after time this cigar delivers a flavorful smoke with notes of coffee, milk chocolate, and the occasional berry note. These cigars are unbeatable for the price. Read Less

Given the low, low, LOW price of these cigars, I was ready to be underwhelmed. I was wrong to be so quick to judge based upon price alone. I've paid three times as much, for far inferior smokes than this.

The initial (pre-smoking) impression is one of a roughly made piece. And certainly, these cigars win no prizes in the beauty stakes. 'Rough and ready' is a phrase which springs easily to mind. A vieny wrapper, dark and slightly mottled. Slightly uneven at the least, and not at all waxy or oily. But firmly packed with what look to be quality leaves, rather than the floor-sweepings one might expect at this price point. But despite the tight construction, the draw, once cut, is surprisingly easy.

An easy light gives way to a slow and even burn. The initial 'barnyard' aroma and taste is gone within a minute or two, thankfully. Then comes a flavour of amazingly deep complexity. Earthy and savoury, like roasted flat mushrooms, yet at the same time sweet and chocolatey. The vaguest hint of vanilla, and spice. Rich, creamy and mouth filling. The smoke billows thick, white and curly as Moses' beard. The firm ash is surprisingly light in colour, almost white.

As the cigar burns slowly through, it remains cool and firm, never stodgy, soft or gooey.

The flavour and aroma just keep on getting better. Richer. Deeper. And not a hint of bitterness.

If it weren't for the fact that I want to sample so many others, I'd place these babies on standing order, and smoke nothing else. Read Less

I've been on a small ring gauge kick and was looking forward to this one. Solid medium body and strength. Decent flavors with the leather really picking up at the end. Construction was good as well having a nice draw. Not a bad smoke, just for $10 there are better smokes out there even cheaper. Read Less

Not nearly as sweet as some cigars I've had, but obviously this hasn't been aged over a decade. Otherwise, I don't know a finer smoke at the price, not that I'll stop trying everything I can. I will probably pick up a whole box though when budget allows. This is by far my favorite of the curly heads, though all are a touch strong for me, so I'd recommend a sweeter beverage to go with these, or a robust meal beforehand. It's tough being curly haired.

Before I got into pipes I was a cigar guy. Now that I have a pipe as my main mode of enjoyment I still look for cigars to have on special occasions, camping or when I'm feeling a bit lazy about keeping my pipe lit. On a whim I picked up three of these sticks and I have to say I'm impressed. They are mild to medium in strength, have a great flavor with hints of oak, pepper, cedar and whiffs of sweetness now and again. The construction was great, burn was almost perfect and they won't break the bank. I've paid a lot more for worse cigars so don't let the price fool you. Read Less

I found this to be a fairly mild cigar in both flavor and strength. Great burn, great construction. A nice little sweetness like milk chocolate, and loads of tobacco and hay aroma. Would buy again. Read Less

I smoke predominantly Cuban cigars, and I'm branching out into new world stuff. I found this very enjoyable! Great flavours of spice, a little pepper, chocolate and coffee. Not overpowering but the nicotine strength is high. If you're like me and use 24mg snus all day it's fine. But if I feel nicotine off it, then non snus users will probably feel quite high by the end Read Less

Excellent presentation, dark oily and beautiful leaf, however, the construction has soft spots and arrived slightly damaged (thank you SP for reimbursement). Taste is unique and powerful: dark chocolate, coco, coffee with good amount of Indian spice. Cigar is not static and offers different layers of taste with interesting change and combination. Excellent cigar. Read Less

Started quite nice, with a decent amount of black pepper. That went away after few puffs. No sweetness at all for me, more like unsweetened filter coffee type of flavour. Then it became kind of grassy and bitter. That did not go away, and just passed the half way point, I stopped smoking it. I just couldn't finish it. Read Less
