Smooth but not complex.

Consistent & nearly duplicate review. Purchased in Madeira 15 months ago. A firm cigar with clean notes of baking spice, a touch of leather, and a hint of cinnamon. The draw was perfect, and the burn remained very even. Pleasant & easy smoking cigar.

Consistent & duplicate review. A firmly built cigar with clean notes of baking spice, a touch of leather, and a hint of cinnamon. The draw was quite acceptable, and the burn remained very even. Pleasant cigar overall.

A firmly built cigar with clean notes of baking spice, a touch of leather, and maybe a hint of cinnamon. The draw is a tad tight but acceptable. However, the burn is absolutely razor edge line. Smoked better than the average connecticut tends to.

Casa de Garcia - Connecticut The band is classy, but the cigar itself could look better. Wrapper looks kinda rough with visible seams, veins, and mottling. It’s not damaged, though, and cap withstood cutting. Not much scent from it. Cold draw is slightly restrictive, and has notes of cinnamon, graham cracker, faint coffee, and a touch of brown sugar. Sweet tobacco off the unlit foot. After lighting, notes of minerals and a good helping of cream. Buttered toast is the theme. Foot smoke is not offensive. Very mild pepper and baking spices on the retrohale. Reminds me of an Oliva Connecticut Reserve initially. The Oliva has just a bit more complexity and better appearance, but it’s 3-4 times the price. Hard draws don’t change the flavor. Ash is dark and flaky, but holds well. Burn isn’t razor sharp, but it never canoed. Light almond flavor in the first third. The second third brings out a caramel note and light green tea. More white pepper on the retrohale, and it starts to linger in the back of the throat. The graham cracker in the cold draw finally shows up halfway through. Altadis (Montecristo) uses long filler in these cigars and it shows nicely. Band was sticky and moderately hard to get off, even with heat, so be careful. Final third and the lack of aging shows up. Tobacco taste dominates and complexity disappears. Not bad, but I won’t smoke it down to the nub. Reach for the longer vitolas. Piney tar flavor arrives with 2 inches left. Draw lightly. Foot smoke gets slightly foul. Medium in flavor, mild in strength. Extremely versatile cigar that I would smoke on ANY occasion. One of the few budget cigars I would feel okay about lighting up in a cigar lounge, or throwing away halfway through. No qualms about buying a full bundle (20) of these. Easily my favorite budget Connecticut, and these will be a staple in my humidor.

Mine had an extremely tight draw. Almost blocked. I tried using my draw enhancing tool, I poked it a few times but it barely made a difference. Other than that, it was a nice light flavour.

Surprisingly good Connecticut budget stick. Burned better than most premium sticks I've had over the last few months; was actually able to smoke it down to a nub. Burn line got a bit wonky in 2nd third, but a quick touchup did the trick. Decent smoke output. Didn't turn bitter or tarry near the end. Also left no bad aftertaste. Rested in my humi for 4 months. Will definitely be buying more of these.

Flavor is lacking. Very mild pepper notes but was hoping for more.
