Felipe Dominicana

“I ordered these based-on an e-mail ad from CI and I'm convinced I should just start going with CI's recommendations exclusively. These are great! Nice aroma, white ash, and can be smoked at a relaxed pace. I like a cigar that'll stay lit if it's put down for a few minutes. I was working on a backyard lighting project and lit one for the first time to try it. I liked it right out of the gate. At one point I realized it'd been almost ten minutes since my last draw and I expected to have to relight. I picked it up and it was still "idling" patiently. It was good all the way down, and in fact, I peeled the band off so I could get one more inch. Will definitely order again.”

“A very excellent mild to medium smoke with an outstanding flavor. One of the outstanding value cigars from the DR I've EVER tasted. I smoked the little bitty Robusto (4x48) from a few years ago, purchased from CI, and it was wonderful. Jump on these!”

“I picked up a bundle of these on a special offer and boy was it a "special offer". I mostly smoke medium and medium-full cigars and usually maduros, but occasionally need to go to the lighter side. I love this cigar. The draw was perfect, the burn was perfect, no construction issues at all. The only problem is that I only got one bundle. I shoud have bought a truck load.”

“I have been smoking cigars for 12 years but only full time within the last 8 months since that is when I discovered CI. I have tried numerous brands looking for a solid smoke that fits my palate and my wallet. I prefer mild to medium sticks though I absolutely love Montecristo White label as well as their classic. They are my special occasion smokes. I have smoked several of Gurkha's blends and like the Castle Hall but the last half is too strong for me (I still will buy more). I adore La Aurora 2nds but they just don't fit for an every day smoke (I have reordered them though). Then entered the Felipe Dominicana. Wow is this ever a sheep in wolfs clothes. The pre light smell and taste (I like to taste the cigar before smoking) is very flavorful, almost completely satisfying by itself. It leaves a wondeful hint of aged tobaco on the palate. The light is equally impressive with suttle hints of spice and pepper. The smoke itself is light but ample (difficult to explain so just buy them). The construction is spot on as well as the draw. The Robusto is a the perect size for a every day cigar and I will buy these til CI does not carry them anymore. Then if I must I will buy from other competitors. They are simply that good. I actually split a bundle of 20 with my father, needless to say he never got his half.......”

“This is a good cigar... nice thick creamy smoke... never overwhelming... decent burn throughout... smooth almost perfect draw... a little on the warm side near the last third but never bitter... smoked this one to the nub... will definitely recommend this one... and will be buying more... thanks CI...”
