CI Knock-Offs - Compare to Macanudo

“I have been smoking and enjoying cigars all my life. (60yrs0ld)ugh!! Anyhow, these CI Macundo knock-offs are one of the best cigars I have ever had the pleasure of smoking. I have been thru several bundles of the churchills, and have yet to find a "stinker". All are top quality construction with great draw and great flavor and very consistent. I say better than the brand cigars! If you enjoy a mild cigar, with plenty of flavor, this is one of the best cigars I have ever had the pleasure of smoking.”

“I received the CI Knock-offs, and immediately put them in the humidor. Finally- a cigar that tastes like a Macanudo!!! I was a little disappointed after a day in the humidor. I'm hoping they'll age and marry. Not bad for the everyday cigar. Reminds me of the Magellans that I bought through CI, and they are aging very well. My wife even takes an occassional Magellan on our walks with the dogs.”

“truly a great cigar (CI Knock-Offs - Compare to Macanudo),burns even,tastes good,perfect draw.needs one thing,a cigar band. thank you thank you”

“I love Macanudo and I cannot tell the difference between them and the (CI Knock-Offs - Compare to Macanudo) Knock-offs. Money is tight around so the knock offs are the way to go .Same great taste and a great price!!”

“"Knock-offs"? (CI Knock-Offs-Compare to Macanudo) Smokes more like the real thing to me. Every once in a while you actually get your money's worth and more. This would be one of those rare occasions. As I write this, I see most of the Macanudo Knock-off's are back-ordered. That's not a surprise. I just wish C.I. would knock-off La Aurora Perferidos and Fonseca Serie Fs.”

“Great cigars, very comparable to Macanudo (Macanudo Knockoffs). Will be keeping these in my normal rotation with my Private Stocks and 5-Vegas! Great job guys!!”

“In my humble opinion the CI Knock-off and 5-Vegas Gold are some of the best tasting cigars on the market. For the last few orders I have filled my humidor with the CI Knock-offs. The taste is great! Good job on blending the tobacco.”

“I received my first shipment of CI Knock-Offs - Macanudo and I'm impressed. It is a good cigar and an exceptional value. It's a good smoke from start to finish. I recommend these to anyone who wants a good, everyday smoke for little money.”

“JUST RECIEVED THESE MAC KNOCKOFFS YESTERDAY AND I WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH THE TASTE AND SMOOTHNESS. TAKE THE WRAPPER OFF ANY GENUINE MAC AND ITS DIFFICULT TO TELL. CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE AND VALUE.”

“The Macanudo CI Knock-off is a great cigar. Burns even, no issues with the draw and it is a tasty mild cigar. I recommend these to anyone who smokes macs. Thank You CI for a great cigar. JW”

“My first review wasn't posted, maybe I was a little to harsh with my words. From my experience with the CI Knock Offs Macanudo. If a long stay in the humidor doesn't fix them, then they are of no value. None of the first 4 I smoked would come close to even, and the tobacco feels like mush between your fingers. Spend a little more and purchase the Davidoff Corazones $57.00 dollars, or Indian Tabac Reserve.”

“At first, the cigars were a little bland. After a week or so in the humidor, they improved a bunch. Can't get enough of these. I'm gonna order another box of these pretty soon, along with a box of the mistakes.”

“Had my first Macanudo Knock-Off last night. The draw was a little tight but the flavor & burn more than made up for it. The overall quality of the smoke for the cost of the pack is a great deal by any standards.”

“When I first got these I was pretty disappointed. The color is a hue of green, they aren't even the same length as the Hyde Park, and they are very loosely rolled. But despite all of that after a few month in the humidor they taste great. Great being relative. They taste great for cheap cigars. They will never be as good as the real thing BUT they are enjoyable and you can smoke half and throw it out without feeling like you just threw away $10. I'll be buying more as soon as I make my way threw these.”

“I purchased a bundle while searching for a daily smoke that's easy on the wallet. I have to say these hit the spot. Macanudos they are not, but these sticks are reminiscent. Mild, low resistance on the draw, and a good flavor. Burn is a little jagged, but I haven't had re-light issue from my entire first bundle. After spending time in the humidor they've gotten even better. Will definitely purchase again.”
