“True that these are cheap smokes and not that bad. But I found the cigar to be spongy in touch and I don't know where the cognac was infused into..........but there was hardly any hint of cognac in the cigar. They can't compete against the more expensive infused cigars, but yet again for the price....... it is a good hand-out cigar for your friends. Question, what to do with all the great glass tubes????”
“Bought a 30 pack. Came in 2 types of protective packaging, but unfortunately 1 tube in the middle of the bundle was crushed almost to dust. I had to pitch the tube and cigar. Other than that these smell fantastic!”
“I got 20 for a try. they are soft as someone mentioned, but had a nice construction and burned straight. the ones i received have a distinct cognac taste. Not a huge fan of flavored cigars, but once in a while its a change. You will definitely need a different humidor to keep them in away from your other cigars.”
“Great smoke for a 2 buc cigar”
“Gave this cigar a try and must admit it suprised me. Nice smooth and mellow and the cognac is not over powering, got these just to try but I will keep these in my rotation they are well worth it”
“Great smoke, tried them when my sister was insisting on getting her something for her bday as a little hint. I prefer a smoke that is more full flavored but this is one that is nice for relaxation, back roading, or the golf course. No bad after tastes like some smokes will give, and when in large groups you will not believe the number of comments that we have received.”
“These are an amazing cigar for the buck. Great flavors through the cognac infusion. Will definitely keep these in my humidor. These cigars deliver more than I expected for the price!”
“I purchased 25 of these cigars (El Duque Cognac). i am enjoying them. They have a great tast and are not bitter. over all a great cigar thus far.”
“Got a case, in the mail they are good flavor to start and finish, in the middle, not as much, but I can't complain...for the price it's a good cigar...the only thing you need to be careful of, is when you get to about 1" left on it...watch that the wrapper and binder don't peel off and leave you...after that it's 50/50 whether you'll get to finish it, or have to toss out the innerds and light up another...it hasn't happened with all of them, but about half of the ones I've smoked so far...but the amount of smoke is a lot per puff and the flavor is good for an inexpensive cigar.”
“oh and I forgot...you can find neat uses for the glass tubes after you're done with them...a buddy of mine is making some glass guitar slides out of a couple of them”
“I love these cigars (El Duque Cognac) and I buy them whenever they are available. I prefer a mild taste which these have for me. I have been through at least a couple hundred of these and I hope they become available soon.”
