“There's a reason that the Rothschild (robusto 5x50) maduro is sold out, besides being the least expensive 20 pack. I think they were the first to be offered in this line (along with the naturals), so there were some age on them to begin with. I let one sit in the humidor for a good period of time and one day, for whatever reason, just plucked it out. It was tasty, the burn and draw were perfect. I think word got around that they were a gem. So, I hope they bring them back, and are very careful that they are up to that standard. Ahoy matey, shiver me timbers. Whoee, good cigar! (P.S. Can't vouch for the other sizes/shapes.)”
“I picked up a box of the Semi Maduro's for cheap on Cbid. Just got done smoking my second one and I must say, this is a tasty treat. You can definitely taste the pepper toward the end of the stick. It's not so over-powering that you want to put it down, in fact it's just enough to keep you wanting more. The flavor doesn't change much throughout the entire cigar, nor does the strength. This is a medium strength cigar at best, so if you're looking for something to knock you off you're feet, this isn't it. It's just a great tasting smoke, especially for the price.”
“This cigar was everything I have come to expect from Rolando Reyes. The construction was excellent, the draw and burn were great and the tobacco was top notch. The price for all of these factors together, is really a gift from Mr. Reyes and CI, thanks to you both.”
“Some booty I actually don't mind kissing for a change (Pirates Gold Big Boys)! Tried the Piramide #3. Pleasant mild taste, good burn, loads of smoke and a great value! These may be my new daily stick for awhile. Gonna try the Maduro next. Great deal as always CI!”
“Just finished a box of the Gordo Maduros and I will admit that for the price, they were great smokes. I'll definitely be getting more.”
“This would have been a great smoke even if it weren't at this price. The price just makes it a mandatory buy. Smooth, even draw, plenty of smoke with quality flavors. I got a mild spice and a little woodsy taste (sorry for my adjectives, I'm a beer snob, haha). Definitely worth the price, I will probably pick up some more. I was smoking the torpedos.”
“Last year I was spending at least $4 a stick at my local tobacconist every weekend for a decent Saturday night stogie. This year I am enjoying the heck out of aging CI's awesome and affordable selections. This smoke is a good example, they are far and away superior to what I was paying that $4 a stick for last year.”
“Pirate's Gold has long been a favorite of mine. It is a great everyday cigar. I was sad to see them hit the clearance page.”
