94+ Rated Diamond Hands Mega-Sampler

Everything was fine with the Flatheads being my favorite and smoked the best. But the Montecristos kept were too difficult to smoke. But it’s a good buy overall and very enjoyable smoke sampler. I'm going to buy it again.

Half really good half average.

Let’s start off with the ones I had no issues with so far. Oliva O, Rocky P, and La Aroma. They were perfect from the way they were in the box to the way they smoked smooth, perfectly wrapped no issues with draw, and amazing flavor profile from each one of them. Can say anything bad about anyone of those cigars. Now for the CAO and the Montecristco for some reason they were both over humidified very soft almost like a sponge. I waited for a week so they can get to the right humidity before I can try to smoke them. 2 COA’s I have tried to smoke already and they both had draw issues, took out my draw rod tried to open is up and still had issues with it to a point where I cut one open to see what’s going on inside for it to cause this much trouble, it had stems as long as the entire cigar and not 1 but a few of them. I think I just got a bad batch of the CAO and Montecristos. I can knock them what ever smoke I was able to get out of them it was full of flavor. I will definitely be buying again and hopefully this time around I won’t have the same problems.

Nice

Hard to ask for a better sampler pack.

I’ve always been partial to Cuban cigars because that’s where I started smoking since 1992. But Cuban cigars are getting expensive even in Cuba. So first time I ordered on Cigars International last month…and man I can’t believe the quality of these cigars they truly rival the Cubans…As I write this review I’m ordering some more of these!!!!!

great variety of 94 or better rated cigars. ordered these to share with some buddies who like cigars. they were a hit. i will order these again and would recommend them.

All amazing cigars!! La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor is by far my favorite. The CAO close second. The Rocky Patel Decade is great but just not for me.

Enjoyed all the sticks. Should have ordered again before they raised the price. :)

everyone well worth it to buy.

As a sampler they were all in good condition and tasted great

excellent choice and a great smoke

This is one of my favorite samplers. There is a premium smoke for every mood/situation.

solid sampler with a good mix of cigar sizes. all well made an smoke great. flavor were good an they burned even. would recommend an would order again

Excellent bundle except for the Montecristo. I've had them before and they were good but this time all 5 were awful. Uneven burn on three and two tunneled half way in leaving tube of unburned tobacco 3 inches from the hot spot. Like a fuse was working its way to my mouth. Little smoke, lots of work trying to salvage them, pulling out stems, cutting them short to catch up to the burn. Threw all the Montecristos away. Bad batch, like I said I've enjoyed them before. The rest of the sampler was great, would order again but for the Montecristo.

Very nice selection. Well worth the purchase price.

Spectacular sampler! All are outstanding ( If you are into more full bodied cigars) and the price was right. All are quality instant humidor fillers. Thanks CI.

As an avid smoker, I enjoy the samplers of premium smokes offered by CI. It gives you the opportunity to excite your pallet with different flavors and nuances wherein you can virtually have mood cigars.

Fall harvest and this sampler are my favorite so far. Thanks for bringing this kind of offers to a new cigar smoker.

Every stick in this sampler is outstanding. Worth every penny!

All are great smokes.

Great assortment of cigars!

Awesome!!! This is the best!!!

I often enjoy firing up a fine smoke and this deal was not to be missed. I’m not a snob smoker, but when you offer up gems like these (94+) at that price, it was a no-brainer!!! Thanks for offering up quality smokes at great prices. If you’re ever on the fence about bang for your buck, dive in.

Excellent buy for quality cigars!

This is such a great deal, love all these smokes they all burn real smooth and even with a great draw and great flavor, will be ordering again soon probably the best deal in here hope it stays!!

Found some new favorites, particularly the Flathead 660 from CAO, a brand I don't usually go to, and the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amore piqued my interest, so I tried the standard in a Monarch, and it is my go-to now! All were good, but some were great!

I recently bought a few boxes of cigars, and although they were great, I kind of get sick of smoking the same cigar 25 times. I found this sampler in the catalog and figured I'd try it out because it was a decent selection of cigars, and you still get 25 like a box for a pretty good price; It actually kind of exceeded my expectations in that regard. The Flathead V660 is a very tasty, very strong, great Maduro, with a beautiful oily wrapper. It was probably my second favorite of the pack. The Montecristo platinum was probably my favorite, as it wasn't too strong and bitter, or too mild, I'd say it was a bit north of the middle in terms of profile/strength. It is very flavorful with a great smooth draw, and you get a lot of smoke while it burns evenly. It would be a good cigar to buy a box of, as they're very consistent and great every time. The La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor was pleasantly surprising. I hadn't tried anything from this brand before, and I was expecting it to be the worst of the pack, but it actually turned out to be my third, maybe even second favorite. They have a similar profile to the Montecristo Platinums, but they're a nice shorter boxed pressed cigar, which seems to draw even more smoke into your mouth. The Oliva Series O was smooth and had a decent draw, they all burned evenly, and they seem to be the mildest of the bunch. This cigar was probably my least favorite of the sampler, it was still a good cigar and worth smoking 5 of, but I just think the other cigars outshined the Series O a bit. I've had several Rocky Patels before, in fact my first cigar was a Rocky Patel American Market Select, but I was never really that impressed with them; The Rocky Patel Decades in this sampler definitely changed that. They have a beautiful dark oily wraper, and a smooth creamy draw. The flavor kind of reminded me of coffee and dark chocolate. Overall, every cigar in this pack is solid, and they're all different enough to keep you excited about smoking each cigar.

Great selection, great smokes, great value!

Many excellent sweet flavor and smooth smokes.

You guys really know how to do it. I’m a pretty staunch cigar enthusiast, and I have friends always suggesting other online dealers. I ALWAYS tell them, “I would never consider it.” I have never had a bad experience with CI in all the years I’ve been purchasing. Thanks for the solid service.

Every one I this deal is an excellent cigar

Some hits, some misses, but a great way to sample the good stuff. Loved the CAO Flatheads (already bought a box!) and the Montecristo Platinum. Enjoyed the Rocky Patel Decade. Less enthused about the Oliva Series O (Series V is ssoooo much better) or the Mi Amor Duque, but at least now I know what I like. The main reason I shop CI is for these opportunities ... try new things, and see what fits me.

Nice Mix worth the price

If it weren't for the substandard Monte Cristo...this would be 5 stars...still well worth the price !!

All great cigars. Great price!
