Casa de Garcia

How do you give a buck-fifty cigar a top flight rating? You just do. I've never been one to take into account the cost of a cigar when reviewing it. Sure, it's not as tight as a Sancho Panza Double Maduro box-pressed. So what. Few cigars can match that stick for under $10 bucks. In the pure enjoyment of a great cigar to smoke category, these Casa de Garcia's do They have a classic cigar hand-rolled look, taste and burn. One of the first things I do when trying out a new cigar is open one up and consider the leaf. My impression from the aroma and composition of the leaf in the 2 bundles I've received (my first go with these) is that they are of a very high quality. On par in fact with far more expensive smokes. Does it rate a 90. No, but then again maybe. It's darn close. I've smoked 90's not this good and smoked cigar's of the year not this enjoyable.

Some are hard to draw from

Excellent aromatic flovor, very slow burn.

Amazing! Great smoke for the buck! Montecristo can't go wrong

Great cigars for the money. If you're throwing a party and want a nice but reasonably priced cigar this is the way to go!

Tasty!!

Great cigar! Have purchased these little guys many times previously, and have been happy each time.

Great every day cigar. Smooth taste and easy on the wallet.

Berst buy for my money

Not great but good the smooth sumatran has very even flavor note of the everymans cigar. Earthy and silky it gives great flavor throughout. This is outshined by a butal wrapper job and inconsistent draw. This while tasty was the one that would canoe regularly.

Good cigar for the price

Very helpful.

I tried this brand and I found it quite smooth but it burned quickly for my taste

It’s a good tasting cigar for the price.

Great price for a pk of 20. Still resting in my humidor but I had one over the past weekend. Smooth, even burn, coming along nicely. Always have and will be a big fan of these.

Some of the Casa de Garcia Maduro's are rolled too tight. and the draw is difficult. Usually at least one in ten. But the price is great The rest are fine. A good cigar to smoke when doing yard work, golfing, or taking a long walk.

They were ok

Very nice smoke so don"t raise the price

perfect

I really like this smoke. It is smooth and well made.

OK for the price.

A CHEAP FILLER CIGAR, A COUPLE WENT BAD, .., IT HAPPENS ,I'M NOT MAD..JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

Good every day cigar

Good smoke for the price. Some were wrapped a bit too tight but no worries.. just pinch tool the stick between your fingers and that loosens up the tobacco leaves which improves the draw. Taste is good. No nausea. Well made and even burn, no canoeing.

great mild cigar that is priced right

Excellent cigar for the cost. burned great (no canoeing).

great cheap but decent cigar...occasionally a stick is a tough draw but at this price, who can complain.

The best source for my cigars.

Consistently well made and has a good flavor.

Nice "breakfast" cigar IMO. Mild-medium strength edging closer to the mild side of the scale. Some minor construction issues, grey flakey ash, but nicely rolled otherwise. Nice flavor but not a complex cigar. I'd buy another box.

Mild and tasty at a reasonable price

Good smoke, not great.

This is a nice cigar to enjoy daily. Golfing, mowing, working. Smooth, good draw, even burn plus a great value. Always some in my humidors.

Nice every day smoke

Katie is great but your weekend phone is horrible the garcias are great

Uneven roll. Some to tight to smoke.

Excellent cigar burned evenly throughout its entirety.

Decent smoke. Inconsistent.

Price was right and did not take long to get to my home, bought the Connecticut last time and this time tried the Maduro, like them better

dry and very hard to. to smoke

If tobacco grew as trees then every twig, limb and trunk have been rolled into these cigars. Lost count on how many have been thrown away because they were un- smokable.

Okay flavor but having trouble with about every other one not burning well.

Not consistent. Hard draw, easy draw. Flavor changes from cigar to cigar. I won't reorder.

Love them, been smoking them for years. Mild

Tastes good for the price. Burns and draws nice.

Anyone can by a expensive and enjoy it, the secret is finding a good deal and still enjoy it ! Great smoke great price cant go wrong.

Great every day cigar, good price

My favorite morning cigar

these casa Garcia cigars are hard and they are hard to light and keep lit

They where OK. But I think I won't order them again

Good cheap filler cigar

Mild yet flavorful...perfect for the golf course at this price point!

I usually buy the Casa de Garcia Nicaragua (blue label) but I gave these brown label Maduros a try. They smoke well (no canoeing, easy draw, well humidified) and the taste is good for the price. Simply, I noticed a bit of nausea sometimes when smoking them (food in the stomach helps with cigars btw). I do like Casa de Garcia a lot as they're a really good smoke for the price, so long as they're well humidified of course (true with any cigar).

Great mild cigar u can smoke it all the way to the tip

Eh, tried the churchill maduro. The flavor isn't bad. But, many are tight as a drum, even after running a poker through. So, might be worth a gamble, based on the price. Might recommend a bigger gauge and see. A couple came in cracked. The wrapper was on par w/ the price, not too good looking.

They are an inexpensive yet great tasting smoke. You can't do d better for the money.

Great smoke and very good value!

Always looking for a cheaper everyday smoke and this could be it. Flavor a little on the weak side but draw and burn has been fairly consistent. I will try the Maduro stick next.

Smooth and light comparable to a much more expensive cigar!

Very smooth and burn consistant

Really miss the 6x60 size.

Very good!

A spicy flavor,

Good for the price

Great cigar, paid for expadited shipping, still took a wee to get!

A good every day smoke!

Good cigars for the price.

Thank you again cigar international for another great buy.

These are my everyday and round of golf cigars . Smooth easy burn and the price is right .

Nice cheap everyday smoke. Don’t expect a perfect stick with this price point. Will buy more

Great flavor for an inexpensive cigar. My only complaint is that 2 to 3 cigars per bundle must be thrown out; they are either rolled so tightly draw is impossible or so loose it's like drawing through a drinking straw.

I have enjoyed the mellowness of the cigar and how well it smokes.

1st 3 that I fired up, wouldn't draw. Nearly passed out trying to get them to light and couldn't keep them lit. Not sure I'll bother with the rest

Great golf cigar!

Not too good

They are fine

Nice smooth smoke

I like a mild cigar that burns well and this cigar meets those requirements- Love this cigar great for a round of golf

These cigars have a great flavor, burn evenly and are a great value for the price.

Great value

My favorite every day stick, currently the best and consistent value available. The price is reflected in the roll and cosmetics, but not in a prohibitive way. Otherwise it smokes like an "ooooooo look at meeeee" costing stick.

Not bad.

The burn and consistency weren’t an isssue at all, but the flavor was just meh..

Let them sit in Humidor for 3-4 weeks and tried one today. What a disappointment ! No draw --used the draw poker all the way and still every other puff had to open it up again. Half way through it became way harsh and I gave up!!! never order again Rj in Portland

If you get bad ones, tough to draw. The good ones, however, draw great and are great for golf.

Good smoke from Monte

Hard to draw

Purchased as a 'Project cigar' because of the price-but with excellent flavor, consistency and construction, quickly fit into my "Rotation for meditation"!

Cigars were somewhat dry. Very tightly rolled with an uncomfortable draw.

Good for everyday smoke at a good price.

Smooth but several knotty, had to use a poker to smoke.

Tasty but too tight to smoke.

Enjoyable, and the cost per cigar is enjoyable as well

Very good got the price. Wrappedwell

I've bought several bundles of this Casa de Garcia Sumatra over the last few years. They are very well rolled, flavorful cigars. They are very inexpensive. I highly recommend them.

CI has once again proven that they can deliver superb cigars at a great price,I always do my purchases with CI,the delivery is even better,sometimes free of delivery,u can never go wrong with CI,enjoy your cigars,I do

Good for the cost

Nice flavor but a tough draw

SMOOTH GREAT SMOKE. CHEAP SMOKES LIKE A $5 TO $6 CIGAR BUT FOR $2.25

Pretty average, little loosely rolled

If you are look at these and expecting an amazing cigar you are out of your mind. However, this is a good every day smoke. I usually smoke these when i'm doing yard work. I don't mind if I let them go out and then just ditch them in the yard. They have good flavor but do tend to burn unevenly. They will require touching up with a lighter from time to time. These are my go to smokes when i dont' have a lot of time or when i'm preoccupied with something like yard work, working on vehicles, or woodworking.

Nice mild cigar.

Very good inexpensive every cigar, great for the golf course.

Very good buy

Very good and a nicely priced cigar for cutting grass and golfing

For everyday cigars you can’t beat these cigars. Perfect for golf, a after dinner walk or lounging in the yard. Long burning and usually an even burn.

Wrapper came loose on many sticks. Packed inconsistently.

Very flavorful and smooth

These are simply superb. I have been a Casa de Garcia fan since they came out; that is, I should mention I have always been a huge Montecristo fan since I had my first one at the age of 14 and would smoke them daily if I was rich. I also find myself a big fan of most of Altadis company offerings -- it's not so much that I love the company, I just notice that about everything they make, I like! It was my understanding that Casa de Garcia is made to fulfill several different "rolls" in their company: First, they train new torcedores (and also experienced ones moving up the ladder) by letting them practice rolling premium tobacco blends (Montecristo, Don Diego, H. Uppman, Romeo y Julieta, etc.) and if they're not perfect , they become a Casa de Garcia... Second, they will gather up all the extra tobaccos from their premium lines (or perhaps selected ones that start life as a super-premium leaf but don't 'make the cut' ) and when not busy ,the top-shelf torcedores will roll these up into Casa de Garcia. I have been smoking their Connecticut-wrapped Dominicans for a few years now - they're basically unaged Montecristos (nearly identical to Don Diego) and they taste great but often have rolling issues resulting in some burn problems. Still great smoke for the money but not perfect. However, the Sumatra I tried on a whim are AMAZING. They are like a Romeo y Julieta combined with a Partagas (another favorite) and they're smoking like a $10 smoke. Really, could not be happier. Will stock up because you never know when the blend will change, the rollers will change , the price will $$$ up. But here and now, they're the real deal steal son!

excellent smoke

Good price but very poor draw on 50% of the cigars. You will have to make a whole through the cigar to fix the problem, good taste though. As always good delivery from ci.

Only negative is the draw on most of the bundle is difficult. Otherwise, for the price not a bad choice. If the draw were better I'd give it 4 stars.

Does not burn evenly

These affordable cigars have a real good flavor. Except for a hard draw on a couple of them for the price it’s a good everyday cigar.

And cigar international has the best price I found by far!!

These are very good cigars, especially for the price. I've had an occasional one that's had a poor draw and needed a poke with the long cigar needle. Other than that, no problems. Great flavor.

Mild cigar with good flavor. Long smoke.

These cigars are ok for the price as an every day smoke

Loose ash Did burn ok

Great smoke for the price.

A little hard to draw.

Good draw, pleasant aroma, stays lit.

I have smoked a lot of maduro, hands down this really is a good smoke. Medium mild, good flavor and a good burn. All this at a great price.

Just OK

I find this cigar to be as advertised. Mild to medium bodied. Fairly easy to keep lit. I will occasionally get one that doesn't draw properly because it's wrapped too tight. Otherwise a good smoke for the money.

most of them were very hard with a tough draw.... one the few that were of decent quality, the flavor was nice.

Great flavor but a little too mild for my taste.

very good product, very good price

Disappointing. Every one of these cigars has had a serious wrapper burn problem. They have all burned unevenly on one side, sometimes in two spots. It's an enjoyable smoke, but just doesn't burn very well.

Very mellow smoke that can be enjoyed while playing golf or sipping Scotch afterwards.

Great smell and taste, my wife like very much.

Good quality cigar. Had some cigars with a flaw. would only burn down one side of cigar.

I have purchased this cigar several times and not. A fan. The cigar draws to hard.

Bought these because my favs were on back order. A good, inexpensive cigar for the golf course or for working around the house.

Very good for the price

good taste and mild. a mello cigar

Nice suu

I love these! Best all around non premium.

Nice for the price

Smooth smoo

That perfect stick for the drive home...

great daily value stick

Cant beat this smoke for the price.

A great cigar for a smoke anytime of the day! Almost always a smooth smoke for a low price! Consistent taste not too strong and not boring.

A lit of creamy smoke, mild to medium strenght. So far out of 6, I had one that was almost impossible to draw. I had to pitch that one. Cigar burns evenly. I would purchase again.

Smooth smoke

The cigars were wound to tight. I bend the draw poker rod trying to open them up. I wasn't happy

Nothing fancy but really good flavor. Good for when you can’t enjoy a two hour relaxing smoke.

The cigars have good flavor but 1/3 of them don't draw due to being packed too tight. Too much work to keep lit and very uneven burn. Won't get them again.

I like it. Found I like the maduro better.

This is a mild everyday smoke and at a great price

Tried before, went back again

Not bad, but had an uneven draw.

I have purchased these cigars many times over the years from CI and always found them to be a good inexpensive smoke. Unfortunately the last two purchases the quality has declined. Now most of the cigars in a pack of twenty have had very poor draws. I have had to work way to hard to smoke them.

I tried these from two suppliers, All were the same. Very hard draw, unpleasant to smoke. They were not dry. They seem to be roller too tight. Wont buy again. Didn't enjoy them at all.

Cest la vie is a great smoke at a very reasonable price!!

Nice cigar with a mild taste. I have noticed that several were very tightly packed and did not draw well. Since I only smoke outside and while I am doing project around the farm, it is a great smoke!

Nice light flavor. Great smoke for the price.

For a low priced cigar I thought it was pleasantly flavored and mild smoke. I only wish that the construction of the cigars were more consistant. I found some of the ones I bought to have been rolled so tight that they were impossible to enjoy. thumbs up on the budget price and the flavor but not so much on the quality of the construction.

Good taste. So far only one out of 5 was plugged. Will follow up as I smoke more.

I generally like these cigars but my last batch had many cigars I couldn't even light. As hard as I drew on the cigars I couldn't get any smoke.

Good quality, low cost everyday cigars

Best of the Casa de Garcia brand.

Mild flavor, consistent quality

These are my everyday cigar. Consistent, well made. Doesn't cost and arm and a leg.

Great everyday cigar I keep returning to purchase. Premium taste on a budget.

Good everyday smoke that won't break the bank. Mild cigar but there is not any offensive tastes that I have notices with most of the cheaper cigars. If you are looking for a budget friendly stick, give this one a shot.

Did not smoke evenly

One had a bad draw, otherwise enjoyable.

These are not consistent, I have smoked about 10 out of the 20 pack bundle I ordered and only about 4 have smoked and burned with out issue. The rest had huge burning issues OR would not draw correctly/ at all. Spent most of my smoke time trying to roll it and open up a decent draw hole. Oh and out of the 10 I have smoked only 2 have actually tasted good. I had initially got these from my B&M and they were pretty ok and was going to make them my daily routine smoke. And yes, they did sit in humidor for a bit to allow resting from the delivery and to get them acquainted with the new environment.

A very nice cigar for a special price. Not dried out, Timely shipping/

You can't beat Casa de Garcia for the price!!!

The toros that I got were veiny and ugly. The robustos were much more pleasing to the eye. The toros were harder to draw also. If I buy this brand again, it will be the robusto size

Pretty much as advertised. 3.5 stars

Good everyday cigar,however some were rolled to tight making them almost impossible to smoke. Good flavor though.

Very good for the golf course. Always a great draw except the bundle I got two times ago about five of the twenty were hard to draw. Other than that I have bought them many times and never had a problem.

Although I have enjoyed Casa's in the past the last several orders have all been the same, draws hard. They taste and burn ok but the draw, excuse the pun, sucks. It would be ok if it was only a couple per bundle but it's not, half or more of every bundle seems to draw poorly. It's a shame I like these cigars.

A good everyday smoke that doesn't break the bank. My only conplaint is that the wrapper color and flavor profile vary from one stick to the next slightly, but still a tasty smoke!

I bought the Belicoso because the Churchill was out of stock. They taste much the same. A nice mellow flavor. Price is not bad.

Quality for the cost

This cigar is all I buy now. After trying a bunch of others. Not to strong and not to mild.

Nice burning mellow cigar. Has a nice cream flavor.

This is my daily smoke. Smooth for the price and cigarsinternational is so quick with their delivery, it is super easy to time the reorder.

Very good service

I have bought Casa de Garcia a few times now and all I can say is inconsistent. They can either be the best cigar for the money or below average at best.

a good medium bodied smoke that won't break the bank

great daily smoke. good price point!!

great everyday smoke for the price

A REAL value & an excellent mild / medium smoke. A wonderful every day keeper from the same company which produces H. Upmann, Romeo e Julietta, and the venerable Mote Cristo....... Connecticut Toro is very similar to the Monte Cristo White Series. Tasty with notes of Leather, Cedar, and espresso. A minor amount of an uneven burn but eventually one side catches up with the other. Thoroughly enjoyable as I finished mine down to 1" or less, not bitey, satisfying aroma throughout, and SUCH A VALUE !!! These will become one of my humidor staples, alongside its Maduro Brother. Well worth your time to try for yourself. I'm SOLD on them. Mark R.

Just finished the Casa de Garcia Toro Maduro, and it was a MARVELOUS smoke right to the finish. I have smoked quite a few of the H. Upmann Media Noche's which I do like, but found THIS Toro Maduro to be comparable to that Media Noche by Upmann,.......Of course, it IS a product frfom the Same factory & the same tables & rollers as it's stated counterpart, but a SUPER VALUE for a nearly IDENTICAL Smoke. Casa de Garcia has a new customer, & I WILL be back for more !!

The first couple of these were very hard on the draw and I considered returning them. The third one was better so I decided to keep them. The rest of the bundle was hit or miss on the draw. I won't be ordering these again.

The construction of this cigar was amazing. The finish was very nice and the cap was just super which held it together so much longer. Amazing construction for the price! Liked 'em so much I bought another bundle; this time a bit longer but still a 50 ring

ugly, veiny wrapper with a poor uneven burn. Constantly having to dress the burn. Good taste but very uneven. I expected more from Ortega.

I like them

pleasant , some burn inside the wrapper , reasonable cost .

I like them

Love my casa de Garcia cigars. Thank you

For the price per cigar you can't go wrong. It's not a complex flavor by any means but a good smoke for cheap

I bought these for my husband. The 2 distributors that sells these cigars he likes no longer have them. I checked another distributor but they don’t carry this brand and upon searching I found Cigars International and you carry his brand of cigars. He really like these. I think this must be a popular cigar. I was satisfied with the pricing, how easy to order and the delivery was fast. I will continue to use you. Thank you.

I'm pretty cheap so I always like to get as much for my money as I can. This is by far the best cigar I have found for the money. The only problem with it is that CI sells out of them from time to time and then I have to make do with other lesser quality cigars. Bummer. Anyway, as long as they are available, this is the cigar I will always get.

Yes, the Casa de Garcia Churchill Connecticuts were good cigars. I had a 50-cigar order, so I know of what I speak. Cheers, Matt

i like them

This is the cigar I always get. (if available) Rarely do I get one with a bad draw, but it happens. They're cheap enough that you can just toss the one with a bad draw and just light up another.

I got these because CI was out of the Churchhills with aConneticut wrapper. Apparently the Churchhills are pretty popular. Belicosas are a decent smoke but should figure getting at least one or two sticks with a lousy draw and are practically unsmokeable. But they are cheap enough to overlook that. For the money, you can't beat them.

Love these sticks - and the price. Very smooth, aromatic, creamy smoke. Clean burn and pairs well with coffee or bourbon. Win win!

Very light. Enjoyable outdoors.

Belicoso sumatra. Wasted money. Dry and flavourless. Petite corona connecticut was some better.

They have a flavor that is smooth and mellow. Taste great.

wonderful tasting cigar

Can't beat this cigar for the money.

I’ve tried many daily smokers however I keep returning to the Casa De Garcia brand. Very mild, well rolled for a smooth draw and reasonably priced. You won’t go wrong here!

The robustos are great for a quick smoke with a cup of coffee. I keep a bundle of these around at all time.

Good but I find them to always be very hard on the draw no mater who I buy them from. Don't think I will buy them again. I gave them 3 try's so far Its always the same,

Good,mild cigar for the price.
