CI Knock-Offs - Compare to Macanudo

Great cigar for the price, not always in stock but pretty good deal when available.

Enjoyed these babies would buy again

good cigar to smoke on golf course or sitting in boat on hot day trying to catch your first walleye very mild

About half of my bundles seem to be wrapped to tight

Great cigars, love the knock offs

Great

really good!

The only difference that I see, is the price, it's a great cigar.

Good taste but a little inconsistency I draw

For years a Macanudo smoker. Switched to these as my favorite for a coupe of years since. They aren't a Macanudo and that is fine for me, inasmuch as they are a little milder. Just right for my afternoon smoke. Those who complain about not liking them ought to know that CI has a great make good returns policy.

Just okay. To me, I didn’t really taste the resemblance to Macanudo. A bit sweet but a good aftertaste. Horrible draw.

Good price, great taste, nice even burn. Only complaint is hard draw

Good smoke for everyday.

I have tried other Mac knock-offs when I am on the golf course, and this is about the best I have had. They are smooth, have a good draw and really good flavor, all at an excellent price. Thanks CI.

You won't be disappointed with this product! Give a try!

This is my everyday cigar. Share it with friends and they love'em! Great draw, good mild flavor, lots of smoke, good ask, and lasts a long time. And for the price...you can't beat it. Just ordered another bundle, and found out they're on back order. No problem-O. I'll wait. They're that good!

Great smoke- my every day smoke

Great deal and the taste is pretty much the same as a macanudo. I’ll continue to purchase these.

Really can't find difference between this and the real Macanudo

Great value

Good cigar

Just burned the first one out of the bundle for my evening dog walk. I have have many bundles of this stick I. Gordo size but thought I would try s smaller version and it’s just as good. Great value for a quality smoke when you only have about an hours time to burn a stick.

Have smoked several bundles of these at different times and have yet to be disappointed.

Great stick compared to a macanudo. Goes great with my morning coffee.

These cigars are excellent every day smoke and burn well the whole smoke through. I can enjoy one for an entire hockey game.

Nice for price

I have purchased these many times over the years and they are consistently mild and that is the type of cigar I like

I was very happy with the product

pretty good

Great everyday stick. Mild and even burn.

A great smoking cigar. For the price, it's hard to beat. They are my morning and evening cigar. Thanks for these gems.

Good smoke, had a problem with one so far, a little hard drawing. I'll buy again. Thanks

Decent cigar

For the money these are a great value. I will buy them again.

They are good very good for the price.

Just as good

Extremely satisfied. Bought these to hand out for birth of my son and everyone enjoyed. Will buy again for sure

ok

Great value.

Good cigar for a daily smoke. Burns decent with a few touch ups.

cant beat for the money. Good smoke anytime

Good draw. Mild taste. Decent cigar for price

Good smoke for what it costs. Have ordered twice.

A smooth smoke at a reasonable price. What else could you ask for? I don't need a fancy cigar ring on my smoke. A fuller wallet is a happier outcome!

Very pleased.Good mild flavor.

very good /made well tastes fine

Would not pay the difference for the real thing.

Excellent cigar and fairly priced. CI Knock-Offs - Compare to Macanudo are all I smoke.

Great cigar ! Smooth and great price !

My number one buy...keep them coming...

Nice cigar

Good smoke, recommended using a punch instead of a cutter to cut down on filler falling out

Great cigar for a low price.

Wow, what a great everyday smoke. I will buy again, you must try.

A really pleasant and satisfying smoke. For the price , you can't beat it.

I’m a first time knock off buyer, but after trying this cigar, I will most definitely try more. This cigar is so smooth and tasty, I didn’t realize I smocked two.....

Great cigar for the price

Great taste and flavor. Great bang for your buck

A fine cigar. Not sure how it really compares to the real Macanudo, but that's quite alright.....it's stands on it's own as a tasty smoke.

Really Can't give you an honest evaluation since I have not smoked them yet and probably won't for another 40 days or so. I have a large humidor and presently the CI knock offs are on the bottom shelf. But, I trust that those cigars will do well? If they are good, I will order them again, and if not good, well you know!

This mild cigar is a well constructed and great tasting smoke. For the price it’s a good cigar for the golf course or while you’re doing honey do-a. It holds a great ash and smokes down to the nub without losing it’s taste

Great cigars for the price.

Church Hill Knock Offs are my go to smoke. Always a smooth, lite smoke , never disappoints. I have been getting these for years. Great product.

I like the C.I knock off Macanudo torpedo best. But it's been out of stock so I purchased the Churchill brand. I hope the CI knock off torpedo are back in stock soon.

I have been smoking these for two years now my go to cigar . Can't beat these for taste and price.

Good everyday smoke but not close to a Macanudo Corona. Burns fast and light on body depth. Great price and will buy again. Just won't share with my buds at events.

Great smoke, smooth mild draw.

Good smoke, I was hoping for a smoother finish, but a good cigar for the price

Loved them

Wonderful draw and smoke

I use these cigars while I am outside working in the yard they burn even and taste great.

Good Buy

They arrived too wet and tasted like a wet bale of hay. But after separating the bundle and letting them dry 3 days they are OK and lost that wet barn hay taste.

A good, even burning cigar Very close to the real thing

Surprised how good this smoke is. I will buy more. Burns like a premium cigar and the draw is smooth. A little loose but that is to be expected for a machine rolled cigar. I'll buy more

This cigar has the most even burn rate of all the relatively inexpensive cigars I have tried.

Excellent cigar. Almost like the cigar it clones.

The knock offs are very close to a real macsnudo at a fraction of the cost. Will buy again

Great value. Great smoke!

Too soft, not firmly warpped enough, burns irregularly, wants to come apart. Good mild taste.

Fill ends up in your mouth

A good Smoke, I enjoyed them. A good value

Grea service. I will continue to use Cigars International

Almost as good as the real thing, but at a price I can smoke everyday.

This knockoff is fantastic nice smooth even draw

I enjoyed both sizes of the Cigars that I bought. It is a good every day Cigars for me

Can't beat them for the price!

Not bad, not rolled very tight and bitter by the end but a good lawn mowing cigar

Solid mild smoke at a fantastic price. No special occasion needed here.

I buy the CI knock offs all the time they are all great cigars!

They may be named Knock Offs but I feel they are any thing but. A really decent smoke and taste. Well worth the money.

Excellent price for a great cigar.

Good smoke

great cigar good price

Good smoke. What else needs to be said?

A really good cigar for the price!

GREAT ..only issue is they are a quick smoke because they're packed loose but overall good cigar

I love these cigars - especially at these price points.

A great even burning cigar

Love the coffee ones.

Good balance and value

A well balanced cigar that's good to the ring and dose not boat.

Just okay smoke.

Not what I expected but not bad for the money. They're supposed to be a Macanudo knockoff but don't favor them at all, as far as I'm concerned. All in all, well worth the money if you don't expect to taste the fine flavor of a Macanudo when you light up.

I love these. The burn is tight and cannot afford to buy the real deal, so for the money these are great as long as the quality of the knock-offs stays the same. Smooth and great to smoke on golf course or on pool deck with a whiskey. Thank you CI !!

They were very good and smooth

Good value for the price. Smooth and mild and stay lit thru 9 holes of golf. Perfect since I am not a cigar expert.

One of the best values I’ve encountered.

I really enjoy these as an everyday smoke. And they are priced right! Will be ordering these with most of my reorders!

Fantastic smoke - very flavorful and great burn / draw. Highly recommend, especially at this amazing price!

Very satisfied with the smoke and price

Great cigar...will buy more!!!

Can't believe how great they are for the price.

buy and enjoy

Good everyday smoke.

Worth the Money for Rbrt

Fair price for this cigar

all is good.

Listen these are getting a 5 Star not because they're the best cigar I've had. But because of what they are advertised, price and the quality. WELL WORTH IT. Great EVERYDAY smoke. Honestly my first was a tad loose BUT it had great draw, smoked evenly, and produced a lot of smoke. The taste was actually pretty decent! I highly recommend these for just wanting something to smoke and not dipping in your $9-$12 cigar stash. A must have if you have a decent sized humidor. I run mine at 66 degrees Fahrenheit and around 70-72% RH.....Hope this review helps.

Bought these for my first time for a knockoff and I was pleasantly surprised. These were rolled well, burnt evenly and the taste was smooth and close to the original. I will order these again and try other knockoffs as well

Nice cigar. Shared some with some friends. They were very complementary about the smoke. I would order again.

Great everyday cigar for the cost!

Burns well. Has pleasant taste leaves little aftertaste.

As advertised, a decent mild smoke value. I prefer med. to full flavored and buy these for others to enjoy. Most would agree they are close to a Mac but at a fraction of the price. No problem with sticks or hard draw, at least in the fattys.

I enjoyed them

Pretty smooth, wrapper was a little loose.

this cigar is a nice tasting cigar for the money the only problem I have with it is that almost everyone I've cut the top has tried to unwrap! I probaby won't order this one again - but the taste is nice! I smoking one now.

The knockoffs are good but not as good as the real thing

This is my yard cigar on a daily basis I save my brand name Macando For the weekends

Not bad

Nice smoke decent draw.

Very good cigars, smoke well ang good taste.

A friend gave me one a few months ago. This is my new favorite cigar. Very reasonably priced too

I like these. They burn good. I will buy them again.

Great cigar!

Impressed by overall quality of this cigar. Good taste, fairly even burn and great price. Only negative is occasional bits and pieces of tobacco. Would purchase again.

I enjoy these for every day Cigar

If you enjoy a nice mild cigar then this is your best bet. Burns evenly and has a great draw. I feel you can't go wrong with these. I've been buying them for years.

This is the third order for these, first two really good, this order not as good but still smokeable. The quality is there but stronger and not as mellow as before. Still worth four stars though!

For the price you would have a hard time to find something better.

Fair flavor, too quick a smoke. I'll stick to your coffee knockoffs

The knockoffs at equal to what they knock off and they are a lot fresher.

I swear by these Macanudo knock-offs, Great flavor and an especially nice value for the smoke. Highly recommended.

Good smoke, easy draw, good value

A fairly mild cigar. The binder needs to be a little tighter as pieces tend to break loose when you draw on the cigar.

Worth every penny

Very good cigar for the money. A nice filler for my humidor. A great after dinner cigar with your favorite bourbon

Can’t tell the difference. Great price.

Didn't care for these .they def don't compare to real Macs really un-smokable I couldn't even Puff whilst doing yard work maybe a bad batch don't know .The reviews are fantastic.There were only a handful that had my same experience so I think we are the exception NOT the norm The only reason these get 4 stars is because of CUSTOMER SERVICE. I filled out a review that CI sent me and noted these are a bad experience for me.Out of the blue I get a call from CI apologizing for the bad experience. They didn't refund the entire cost but they did offer me a discount on my next purchase. I must say that I am impressed with CI. Also I mentioned to the woman I spoke to that a free item was not in my last order and she stated it would be it my next order. GREAT COMPANY GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. This is the first bad experience with a CI purchase and they stood up and in my eyes, made good. Thanks Jessica

An excellent cigar for the price.

Very enjoyable for the money. Nice even draw. Smooth to the end, (and I mean to the end!)

Outstanding. Good value.

A solid mild cigar, pretty much what you'd expect in a Macanudo copy. These burn very well, put out plenty of smoke, and the complexity of the flavor is very subtle. Probably in my top two choices of CI Knock-offs when I want something mellow.

Made an error in previous message. Thought I had ordered a churchill but I had ordered a corona. My complaint about ring size was in error..............whip me with a fishing rod.

Great taste, nice draw, good value

Absolutely a great cigar.

Great price, great taste, great cigar. I like these!

Still waiting for my back order. not happy. need them.

Nice full flavor smooth throughout the smoke.

Not the original but very good for the price. Easily as good as the old Cusano M1's that I used to buy until that 'gar went south ---

These cigars are extremely smooth and have become a great gift for me to give customers

Good smoke much better price than Macanudo.

Burns well, mild taste. A good smoke.

Top notch cigar for the price

Smooth hurry up and eat more in

Great cigar for lil $$$

I like these smokes mellow burn good.

Very smooth good taste and great price

to bad, some variation, little loose. Nice for a cheap smoke but not anything special.

Had these in the past. This order is taking way to long.

Roll was weak. Cigars fell apart and burned extremely fast. Tastes was not great Not a bargain smoke by any stretch.

Best knockoff for the price, They are always out of stock because they are that good

Good smoke for the money

Ok. Nothing special

Good but not as good as the Romeo *julliets

WE CAN ALWAYS DO BETTER!

Honestly a great cigar for everyday smoke... no complaints you get what you pay for. Full flavor throughout and a nice slow burn.

Very good cigar for the price. I plan to order more.

Cigars were good, but the wrapper unravels if the cigars get a little dry.

These are a great smoke for the price. I will order these again. Good taste and smooth draw.

Now that I liked them you don't have them in stock.

I've had about five of these so far. Easy to light, steady burn but a little harsh probably halfway through.

Very good knock-off

Like many of the bundles I receive from CI these sticks needed a little curing time. If you can wait a couple of weeks before you light up (have your purchase spend some quality time in the humidor of your choice) your palate will receive a reward worth waiting for. A nice, smooth, even smoke.

First time I've tried the KO. Impressed. Nice staple cigar at a great price. Medium smoke and stays lite.

Great daily smoke

This is a nice everyday cigar. It sure would be nice to be able to buy some again. What's up with the CI Knock-offs?

The cigars came right on time. Although they are not real Macanudo they are very good and are enjoyed when smoked.

Wow ! good for the price

A very good cigar and great smoke

Flavor is great, price is great. Construction is a little lacking. I find the ones I got, hard to draw...... Otherwise a great smoke.

A perfectly cigar for we daily cigar smokers. Sure is an economical way to enjoy a Mac at a price that is hard to beat.

The CI Knock-Offs never disappoint. Great cigar for your Saturday morning round of golf! Definitely buying these babies again.

Not as good as they used to be. I would buy the Puros Indios Churchill. The Puros Indios is a much better cigar and lot's of flavor!

Mild, flavorful, well constructed. A great daily smoke for golf and whenever.

Will definitely pick these up again. A smooth silky flavor with an easy draw. Great for 18 holes.

Smooth taste excellent draw great cigar for the money

Very close to Macanudo Cafe

These cigars are a smooth easy draw masterpiece.

Decent smoke. Quality of roll not at macanudo standards but u get what I pay for. Irregular burn and hard draw on about 10%.

Ultra-Mild, smooth enjoyment with every draw! I call these my "poker buddy" cigars! Sticks that you and your friends can light up in the garage while sitting at the poker table, and it won't get you chased outside! These also remind me of the Cusano M1 connecticuts, mild aroma, smooth amd tasty draws!

These cigars are really a great smoke and are mild with a good draw.

Great tasting cigars, good price as well.

I like em. Easy burn, good draw, and a mild taste.

Good cigar for price. Please keep in stock

Good draw, nice even burn, and a halfway decent flavor, but it's not a Macanudo. I plan to get a five pack of Macanudo Corona to 'supplement' these. Certainly a nice cigar for the price.

Good smoke

i would buy more if they were in stock

Could stand to be rolled a little tighter.

real good cigar n

The Rocky Patel Knock-off burned rather unevenly with a strong draw. It had a very mild taste and fairly fast burn! Overall, I would not pay much over a buck for this smoke!

There ok

Mild - good taste - easy draw - eceptional value

I usually like a little bolder stick, but this one is pretty good. About 20% of them have some uneven burn, but it is not a deal breaker. Give em a try

Great product for price

Loved em’

Quailty of the smoke was very good. The wrapper did not stay rapped though

Cheap alternative with a good price

Very good, taste and smoke the same from start to finish

They are good, but not as good as the CI knockoff Monticristos.

They are very mild with no after taste. I'm enjoying them.

Great cigar for the price.

Send me more!!!

Great cigar for the price, I smoke on average 3 cigars per day.

I buy these as my everyday kicking around smoke. They go great sitting in the garage in front of the wood stove with a book.

I want a decent everyday smoke for the end of the workday. This is it. Nothing fancy, but a good smoke and well made.

Great smoke for the price!!

For the price, I feel they are as good or better than the knockoffs. I have always felt Macanudo's and the like were not worth the price nor the hype.

I really like CI's knockoffs, and these Macanudo taste ali he's were pretty good.. THey were a bit softer than the real thing- definitely not as well constructed-but I'd buy them again.

Long lasting

I went for sale price and bought bundle of 20, tried the 1st one and threw the other 19 in garbage, they were terrible

Very surprised about how much I like these cigars. Nice everyday smoke. Burns pretty evenly, nice flavor, and pretty consistent flavor to almost the end. Def would buy again.

Will probably purchase again.

Decent smoke for the money.

i was very satisfied with my purchase.

Good feel in the hand, good feel in the month, good taste, smooth burning. Well worth the price.

Taste not too bad

I was a HUGE fan of the Casa De Garcia sticks. They were my foto everyday smoke. The last two batches were awful. This is my first bundle of these and they have a great flavor, mild through the entire stick. Wrapper stays together well, the cigar stays lit well, has a nice easy draw. A Macanudo it is not, but it is a really good cigar. If you take the price into account, it is an excellent cigar. Well done.

I really enjoy the knock off prices

You know the price is good, the flavor is fine, if you smoke these and then maybe smoke a nicer name brand you can tell the difference for sure because of the flavor. That said, for the deal these aren't bad.

NICE ,MELLOW CIGAR,SOME BURNT UNEVENLY,SOME UNRAVELED WHILE SMOKING...

Good cigar for the price

Nice smoke; even draw! Great for a round of golf!!Nice smoke; even draw! Great for a round of golf!!

Really good smoke, start to finish. Great golf course cigar.
