CI Knock-Offs - Compare to White Label

VERY HAPPY with these! Smooth, even burning and a great price...will order these again.

Can’t beat it for the price.

Good inexpensive smoke

Awesome cigars

So I continue to buy these cigars, because I often smoke them while driving road trips, and don't mind if I don't get to finish them for the cost. Flavor is usually good, consistent, fairly mild. Holds a good burn, firm solid head without falling all over the place. My only complaint is the wrapper... They're constantly splitting/peeling about 1/3 to 1/2 into the cigar, on more than 3/4 of the pack, on every pack. I just usually put up with it and keep smoking, but sometimes it gets annoying. I know it's not my humidor, because these are the only ones that happens with. I keep my humidor just about 70%, with the temp rarely getting over 75 degrees. So, in closing, they're a good smoke, and good value, just don't be surprised if you have trouble with the wrappers. I'd buy them again (and will).

Great value cigars that are not too mild and have a consistent flavor throughout the smoke.

Really good smoke - I can't tell the difference from the original!

Most knock-offs are just OK. After a little while in the box, these were a pleasant surprise. I will buy again.

A good cigar at the end of the day.

Really enjoyed smooth smoke, great buy for the money!

For a Knock Off I was impressed with the smooth taste and the burn has been exceptional. Very good for a round off golf or on the lake bass fishing.

Have had the cigars for over a week and still can't keep them lit. I buy them to smoke them, not re-light again and again. The cigars should be in a smokable condition upon receipt. Not weeks later when you finally find the right humidity balance. Won't purchase again.

Very good cigar

Every bit as good as the Mac Hyde Park

They are good smokes. Nice draw, medium flavor and very good value.

Quite nice cigar for the price

Can my friends tell the difference between this cigar and the real thing? Nope. Can I tell? Ehhh, maybe. Am I going to buy more? Absolutely. I'm also going to order some of the other knock offs.

Highly recommend these to anyone who like a mellow body, smooth draw light cigar. I have purchase quite a few samplers and tried quite a few cigars in the past year or so and these i will definitely purchase again. Great buy!

I've smoked these before and found them very gratifying. They are very mild and have a good ash. They are easy to keep lit and have a good taste to the end.

Enjoyable smoke

This knock off seems as though the only thing keeping it from being a 95 cigar is that there is no label on it. Smooth smoke and burns nicely.

These are pretty good, although I’ve had a few with tough draw. That happens though, and doesn’t feel as bad as your $15 cigar that won’t smoke right! I think I prefer the montecristo knockoffs a bit more. The pyramide shape is great.

Good every day cigar

Very good.

Can't beat any of "CI-Knock offs" for the $. Great golf course smoke to share with your buddies and not go broke.

Still waiting for,,, CI KNOCK-OFFs Thank You

The man thought they were very much like the original and had good flavor

Sometimes buying a knock-off can be a disappointment. Not in this case. Draws easily and burns evenly. Great smoke, great price! I will buy again.

GOOD BUY !!

Excellent construction and draw. Evenly burn. However, they were more harsh and full bodied than White label. I did not enjoy them. Bad taste.

well made, good value

Smooth!

They were not as good but a good substitute for a good price

Knock-Off Churchill Cigar was well constructed; nice draw; nice tasting wrapper; Smoke equally as good as quality as White Label Good enjoyable smoke

CI knockoffs has been my every day cigar for many years since a buddy's turned me on to them. I like the macanudos the best but the white labels are very good as well.

I have only smoked one cigar and it was great. Based on taste and quality, had I not known, I would have thought it was the real thing. I love the white label cigars and could only smoke one on a special occasion due to the costs. Now I can enjoy them on a regular basis. Thank you CI

Very enjoyable cigars. Good construction. Long leaf. Great value for the price.

I see no similarities with the white label.

Very good smoke. I would recommend to anyone.

Good stogie for the $ and excellent daily smoke

I've liked several of the knockoffs, I think one was a disappointment, but the fairly recent addition of the White Label knockoffs has become my favorite cigar. Was disappointed that the Pyramide style was out of stock last time I ordered, but tried the Toro, and it's every bit as good.

Not bad....not particularly good....just OK.

Have tried about 5 so far and was very pleased with all of them. They taste good, burn good and stay lit for a reasonable time

Love this cigar! Even burn, super smooth and a beautiful price! Great everyday cigar. Nice work guys!

the first one was hard to keep lit , the second one was about the same the three one was a little better i hope the rest of them smoke better then the first ones. thanks mark.

Not smooth. Had the flavor of a low grade cigar. Not pleased.

One of the best "mild" Connecticut I ever smoked. On a scale of 1-10 a definite 10. You guys are marvelous.

It was not the worst cigar I have ever had but is far from comparing to the real White Label did burn fine and even, I am about half way through the 20 pack and have not decided if I will order them again at this point I probably won't

Very dry, humidified and wrappers still breaking and falling off, not worth the money.

In the past, I mainly smoked Romeo Y Julieta Vintage and Arturo Fuente's; both mainly a mild smoke. Once, when I was out of cigars, a friend offered me one of the “Knock-Offs” and I was sold. I started purchasing the White Label Knock Off’s and haven’t purchased others since.

I do like them. Good flavor and smoked smooth.

Can't beat them for the price. Minor differences between how well rolled some are.

Just like the real deal, fo one quarter of the price

Waste of money tried to smoke three after that just put them in the garbage

Good dead beat buddy handout

I've been impressed with a couple of the CI Knock-Offs, particularly Romeo e Julietta, but the White Label batch I recently purchased takes the cake. Very smoothe smoke, great draw, and haven't had one run at all. I've gravitated to the mild-medium end of the spectrum in the past year, and this is a keeper in that realm! Do wish they came 20 to the package like other KOs, but you can't have everything...

Yum

These cigars are smooth and a decent smoke, but I would not put them in the same category as Mintecristo White Label.

Nice every day cigar. Smooth draw and flavorful cigar. I will buy again...if there are any left after my review

I bought them to compare to Gispert, about the same price. Gispert is a known good value cigar but "knock offs" are not. Knock offs delineate as you smoke and look like an exploding cigar by the time you finish. Taste? what taste? Skip them and stick with name brands.

smokes okay but some burned inconsistently abd uneven draws

great service

These are delicious. A true value.

Damn fine smoke. Nice and smooth and creamy.

I have smoked many Cuban cigars living close to the border to Mexico, most Dominican and Honduran popular brand cigars and must say that regardless of the value of CI Knocks-Offs, they compare to few top brand cigars and I qualify them as an independent pleasant flavor and smooth draw cigar for the most demanding smokers.

Good but not as smooth as the real white label
