CI Knock-Offs - Compare to White Label

Worth the price. Nice , clean burning smoke

Tight construction, good draw, and the flavor is very nice.

I enjoy the White Label CI KOs but had a few that are rolled too tight. Regular buyer of the CI smokes but no matter which ones I get I'm going to discard a couple because of the draw.

good value

The Draw on these cigars varies, I’d say about half we’re about un-smokable due to the difficult draw. The flavor of these were fantastic, it was to bad that the draws were so inconsistent.

Great blend. Slightly tight draw.

Very good cigar. Draws well, even burning, and doesn't bite my tongue. It's in the top drawer of my humidor.

Not up to expectations

Very smooth and goes great with my favorite whiskey.

Nice choice for a smooth mild smoke

Comes awfully close to a real White Label.

as usual I have received great cigars from this company. sometimes things aren't perfect but they are knockoffs but still taste good to me. I recommend these for the price

Nice cigar for the $ Good draw Not a lot of flavor

Well made, burned evenly every time, none were plugged draw was consistent provided a nice amount of smoke, good flavor with a long finish

Tasty and delicious

Medium mild cigar with a great taste for me. I really enjoy this cigar and the price.

Pretty dependable. Occasionally get one that is tough to draw. Burns even. Pretty consistent.

The knock offs were surprisingly delicious. They did burn a little fast but with good comes bad. Based on the price you can't go wrong. I have already ordered them again.

Nice consistent smoke, burned even, consistent throughout.

Good cigar. Compares very well with a premium cigar.

Great cigar for the price. I did notice minor imperfections, but it is to be expected with knockoffs

A nice cigar for the price. Good garage cigar!!

Good value

Good

These are a delightful alternative for someone who doesn't want to spend hundreds for a box of cigars. I previously ordered 2nds and prefer these for their draw and taste, they hold up well during the smoke and have a decent burn time.

Very good , the only concern is that three of the cigars had a bad draw.

Taste and Burns Great!....I would reorder and be happy with this cigar every time.

Mild but great flavor

My favorite smoke! I really can't tell any difference between these and the Monte Cristo white series. Big price difference

Cigar is good but too expensive for a knock-off, with tax and shipping it’s approximately $5.00 a stick

A good golf course cigar. It will last for 14-18 holes if you take your time and the wind is not up.

Very happy with these cigars. Burns evenly, mild, flavorful. Highly recommend. Makes me want to try the other knock-offs!

Nice easy smoke. Good value.

The cigar was a comparable one. I liked most things about the cigar, draw, smoke. Burn was a little harsh towards the end. However I liked the cigar, with one exception being that cigar would fall apart on the cut end during the smoke.

I never smoked White Label so hard to compare. Burned better than Coffee but more smoky, also more expensive.

Very happy with these cigars. They burn smooth and evenly. The flavor is mild and very close to White label and the draw was 👌🏻

I think they are smooth. I'm retired and can not afford the original White Label.

Smooth and mellow with a even burn. Loved them all.

Excellent replacement for the original white label...

Well made and they smoke nicely.

They start to come apart about half way down

Very smooth. Very consistent. No bitterness. I love this cigar. AND incredibly priced.

fine knock-off

Really surprised me , they are a pretty good smoke, some burn a little eratic but still very good.

Great smoke. Tightly wound. Big bang for the buck.

I liked them.

Very good daily cigar. Great flavor.

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

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!

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

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

Quite nice cigar for the price

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.

Good every day cigar

Very good.

Excellent

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Yum

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

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.

great service

These are delicious. A true value.

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.
