Mark Twain Memoir

Very nice medium to full cigar. Burns even and slow for lengthy enjoyment

Can't get much better than these. I am smoking one now. Just excellent!

This cigar received a 4 star from me because it did not leave an after taste like many cigars, but it starts off a little dry and bitter. After a while, the taste smooths out some. I am not a professional smoker, so take this review lightly.

Good, slow burning cigar

Great smoke !

Great cigars at a great price.

Nothing better for the price.

My review on this cigar was during a game of golf. I found it was very enjoyable with a smooth smoke. It never required a delight . In fact it was so enjoyable I smoked it to a nub, which I never do.

This is one of my 'go-to;' sticks when I'm looking for a great, long lasting cigar. The price is amazingly low for such a good cigar.

OK cigar fair flavor harsh finish

Good humidor filler

I bought this cigar, along with my Kristofs and Excaliburs, based upon the reviews I found. It's a keeper. Had one last night on the deck and thought it had a great taste from start to finish and a smooth & even burn. I'll definitely do this one again.

These are my everyday smoke. Rich, smooth draw. Love them.

very nice long lasting smoke.

I would not say this is a good cigar for the price. I would say this is just a good cigar. It holds up and is often better than much more expensive brands. Don't buy them because I'm sick of them being back ordered.

They are very good cigars and reasonably priced.

Cheap! But good

For the money plus some. , if you like a deep taste . This one rocks . Good burn , quick ash fall though ....

These are one of of most favorite

Excellent big ring smoke.

Easy light, easy draw, even burn, solid ash, and an abundance of flavorful smoke. What is not to like in an everyday cigar?

Great cigar and even a better price. On third box and have not had any problems with any of them. Fast delivery on every order.

I enjoyed the nice smooth draw and non harsh finish. This is a cigar that you can enjoy in any setting.

Nice smoke

Perfect cigar to kill a couple of hours witn. Great construction, flavor and burn. I buy a handful every chance I get.

This is an excellent cigar for the price. Nice flavor, not overpowering and is consistent throughout. While not at the La Flor Dominicana level, very decent cigar when it's on sale.

Awesome to keep it simple

My favorite cigar !

Good cigar for this price

Got a good deal on this one. Great smoke although I found that it was much better when cut rather than punched. Will buy more of these big boys soon.

These are top notch cigars for an unbelievable price

...yes, buy these. Great build and flavor.

pretty good daily smoke. Liked the peppery feel/taste

I enjoyed my first one.

Good smoke

Cigar does have a good flavor and burns evenly.

Great cigar!! This is the second time I’ve bought these.. Will buy again..

Sat down with my favorite beverage in a snifter and enjoyed a full bodied flavoured smoke. Flavour remained constant to the end. Surprisingly smooth for such a robust cigar, am looking forward to enjoying these on the golf course.

really good flavor, burns nice...great cigar for a great price.

Cool, even, long-lasting burn. Flavorful cigar. Definitely a favorite.

One of the best Sticks for the price point

tight wrap, mild flavor

My favorite everyday cigar... Great flavor, smooth even burn. One plus hour of cigar bliss....

One of my favorite smokes. Highly recommend this stick to anybody. Nice full flavor.

Always a worthwhile purchase at a reasonable price and good smoke down to the fingers

OK for a good ever day cigar, I would by agan some time later.

Very enjoyable!!

Great smoke! Nice full body full flavor cigar. Good earth tones and an even burn. Quickly becoming one of my favorites.

I stumbled across this cigar as part of a sampler and I was surprised how good it was. Nice construction, even burn, nice finish. All that and at a great price. Well done CI

MT Memoir is one of the best big ring smokes currently in this price range. Dark oily wrapper, white ash, medium body and full flavor makes it an everyday pleasure.

Essy to smoke, great drawing cigar. If you like other Mark Twains, but looking for a maduro, this is it. Great price on a solid stick.

A well built maduro cigar truly deserving of its name. Nice even draw with notes of coffee.

They’re always part of my order, however would be nice to view your website here in the uk to see what else I’d like.

A very enjoyable smoke

It seems that every man's search for the Holy Grail of cigars is a combination of a great smoke with a great flavor that finishes as good as it starts, combined with a price point that you can't believe. Look no further Brothers! This is it!

Excellent cigar for the money.

As the title states, this is a nice, medium bodied maduro. Th we e is a descent amount of smoke that has a slightly sweet leathery taste. My only complain is the wrapper. It seems to burn much slower than the filler, which requires relighting often.

These babies have become my go to cigar on the golf course or on my patio. Great taste and smooth burn. I love them and every one I've handed one off to loves them too.

This cigar is a real sleeper. Hands down, one of the best values in cigars. I always try to keep some in the humidor.

Good smoke for the money just a little tight.

Good smoke

No flavored still good cigar regularly

These have a great flavor, draw, and are rolled just perfectly.

they came in very dry and most fell apart

I thought these were mild like the ones I usually buy. There were Maduro which are too strong for me.

I prefer robustos but I really like the size and shape of these,taste is very even all the way through.I don't know all the fancy words to describe this cigars but I do know a good cigar when i SMOKE ONE YOU WON

One of my favorites. Great flavor, smooth burn. Great cigar for the money..

Good cigar for golf course or after work wind down.

Excellent Maduro smoke at a very reasonable price. A favorite for sure and a longer smoke.

I have purchased this cigar for several years. It's very good

A great smoke! Will buy again

I really enjoy these. Many moments of pleasure. Not my absolute favorite but right up there.

I shied away from these Mark Twains for years because I though the name was hokey, so how could they be any good. Then I bought a variety pack that had a couple in it and man was I surprised. Mark Twain is now one of my staples in my humidor. You are promised and delivered a good even smoke, smooth taste and a long smoking experience. When I was to sit down for a 2 hour smoking session there's a good chance I am grabbing this guy.

Good solid flavorful cigar

very good smoke for the price!

This is a great stir. Smokes very good👍🏾

Very rich tasting fabulous flavour

Good smoke

Not bad for the price.

A very good maduro. Good favor for maduro smokers. Medium body with nice construction and consistent burn. Enjoyable smoke.

Sam makes one top notch stick ! He and I have spent many a time together travelin the highways and byways of America ! He provides a great time and story to keep me “Drivin on”! Spanky

Good draw. Fun to smoke .

Nice, even, mellow smoke.

This has become my favorite, good taste and nice aroma.

Very nice cigar!

Great full strength cigar Smooth draw and earthy flavor

This is an amazing cigar

Very good smoke.

This is a great cigar for the price.

I really like the flavors in this cigar. Hints of cocoa, spice, & coffee. Burns well, good draw, I will order these cigars again. I love the 6x60 size. Great service.

Very exceptional cigars, I highly recommended them for that longlasting fullbody'd taste!

One that grows on you as you smoke it.

...nicely rolled, even burn, and a very easy smoke, these will be purchased again.

This is an exceptional and affordable stick to smoke every day.

Smooth medium grade cigar, great smoke for the price.

These are not for beginners. It takes awhile to adapt your taste to these full bodied, full flavored cigars. They're great on the golf course and the 6X60 size will last for about one a side! Don't smoke these inside, you'll stink up the house.

great flavor smooth easy draw great smoke for the price

Great cigar for the money. Sam would be proud

Okay cigar. Burns quickly.

A quality stick at a reasonable price

Decent everyday smoke at decent price! i smoke one Mark Twain Memoir per day and i am happy! i get compliments from friends about the aroma from time to time. the body of the cigar can become brittle from time to time and take the fun out of smoking! it sure upset me when cigars international was out of this cigar for almost 4 months, common guys, get it together!

Nice draw ,good taste. Very pleased.

Great cigar

These were awesome cigars well worth the price offered by CI. I had tried one that a frieGive em a try you will enjoy them!

I love the Mark Twain cigars but I wish CI would keep them in stock

It’s pretty simple really, I love them and great price. Always a pleasure dealing with CI only trouble is with the new data protection situation I’m no longer able to view the web site from the U.K

Good smoke.

My husband really loves this cigar for the price, but it ALWAYS is on back order. Come on CI.....order more at a time so we don't have to wait. This not something new, it's always like this for most of the Mark Twain's.

Great

Great cigar for a daily smoker. Price is perfect and flavor is great.

That is a truely good tasting, well made cigar. Very enjoyable smoke. Hope the prices stay where they are??????!!!!!!!

Good rich flavor, and long lasting.

A high quality yet reasonably priced cigar. A very good value in my opinion.

My first shipment of 20 I liked, the second had several plugged, and 2 split open. Don't plan to buy any more.

Not a bad cigar but not my favorite either but pretty good for the price

Good smoke

Nice long smoke

I love these cigars. They are a little strong,but i like a cigar that is a little on the strong side. They burn nice and even and they are easy to keep lit. I smoke both sizes the 6x60 and the 6.2x64 and I like them both.

Fully enjoyed those cigars

A great smoke you can count on.

Great smoke every time. Full rich taste, even burn, excellent value

Great everyday smoke, Leave them in your humidor for a week and they are even better.

Glad I only ordered a 5 pack. This is, at best a golf course cigar. This cigar did not deliver any flavors, had to touch it up 5 times during my smoke, absolutely no transitions. This is a CHEAP stick to say the least. I won't buy anymore, I don't think i would hand these out for baby cigars. Way over priced for the what you get.

Can't get enough.

I ordered 2 boxes just after enjoying my 3rd cigar from my 1st box for a total of 3 boxes ordered in one weeks time...what more is there to say?

This is a very nice full flavor cigar for the price. I've tried several full flavor cigar that are supposed to be bargains this is by far the best cigar that the average working man can get in a reasonable price

Excellent smoke for the price!

They are a great smoke to unwind with on a Friday night.

Good stick, tastes good plenty smoke, I enjoyed the fiver, will certainly order more

By far the best smoke I’ve ever had

A real diamond in the rough. A great find.

This is a GREAT smoke!! Slow burning, fantastic flavor, really good with your favorite beverage..

Outstanding & affordable

Very nice med-full smoke. Really enjoyed them.

maintained a steady burn, and had a good taste.

They are a great smoke and a great price.

For the price you can't beat it for your everyday smoke

Love when they go on sale.

probably the best stick for the price I have ever bought, great flavor, great burn

bit too intense for me enjoy natural Twain usual smoke is Auturo Furnte

Tried these inexpensive cigars and was disappointed. Little flavor and an uneven burn on the two I tried to smoke. Huck Finn could not give these away.

This is my 2nd bundle. The 1st was very enjoyable. The 2nd apparently rolled by apprentices. Of the 8 I have smoked so far,3 were loosely rolled (more like cigarettes) and 5 have burned up one side. I use my cutter to square the end so I can relight it. Other than the physical aspects, I do, however, enjoy the taste.

Nice every day smoke. Good draw, can't beat the price

Excellent smoke- flavorful, packed correctly, draws easily, no dead spaces, pleasant aroma, lasts 1 hour minimum, structured ash

Not a peppery as the write up. Good solid smoke, nice burn.

bIG..RING...BARGAIN

These are definitely some of the best cigars that I have ever purchased. Smooth, even burning and easy to relax and enjoy.

An ok cigar. The burn is not great. This cigar responds better to lower humidity because if not it will got out often. The flavor is still decent and its not a bad stick. If you are looking for a long smoke with decent flavor at a good price this could be for you.

Good taste

I haven't tried them yet but I'm looking forward to it!! I ordered them online and about a week later I got them in the mail. I'm very pleased with the timeline they took to get to my house.!

nice construction toothy brown wrapper burns nice smells nice tastes good. medium and spicy with that Nicaraguan taste i was impressed and surprised for what i paid for it. long smoke so be ready to smoke a bit. worth the few dollars. best smoke for the brand and price by far.

I guess for the money it’s a fair cigar, but don’t think I’ll buy anymore, can be bitter, harsh and inconsistent.

enjoy it very much

I guess im like most people. U c a big NAME and u say how did they put into the name or the stick. Well I will tell u they did them both rite! Shoot! I'm enjoying one rite now as I write this review. So don't be shy, buy some rite now and enjoy.

Got 5 of them in a sampler and I was VERY pleasantly surprised! Easy draw, starts spicy and mellows out a few puffs in. Somewhat of an uneven burn at times but holds a beautiful white ash throughout. 2 hour stick for me and I loved every minute of it. Great cigar a great price!

Disappointed in the lack of taste.

After being in my humidor for about a year they were pretty good. Had tried them when they arrived and was not thrilled so stashed them away.

I like them

Hardly any taste. Leaves bad after taste of ash. Had to quit half way and use mouth wash to cleanse my pallet. Would not recommend. Now I have 19 left and would honestly rather toss them.. got drawn in by the artistic band. Win some lose some.

This is a nice heavy cigar. construction is visually nice but they have all required frequent touch ups to keep burning straight. flavor is great with very malty earthy thickness with a medium body smoothness. I am a relatively fast smoker, yet they last a full 2 hours at which point there is 2 inches left but i need to get on with other things. definitely recommend. also the band is fantastic with nice embossing and graphics

Generally, Mark Twain Memoir No. 1, a good long-lasting smoke. If you smoke while driving, one stick will get you from Buffalo to Cleveland. Nice mild profile. As one might expect, there is some inconsistency in construction, draw, and blend (for a mixed-filler cigar) ... but overall, well worth having a 10-pack in the humi. On the other end of the spectrum, there's occasionally one or two (out of ten) way better then the rest. Go figure, eh?

Probably one of the best cigars I’ve had excellent flavor great burn

Will definitely buy them again. Excellent taste, enjoyed them very much.

Good

Really nice draw. Love the dirty, earthy Corojo-ness in the stick. One of my favorites.

One of the best

Love these awesome 2 hour smoke I like to have one of these at least once a week need at least a month in the humidor before smoking makes a huge difference

I had been want to try these for a long time. There was a deal I couldn’t pass up and I took a shot and bought 2 deals...wonderful cigar for just sitting on the back porch with a nice Bock it Porter and listening to the birds. I don’t really know the lingo but for me it bites nice on the first drag, settles in for a crisp but mellow long burn and finishes with a gentllemenly been nice talking I see you next time kinda thing...y’all know what I mean? Good stuff here...

Good, smooth cigar

They were falling apart, burning unevenly, but tasted good and had a decent draw.

A good smoke for an even better price.

This is a fine smooth even burning cigar, good from start to finish.

One of my go to cigars, can’t beat the taste or price. Charlie V.

One of the best buys for your money...good taste, excellent burn, firm to the end...

starts of a little mellow but gains steam a good smoke at a good price

A GREAT SMOKE AT A GREAT PRICE

This is my third box of these cigars. This is a great every day smoke.

Can’t beat the price

Full of tobacco and flavor. Fairly slow burning. Molasses and curry. Compared to similar Bahia Maduro Churchill this has a bit more flavor and a better cap construction.

Solid cigar for the money. I enjoy these smokes. They are surprisingly mild yet provide enough satisfaction and depth to please a maduro smoker.

These cigars are absolutely the best you can buy for the money. I have not had a better cigar! They are the bomb! I will definitely buy more.

These are a good cigar for the price with good flavor and a nice look. They keep burning even if you set it down for a while. I'm about halfway thru the bundle, and several of the ones I've smoked so far have burned unevenly, faster on one side than the other. I've had to trim off the longer side and relight to get it to burn straight across. Also some were very easy on the draw, but the last one I had got very hard to draw about two/thirds gone. Overall, a good smoke for the price. The things I mentioned aren't a biggie to me and I'd buy them again for sure.

Smooth and flavorful. Well put together.

The beautiful cigar, has an excellent construction. Draw is medium wrapper is text book. All around this is an excellent smoke especially for the price and here is my “explain”. There are 3 levels of cigars in my book, economy-premium-and vintage, all progressively complex and expensive. Science this forum doesn’t distinguish between them I gave it a “2stars”. After all it’s against some mint cigars. If it was rated as an economy cigar? 5 stars all day long. Great smoke for an 18!

Might be some higher priced cigars that are better but I just in love with this cigar plenty taste but smooth ash stay put burns great lots of smoke ,fat and long

Very nice

I've ordered these a few times now and have had pretty good luck. I really like the flavor and it is a great cigar for 18 holes of golf. Occasionally, I'll get one that has some burn issues or the wrapper starts to separate after I remove the label, but overall it's a very good, affordable stick. I think Mark Twain would approve.

It's a great cigar I've told all my cigar buddies about them and they love them too

I tried to Mark Twain's on several occasions they always turn out to be a very good and consistent smoke my friends have tried them out and they love them they say they're consistent and full-flavored collectively in my opinion it's a very good smoke and I recommend it to anybody

It really is a nice cigar, not great, but for under $3 it is the best value out there. Lots of smoke, not harsh unless smoked too hot and a good cigar taste. Solid construction, occasional draw issue but I can deal with minor issue.

Good smoke, smooth and not to powerful. Not my regular stick but you folks were out of victor Sinclair Doppio

These were tasty cigars but 20-30% were badly plugged.

Great Smoke

not bad on flavor. Good price but butane use keeping it lit doubles the cost. not reordering

very good

A affordable smoke that burns well with a smoky taste.

Great smoke! For me, as close to cigar perfection as I've experienced so far! Definitely a new favorite!

except for a few blocked ones once in a while, it is a tasty cigar! i love to sit on the porch and light one up in the late afternoons! can't complain about the price, if it stay reasonable. this cigar will continue to be my "go to" cigar of the day ;-)

Top shelf smoke for a fair price.this is not a cheap tasteless stick good medium to full cigar

I find the Memoir to be a nice hearty smoke, that always satisfies.

Good inexpensive smoke

Has become my favorite cigar

A friend of mine had given me a Memoir 2 and I loved it! He told me about a Memoir 3 he had that was way over the top for him. Almost too much cigar to smoke in a sitting. I immediately wanted it. Ordered a box. They do not disappoint and I am not of the same opinion as my friend. I love this cigar. Long lasting smooth and a big strong smoke. Flavorful and just satisfying!!

Good tasting cigar

This one of the best cigars on the market. Great taste and pleasant aromas. They're a must have

I was gifted one of these cigars and enjoyed it so much I ordered a box that very day as I smoked it. Tasty and smooth, Great draw and plenty of smoke. I have gifted a few of them myself and have heard back that they really liked this cigar. I will let half of them age for a bit and enjoy them very much.

really easy to smoke amazing

Lots of smoke with a lot of flavor especially for the price point !! I’ll happily buy these again !

I've been searching for an inexpensive, everyday cigar, and after having several cigars from this box, I think that the Mark Twain Memoir will be definitely be on the short list! It has a smoothness and richness I expect from a Maduro, but it was much more refined and complex than I expected. In summary, if you're looking for a good, inexpensive everyday stick, I strongly suggest you give this one a try.

Purchased during the Black Friday sale, well worth the great price! Thanks CI

Good smoke draws a little heavy but overall a pretty good smoke

Good

These cigars taste great and burn really nicely. No re-lights, burnouts or canoes.

This is a perfect blend. In this price range very little construction or draw issues. Very enjoyable slow burning.

A great cigar!!

Great taste perfect for the unwind after work

Vary good long smoke worth the money

Nice burn and good draw. Smooth taste through mid cigar I was very happy and surprised by quality at this price

Tasty but rolled too tight, had to put small screwdriver through them!

Good smoke

I am very happy with the Ark Twain Memoir No. 2. Very well constructed and very smooth to the nub. Easy draw and a nice even burn. I will order more.

Excellent maduro. Large ring, nice even, slow burn. Lasts an hour. My favorite cigar in the RP Edge Toro Maduro. This is a delightful alternative.

Mediocre in flavor. Construction was by comparison pretty good; no wrapper problems. Stayed lit but halfway through I was tired of the taste and this continued cigar after cigar. I still have half-a-box left; don't know who will want to take a chance.

Bought these on a special deal, and glad I did! Great flavor, nice draw, and a cigar box. Bonus!

Don't know what he thinks as won't be smoking till spring

Me and Sam are goid friends. Mostly we just enjoy our time together bantering and blowing smoke in each others face! Whichever Mark he brings with him, we have a Great Time!

Not a big fan. Difficult draw. Little bitter on the taste . Tend to have lot of loose tobacco

The Mark Twain is truly a great smoke at a value. Burns evenly for a relaxing enjoyable. Smoke.

Very enjoyable excellent cigars one of my favorite

Decent cigar for the money. Burn can get a little out of control. Needs adjusting throughout. No big deal. Samuel Clemens would smoke them...

My brother told me these were a great smoke. But not until I got ahold of one, did I truly appreciate his fandom.

My first Mark Twain cigar needed to be worked to get a decent draw. It was wrapped too tight and the tobacco itself, though of good quality and taste, is high in resins as if the leaves were pre- soaked in molasses. Once you have a good draw the smoke is quite enjoyable but at the midway point I had to use a tool a number of times to clear the draw and relight it. The cigar will not hold a light. I am now halfway through the box and have not had one cigar that did not need work to be able to light it and smoke it properly. All the cigars so far seem to have trouble holding a light toward the end. So there are things as far as the smoke I like, but this particular cigar takes too much work to enjoy it properly. I won’t be ordering another box, and would not give them as a gift to a smoking friend.

Fairly simple and straightforward flavors throughout. Nice even burning stick with a smooth draw. Sits nicely on the palette. Enjoy this one with a nice bourbon or whiskey and you can’t go wrong!

I have been wanting to try em, they are a lil pricey but I jumped on a sale. Love em... good burn, strong but not too spicy. Lil woodsy leather ish. Awesome.

I think this cigar is bigger then a 60, and it is great on flavor, burns real good last a long time worth every cent. Dark and full!

I got made fun of from cigar snobs at a local cigar shop I recently visited for smoking one of these I don't know why they are great cigars I think taste is good value is good what is not to like

Uneven burn last two boxes. 👎

This cigar has definitely earned its namesake. Being named after a man who is known to march to the beat of his own drum, not caring what others thought, and being rather simplistic, but bold. This cigar embodies that in spades! It is not going to win numerous awards, or load your palette with false flavors and nuances that have become today cigars. What this cigar represents is pure simplicity. Creamy earthy notes followed by pepper flavors towards the end, outstanding draw, large volumes of smoke and good solid ash. Smoking these reminds me of the flavors I enjoyed when first becoming a cigar enthusiast. I'm sure Mr Clemens would agree, that taking a step back and enjoying a simple thing is much better than overpaying for the next latest and greatest gimmick to come out on the market. My only regret is that I did not buy more than one box when these were on sale! Truly a great cigar representing flavors from an earlier time. Do not hesitate, buy these as fast as you can! As with all things once the secret is out, the price will go up.

Fine smoke
