Whoa, baby. These bulbous and stout suckers are the definition of large and in charge. Crafted by one of the hottest manufacturers in Nicaragua, these cigars are legit across the board. Hell, most of 'em I can't find a damn thing wrong with. Top-notch wrappers join forces with premium long-fillers for an experience as worthy as their banded brethren. I ain't complainin' either because I can't stop puffin' on one after another. Sorry, I can't spill the beans on which brand or blend they are, but honestly, just give these a good once over and the dots should begin connecting quite easily. And whichever one gets your juices flowin', you can expect a rich, slow-burning experience for a fraction of normal retails. Don't delay, I expect these to move faster than the salad bar at a vegan convention.
These are a average smoke. They burn really well. The construction is above average. I bought these on MMAO so I got a great deal. Would I buy these as a first? No. But will I buy these as a 2nd again? Most certainly! The taste is really bland. But as a smoke on my way home from work. These can handle that. Yes I love alot flavor in my gars. But a well made smoke can kind of nice too. Thanks CI😎

Great cigar
Mar 17, 2018
I have purchased these cigars several times, and I have found that the only time the cigars did not meet expectations, the fault was mine. I did not have them humidified correctly. When treated right, I found the cigars to be excellent, especially for the price. Very tasty, held the ash and smoked cool. No complaints here.

Tasty quick smoke
Apr 21, 2017
I like to try other cigars quite a bit. That is how I found my favorite that I have been smoking for some years now. However, ordered 1 bundle of these as they were offered and fell in love with this cigar. Has not replaced my favorite, but it is a close second. It has a great taste and it is a quick smoke. Next order was 5 bundles and now I am ordering more.

Cannot tell a lie
Apr 13, 2017
Crazy good for the price. I have bought these multiple times. Great taste, great burn, long slow cool draws. Was half tempted not to write a review just so you guys wouldn't buy them all up. lol I can leave these out in my "public" humidor for when friends come and they get a great smoke and it doesn't cost me much, or smoke them myself when I don't have a full 2 hours to burn.

Though not sophisticated or elegant in flavor, it's above average, and good as a (relatively) quick smoke. In the medium range, with consistent good draw and construction. 5-stars, for what it is ... not a boutique cigar.

Nice soft start. Sweet undertone from the first puff. A little harshness at about 25%, but this first smoke was right out of the shipping box. I expect a much smoother smoke after a few weeks in the humidor. Compares well with the banded versions that I've smoked. Good smoke, good ash. Good to a stub. Medium throughout with a little spice in the background.

Oct 12, 2016
The taste on these guys is terrific, esp. considering the price. However, the burn is a little off on some them. Makes me appreciate the expertise of the folks who inspect these before they leave the factory that they can detect the small flaws that might show up when the cigar is smoked.

Nutty and creamy, slight leather. All good flavor
Oct 12, 2016
Smoked ROTT (right off the truck), Great flavor on light up, a tad dry but to be expected. Creamy and nutty in the 20-25 minutes I smoked. Probably get more smoking time after they rest for a month, but no lack of flavor and smooth to the Nub. I will order again.

Dear CI, Please keep this forever . . . .

1st time and 2nd time I ordered a box, 3rd time I ordered 2 boxes at the same time. This is the only time I have ever ordered 2 boxes of the same cigar. Great construction, draw, smell and it has given me a new found appreciation for the 60 gauge. Now when I have a smaller gauge I feel like I'm being cheated. lol These are awesome, I don't know how many platitudes or superlatives I can offer but I just want to say . . . . . please don't discontinue them.

Fair to partly cloudy
Oct 01, 2016
This is my first time ordering these - they just arrived today. Smoked the first one this afternoon and now I'm smoking my second one. They are exactly what you pay for - inexpensive and mediocre in taste and flavor. Light well, draw is loose, so tons of smoke, decent flavor and burn fast, but even and will last about 45 mins. Don't expect to burn a long ash unless you want to dump it in your lap. I personally wouldn't smoke them everyday, but would pass them out to friends who are not so experienced cigar smokers or if I want to enjoy a quick smoke.

I bought these with no expectations and honestly for the money you can't go wrong. Order a bundle and if you don't like them your friends who don't smoke cigars will think they're top notch anyways. The caps cracked on a few so far but still smokeable and a good everyday cigar for not much money.

The 58 is great!!
Jul 22, 2016
I ordered a bundle of the Connecticut 58 Gordo because I have wanted to give the "stubby" cigars a try. The first one I smoked I had cut the cap before smoking. The draw was super easy to the point that the cigar seemed to burn hot from the beginning. Since then I have smoked several more but I have only punched the cap. All of them have had an easy draw but have not been hot. The copious amount of smoke is great and the flavor superb. I am considering trying one of the "real ones" but these are so good for a fraction of the price I am not sure I want to waste the money. Totally recommend these.

Jul 17, 2016
With notes of earth, natural, pepper, leather, wood and walnut. its consistency will be slightly bitter and spicy but at the same time with an average force. the burn is even with a calm combustion it just flowed well smoke. its construction is delicate with a color chiaroscuro and barely be noticed part of his veins, in conclusion is a good cigar but never overtake Nub cameroon from Oliva.

Short and Sweet!
Jun 28, 2016
I tried a few of the regular Cameroon Nub's at a local cigar shop, then bought a mazo of the seconds from CI. Honestly, the only noticable difference between the branded one and the 2nd is the wrapper. The wrap on the 2nd is darker and shows lots of spotting. Doesn't have the usual distinctive Cameroon appearance. But hey, you shouldn't buy a cigar for looks, but for how it smokes. And these smoke pretty much the same as the brand ones. Close your eyes, think of the savings, inhale, and you won't notice the difference. Definately worth the buy.

Short But tasty
Jun 21, 2016
Found these to be a little too short -- out of the 4 inch length I got maybe 3-1/4 inches of smoke (and some burned fingers). Nice for the price but I don't think I'll be ordering these again.

I initially thought the Gordo's would be a nice option for a quick smoke, however on firing the first one up I found that the wrappers are dry and quickly unravel making the Gordo mostly un-smokeable.
I would not repurchase these because of that reason.

Good Stick!!
May 12, 2016
Well, I just looked over these little Jems and I must say very impressed. I would never think they were seconds.
Just fired her up. WOW!!! very good. Not a Olivia Nub. But I'll take it for the $$.. Good Job CI..

great stick for great price

I'm not sure why these are considered seconds. Other than lacking a band there is no noticeable difference. I have ordered three times and the quality is consistent. Will order again.

Only this missing is a band.
Apr 21, 2016
I have been looking for a flaw. I have a few left, but so far can't find why they are called seconds. They are a milder Nic with great taste. I don't care who makes them and enjoy the price break without the cigar band telling me. Not a second in my mind at all.

Definitely seconds
Apr 19, 2016
These were harsh. Some would not stay lit. Some would 'core'... meaning they burned right through a little part of the middle and left the rest of the cigar worthless.
YUCK

This is my 4th purchase of these. i enjoy the maduro and the cameroon. The cameroon is my favorite and i prefer the capped over the torpedo. My friends love them also - they take all of mine! A great medium body cigar with lots of flavor. i will order these on a regular basis.

Love seconds
Feb 15, 2016
I love seconds, I love Oliva cigars, and I especially like the nubs. I didn't smoke them at first, they sounded gimmicky, but these little beauties are delicious. I especially like the Connecticut. Every one has drawn and smoked perfectly, indistinguishable from the primeros.

EH ?
Feb 11, 2016
While the taste is there out of the bundle 60% burned unevenly and tunneled. The others were spot on so buyer beware. I think a smaller ring gauge would benefit well.

Good Daily/Traveling Goto Cigar
Dec 07, 2015
If you are anything like me you have a number of special sticks in the box that you want to be able to savor. For instances where you just want a smoke to unwind/something to travel with, this fits that bill rather nicely.

Loving these gordo 2nds
Nov 18, 2015
I love a fat smoke. Nub is one of my faves. But these gordo 2nds are tasty, but at a much lower price. If you're a volume smoker looking for a great value, these are perfect!

Cameroon or Habano excellent deal
Nov 11, 2015
Since the "NUB" was introduced I have liked them all. Of course I have a preference. Always looking for a deal I would wait for a special or bid the auctions to get a better deal. But wait no longer. Seconds my posterior. You have to look to find the blemish. These are one of the best values, period.
A great 45 minutes smoke for anywhere anytime. If I cant finish it as I would like, it doesn't hurt to stub it out. For less than half the cost of it's 1st's I can just lite up another later on.
If you have not tried the NUB get a sampler select your favorite wrappers and return for a great savings.
Thanks CI for an outstanding deal.

Good smoke for the price

exactly what you would expect from a "factory second". Good taste, imperfect wrapper and a moderate to fast burn.

Gordo 2nds - great value
Oct 26, 2015
Really great cigar value. A few in the bundle may have a slight color change, or other wrapper imperfection, but these are the perfect daily smokes. Great burn and flavor that you would expect from a great Nicaraguan cigar.

A very good smoke
Sep 09, 2015
The leather and some spice was really enjoyable. Lots of smoke and an even burn ensure the cigar is less trouble and more relaxing.
This smoke goes well (for me) with a sour mash whiskey, or a stout dark beer.
For the cost this is a really good bang for the buck.

Delicioso
Sep 01, 2015
DO NOT MISS OUT ON THESE! Such a great buy on a premium cigar. You will burn these past the label (if they had one) until you fingers burn. Thanks CI for carrying these.

A good buy
Aug 22, 2015
I just started smoking cigars again so I took a chance on these. I couldn't be happier. They have a good smooth flavor, burn evenly and provide a nice relaxing smoke. Will I buy again, heck yeah. Should you buy some? No. Then I won't miss out on this great smoke!!!!
I wish I more smoking experience to compare them to other cigars, but I don't. Maybe in a couple more months I can give some comparisons. Until then smoke on ...

For the price it works
Aug 18, 2015
Tons of smoke and good draw. Kind of a quick burn which I wasn't expecting as Nubs burn longer. However for the price can't beat it. I would recommend for a smoker that likes immediate flavor and a hearty burn.

Aug 04, 2015
All or very close to the full taste of their more costly "brothers" at a more affordable price. The only discrepancy I've noticed is sometimes the burn isn't even outside and inside the cigar. Other than that, a nice cigar.

Cheap daily smoke
Jul 04, 2015
good flavor and smoke for the price. Inconsistent wrapper quality and burn. Some were so hard to draw it was actually tiring to smoke, while others were ok.
Customer Testimonials
These are awesome! Had 1 stinker so far; I let the others rest in my humidor for 6 weeks. Tasted and smoked just like the Oliva Nub maduro I paid twice as much for.
AA of hesperia, CA
Great cigar for the price; will order again.
CP of North Attleboro, MA
I am so glad I took a chance with these. I am placing my next order today. Great stuff!
MW of Hamden, CT
Nice little smokes for the money! I was a little skeptical at first until I unwrapped one. Nice solid feel, good wrapper slightly darker than an EMS. Nice draw and burn. I don't tell anyone what they cost and they think its one of the top shelf brands. A good solid everyday cigar. I am ordering more after I send this review. As always thank you CI for another hidden gem.
GS of WORCESTER, MA
Good everyday cigar, highly recommend.
RS of Richland, MO
If you are on the fence about ordering some of these fatties, well they are worth it. I tried the Habano plus and they were excellent. A medium to full smoke and the flavor profile is great. Get your hands on some of these!
AC of Clovis, CA
Love these little guys! As authentic as you can get! If you like the NUB or Oliva Connecticut blends you will love these. I've bought at least 8 packs over the past year or so and they are great little short stories! Very well made.
JM of Aldie, VA
FRIGGIN GORDOS ARE GREAT! Real smooth and earthy. Easy on the palate. Enjoyable to the last sixteenth of an inch. They get me to the bank and back with all the savings.
FZ of WILLOUGHBY HILLS, OH
Seriously good cigars. Why pay extra just for a band with a name on it, when you could have these and save that $$ for something else? I could honestly be happy with a humidor full of these. Stock up while you can.
DS of CASEY, IL
I would say a medium to full smoke. Great smoke! Woodsey, peppery with a hint of leather.
SC of Perry, GA
These babies are great. I fired one up as soon as I got them in my hands. Beautiful construction, solid in my hand. Cold draw was really good and some of the flavors came through. After lighting it had an even burn, great ash and great flavors presenting spice, cedar, coffee and a hint of sweetness. My second one, which was during my lunch break was just as delicious as the first. I will certainly be ordering these babies again.
VO of Colonial Heights, VA
Didn't notice how small they are until I got them, veritable Nubs. Taste disappointing too.
JS of Wadena, IA
great cigar, especially for the price........one that can stand up to a Nub and less than half the price! :-)
SG of VANCOUVER, WA
Bought 466 Habanos... seriously if these are 2nds would love to know why. Thanks CI hope these are always available to keep a stash in the humidor.
JB of San Diego, CA
REALLY GLAD I STUMBLED ONTO THESE WHILE DIGGING A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THE CI WEBSITE OPTIONS [$2-$4...CAMEROON,ETC]. NOT SURE WHY THESE AREN'T UNDER THE EASILY ACCESSIBLE 'NAME BRAND 2NDS'...THE NICARAGUAN 90+ AND LIGERO 2NDS ARE...DON'T SEE WHY THESE WOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY, BUT GLAD THAT THEY ARE. I WANT THEM AVAILABLE FOR MY MONTHLY PURCHASE FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. I GUESS I COULD BE SPILLING THE BEANS ON SOME BIG, SUPER SECRET SOCIETY OF 2ND HUNTERS...BUT IF YOU'RE READING THIS, YOU FOUND THEM THE SAME WAY I DID. IF YOU DIDN'T...THESE AREN'T THE DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
SS of LAS VEGAS, NV
I need a second humidor just to buy more of these. Need I say more?
MH of Olney, IL
These fatty beauties are slow burning and full of flavor. I just put down my 3rd 66 ring habano fatty and I can't get enough. 9 out of 10 rating for me. You get absolute value for your buck!
MS of San Diego, CA
These taste exactly like the 1st's and everyone should know which ones these are, based off the size description. Smoked two already and man I am glad I purchased a box of these. I will say that the wrapper on one was coming off during the smoke but again they are 2nds.
JD of LONG BEACH, CA
These make me want to take out a loan, and buy as many as I can, and build a giant humi to store them. You never know when they will run out.
TV of JACKSONVILLE, FL
Everyone should be able to figure out the name brand of these, if not look at the product description above and to the left. I bought 3 bundles, 1 Extra Fuerte habano and the 466 habano Gordo's, the extra "F" (hint-hint) was excellent ROTT, burned evenly, slowly copious amounts of smoke, woody, spicy and peppery through the nose, slight sweetness not harsh or rough, I would say a medium to full smoke, the 466 ROTT the wrapper started to fall apart but was a good smoke, after a week in the humi the next one was perfect, slight woodiness, lots of good tobacco flavors but on the mild side of a medium cigar, burnt evenly and slowly with lots of smoke, these are so good I ordered 3 more bundles of the extra fuerte, and hope to be able to get more when my supplies start to dwindle! at little over 2 bucks a piece??? NO-BRAINER!! versus 7 to 8 bucks?????
