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.
Plenty of flavor, Medium wrapper, Well packed. Nitpicking here would be some canoeing during first half, but easy to smoke out of it. No mouth or lung burn. Can pretty much take this down to the last inch to inch and a half... I would recommend this if you are looking for a good humidor filler, and party cigar. Will not break the bank, and I have never received a complaint...

I ordered these to give them a try strictly for the price special on Cigar FU. Truly a great smoke for the money and a great value! You need to try these, they are a great everyday smoke to rotate into your humidor.

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.

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.

Dear CI, Please keep this forever . . . .
Oct 04, 2016
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.

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.

Everyday smoke for Nub enthusiasts
Nov 28, 2015
I have been a Nub fan since my first smoke so the plug for these Gordo 2's caught my eye. Preferring the rich smoothness of the habano variant, these were my trial for the Gordo 2s. I couldn't believe how good these "seconds" were! With their price point and quality, these will be a regular purchase.

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.

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 ...

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.
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?????
