Nice long, mild smoke.

My favorite.

Smoothies with a strong flavor

Nice burn

Good smoke but hard to keep lit.

Very mild with plenty of smoke,very tasty morning stick. Will.purchase again

Excellent!

was looking for the right cigar when sipping a good bourbon. These are perfect. Smooth flavor, easy draw, a relaxing smoke. Will buy again.

Quality is decent for the price. Smooth smoke. Mild flavor. I bought more than twice.

Great taste and nice burn

Good burn nice all the way through

Easy smoke

Terrific all day cigar. Excellent draw. Cool Down to the end. Fantastic value

i really like these cigars my only complaint is that the bands of which there are two, a blue over a white are so hard to remove because i like to smoke down below to the nub. i do recommend them other than that.

This is, in my opinion, VC's best smoke. Very smooth with no bite or after taste. Mild but tasty. The construction is always spot on. Never a draw issue. Try this smoke.

Great cigar

I have ordered these before as they are a good smoke for the price. Mild to medium, burns well & has a good flavor to the end. I smoke them playing golf but do not have to relight often.

Each smoke is consistently rolled, mild and great taste.

Excellent silky smooth with great deal of flavor at very low cost. Must try

Great smoke, would definitely buy again.

My favorite cigar bar none. Mild-medium, even burn and good price.

Excellent

Love them !!!!

Excellent cigar! Long, even burn, mellow flavors, and good down to he nub!

This cigar is mild ; the way I like.

This was a fantastic smoke. Much cheaper then the Gilberto Oliva reserva Blanc robusto that i some alot of and this cigar was very much along the lines of the off the chart Gilberto Oliva Reserva Blanc. 5/5 for sure . Great smoke and great value.

I have only had one at this point so I will come back and give my review after I have had a couple more to be fair. Hoping for the best.

Great flavor and good burn.

The dryer is usually very good

This cigar is sensational in taste and blend.

A great smooth smoke

Here it comes for the price this is a smooth easy drawing cigar flavors are mild as rated as for smoke or aroma i am not that knowledgeable a great value for your buck

NICE MILD SMOKE , BUT POOR OUTER WRAPPER, AND TOO MUCH PAPER WRAPPING.

Good burn. Lite as far as flavor and no heavy after taste.

Cigars are great the only thing that I don't like are the bands I have to use a knife to help get them off.

good value and cocnsistent

Good everyday smoke!

Cool smoke. Easy draw throughout.

It’s a good smoke for the money. The burn starts off with a flinty, peppery draw, but later on there are some floral notes. The stick burns well and keeps it together. Not a Padron, but a good value.

Good golf cigar. Especially for the price.

Very consistent in a very good draw

Flavor and shipping was great. Came in great time.

Excellent!

Nice flavor

Nice cigar.

Really well constructed, mild and tasty in a big smoke size. Good value. They won't be your favorite cigar but they are a good value-especially if you pick them up on sale as I did.

It had good smoke and draw but did not burn evenly

I must say the cigars are great. I do not however like the lack of customer service I received when trying to cancel the additional cigars that we accidentally order due to the secondary link that pops up like it is a game to get “ what I thought would be free” additional cigars. I attempted to contact your customer service only to find out you were closed and then the next day you systems were down. I did however receive to emails one saying your order is on the way and another one from a male (don’t remember the name) that said I was to late. I originally only ordered the sampler for $22 but with the additional ones from the the game it came up to $156. Then when I responded saying I liked the cigars but wished to pay half since your system was down and no one was able to help, I haven’t heard anything besides this message. So now you have my review

a nice relaxing smoke

Ok flavor but the draw was tight

Great choice for for the price

very good

great light smoke. consistent and smooth draw.

From a novice cigar smoker. The presentation is beautiful. The cigar smokes very well, holds its ash and is good to the end. Great golfing cigar, will get you through 9 holes. Will buy this again.

Great mild smoke. Reasonable cost, nice smoke for all occasions. I love the flavors, smooth and mellow and quite enjoyable with black coffee as a morning Mild smoke

Nice mild smoke, burns even, would buy again

Firm, smooth, reliable, touch of spice, value priced and one of my favorites

Very good cigar for the price. Was surprised how good it was.

Light with a rich taste

Smooth enjoyable smoke.

I was first introduced to the Victor Sinclair 55 Imperial Connecticut at the Kentucky Derby in 2019 and it has become a go to cigar ever since. Good Wrap and good smoke!

It was a smooth light smoke .

For the money, a smooth and satisfying smoke. Would def buy again!

good

Smooth draw Mild and pleasant Tastes wonderful

Excellent smoke!

Really, enjoyed . Have two friends wanted me to order them a. Box when I send in my next order

First time trying this cigar and I wasn’t disappointed! This is a smooth mild to mild medium smoke. I will definitely keep these stocked in my humidor.

A very fine cigar. Mild and smooth to draw.

A great quantity everyday cigar at a very reasonable price

I recommended to people who love something like this mild and delicious cigars

Ordered 4 times now. I like this cigar. Little more than a mild smoke.

Nice smooth tasting cigar

Victor Sinclair is always a great choice. Great price. Awesome smoke. Have rarely been disappointed with this brand. A total winner.

At first light I really liked the flavor & easy draw: smooth, rich tobacco flavor, yet mild. I've now smoked about six and find the construction to be the worst of any cigar I've tried! The outer layer is very thin and keeps cracking, even after a month in the humidor. By the last third the loosely packed leaves start falling apart to the extent that it cannot be smoked. This may be due to the double toro size. The three stars are only for flavor. I would not recommend this cigar.

Great cigar! Taste was pleasant and burned evenly!

Outstanding

In my opinion it’s underrated and priced right . Nice finish

Mild to medium, a great cigar and you can't beat the value. Perfect burn and great flavor throughout.

Good flavor, nice ash

Great smoke

Ok

Excellent cigar!

A really well balanced conneticut cigar. Just the right amount of body and spice. Well worth the price. Construction and burn are spot on.

Mild and mellow, I'm usually a Maduro-Double Maduro-Oscuro type of guy, but got these to give Connecticut wrapper a go. They're just a Lovely Change of Pace for Me, stunningly good draw, superb burn line. Just like all the Victor Sinclair's I've had before ( except Clasicos ), They are Very Tasty cigars and a Supreme Value to boot. VCT in western MO

Love the mellow taste and the slow even burn

Very good

My first time buying these, good mild smoke, burn was good. Fine for the golf course. Would buy again when on sale

Nice cigar for the money. Good deal.

Bought these as a present for a friend. As soon as he got them he was out on the deck enjoying it. The smile on his face said it all. I've received at least a dozen "thanks, best present I could have got".

Very nice

Good cigar

Not 90 rated but better than average everyday smoke.

I have always enjoyed VS cigars. Decent smoke and very nice on the wallet. I purchased a five pack to give em a try. Very mellow and they were an easy draw. I was happy with the construction, as it burned evenly. They were the perfect cigar when you want a mellow smoke while you are thinking about what you gotta do for the rest of the day. Enjoy

Great taste with a smooth scent

Good cigar

Nice Smoke at a good price

It’s a great cigar with an even better price

Thw price won't poje your eye out! Excellent smoke for a daily indulgence!

Can’t go wrong with VS. Flavorful Dominican cigar at the right price.

Good smoke!!

Nice length, smooth smoking, burns very even. Nice mild cigar.

Try it You will like the way it burns and the sweet tobacco flavores

Nice smooth taste. Burns nice and slow. Well made cigar

THIS WAS A FANTASTIC CIGAR. IT BURNED EVENLY AND I FOUND IT TO HAVE A FANTASTIC FLAVOR. GOOD CIGAR!!

Love them need to order some more too:)

Got a taste of these in a freebie sampler...and just had to buy a box! Always a good taste and draw, with a decent burn. Damn good smoke for the price. Will definitely be ordering more

Tastefully mellow companion to working around the yard.

Good flavor the wrapper cracks. Vey dry right away.

Even burn, long smoke, and tastes better the longer it ages in a humidor.

I'm a mild to medium Dominican cigar guy. I'd smoke Montecristos nonstop if I didn't need to do things like buy food & beer and pay the mortgage. Just smoked one of these after 2 days in the humidor after getting it off the truck. Great burn line, lots of smoke and held the ash until i didn't want to risk it falling on my desk. Its not going to wow with complex flavors (note that I could spend $1k at Dean & Deluca and couldn't get half the flavors some bloggers get out of a cigar) but its a nice mild medium smoke with some cream and no off flavors that hit the spot while I sat at my desk being my own buttonmonkey. Really more like 3.5 stars.

For the $ this was a decent smoke. Slow even burn the whole way. More mild than medium. Would buy again.

A little harsh at 1st but ok

Good smoke

A really nice offering from Victor Sinclair. Very smooth with a slight sweetness, it builds in body throughout but maintains its smooth quality. No bitterness in the second half, which plagues some other Connecticuts. Will definitely re-order.

Great smoke. It’s a pleasure doing business with C.I.

Nice smoke, burned really nicely. Smooth and mild.

tastes great and we like the prompt shipping time after the purchase is made

I smoke a cigar at my friends house and they are not what Iexpeted

Very pleasing smoke. Nice construction and looks. Burns evenly...the ash went on and on. You have to take a couple of draws to get a satisfying amount of smoke but it is smooth and flavorful. I liked this cigar late in the afternoon after a day of work. I will most likely order these again. I got the VS travel humidor with the smokes so I hit a home run with this selection.

Bought this as a combo with a VS travel humidor. All I wanted was the humidor so the 5 pack was a bonus, and what a bonus! Smoked one a few days after they arrived. First impression was a rather hard one to light up properly. The filler refused to burn at first light so I was treated to a cigar that wanted to canoe, but a few corrective lights fixed it. After that, it was a perfect burn that needed no re lights down to the last third when I decided to put it out. The flavor is mild at first with some cream and toast up front and a bit earthy as it got to the halfway point. Right there the flavor intensified a bit but it remained consistent with its creaminess. Smoke output was very good and it retained the ash up to its halfway point revealing a what I call the “cone of perfection”. This is no award-winning stick, but it’s a hell of a stick for the money. I’ve smoked way more expensive cigars that don’t deliver this good burn and consistency. I think this is a good cigar to have daily with some coffee or like I did, paired with some good rye whiskey.

These are average smokes at best. Nothing noteworthy about them. They are good enough to smoke on occasion if the price is right but not good enough for an everyday smoke.

Excellent everyday smoke at reasonable price.

Good

Satisfying smoke for the price!

These are very good smokes especially for the price

Great

this cigar has a nice mild flavor, creamy. It is very reasonably priced. Might be my "go to" cigar for me.

At your current price I will continue to make the same purchase.

What a great smoke. I got these on a Joe Cigar deal. I’ll definitely buy them again.

The cigar burns well throughout and taste fine

A very smooth and creamy smoke. Would give it a 5 if it burned better but It may be humidity

I use a punch so a good draw, ash is white and for most of the time a good burn. Fine cigar that I smoke at least one every two days. My go to cigar after a fine meal. Taste is a smooth oak flavor could be cedar. My experience is one to two ciga a day of various makers..

Got a great deal on these and as always the delivery was fast. So far I have attempted to smoke several and each time the draw is all but impossible, they don't stay lit and the burn is anything but even. Not the experience I like while sitting down to smoke. I was encouraged slightly after spending some time messaging out the hard places and gently rolling until it "loosened up". Still, after about two thirds consumed it went out again. My first experience with VS has not been that enjoyable...not sure if this is due to poor rolling or issues with humidity control or both? IMO, the flavor and experience doesn't measure up to my favorites, Romeo y Julieta Real Torro. This is what I like about cigars, so many brands, types and flavors to try. Happy to have a full humidor the day after Christmas! Cheers!

Not a big Connecticut guy, but when I go there I am looking for extra flavor! This is it !

Consistently good, burns well and maintained it throughout.

Nice and mild, burned really well but had some "fragile" wrappers on a few. I'd buy again.

Great Morning or afternoon cigar. Creamy and smooth. Smoke till the end. Nice ash and burn.

These cigars were tasteless. More important than that, the outside of the cigar would not burn; it only burned down the center. I returned them to CI. As always, CI's customer service is outstanding.

Defect, worth every penny if you find them on sale.

I will buy again if same low price is offered.

I bought these cigars and tried to smoke two from different packs. Couldn't keep either lit. Tried to return and all kinds of excuses given. I'll never buy cigars from this place again!

These cigars are among the best I have bought. These burn the best I have seen. They taste absolutely heavenly. I think I have found my new cigar.

hard draw,not very flavorful,not terrible,but don't recommend

Very tight roll hard to draw on & difficult to keep lit.Very disappointing. I would not purchase again at half the price!

Great cigar for the price.

burns well and even nice flavors thru out.Good smoke for the price.

Nice mellow smoke. I enjoy a mild to medium and this one fits the bill. From the first to the last third there is a consistent taste.

Mild with flavor and good burn

I will continue to purchase. Nice mellow enjoyable. Not refined but very excellent everyday smoke.

An excellent cigar

very good smoke and one of my new go to's good quality and value. would reccomend.

Ok to good cigar

Great cigars AWSOME even burn sooooo mild. Excellent but

I think this cigar has a smooth long lasting coolness to it, very enjoyable!

I will buy this cigar again. A real surprise and a treat. Awesome smoke for the garden but holds up just as well on the golf course and still be a great, relaxing smoke on the porch after supper. Flavorful from start to finish Great flavor, great construction and a great price!

My first box purchase from CI and I really liked this Connecticut from VS. A little more toward medium than I expected, but good smoke, good flavor. Will definitely buy again.

The VS 55 Imperial Connecticut is an exceptional cigar. It is well made and burns evenly. It has a well rounded flavor and creamy finish.

A semi-difficult burn through the first 1/2 resulted in an ash that looked like a fright wig. Things seemed better for the last third, but the smell and ash-like taste, was something akin to smoking a rolled-up newspaper.
