I am still new to the cigar world, but I can definitely say that Casa De Garcia is probably one of the most underrated cigars out there. They start with a consistent light smooth taste and have a unique aroma. I can say for sure I tasted some bittersweet almonds with an earthy touch and even a scent of vanilla. I know it seems too much for this price, but I am placing this on my top 3 cigars list.

The taste of any cigar is influenced by the speed of smoking, but I have not yet seen such a cardinal difference as in this cigar. It usually takes me about an hour to smoke a robusto, and if you smoke this cigar at that speed, it will respond with hot pepper and a pronounced grassy taste. But if you stretch the smoking for one and a half to two hours, the pepper will disappear completely, and the taste will be soft, creamy and even a little sweet. It should be noted that it is difficult to tear off the band without damaging the wraper leaf. I advise you to tear off the first, not glued, third of the band from the very beginning. And when you finish smoking until the remnants of the band, additionally slightly heat the place of gluing with a lighter and carefully peel it off. And lastly, I would advise you to store them at a humidity closer to 65%, these cigars start to taste bitter at high humidity.

I used to like this cigar a lot as it has a unique floral/elegant aroma. But, from the recent box I got, it tastes so bland and the signature aroma was not there. It was my go-to "non-cuban" cigars but now am disappointed with the Oliva with the lackluster effort. I put it aside and will see if it will change after aging....but I doubt it.

Left to rest for a week at 69% humidity and I must say they are a really nice light earth biscuit bit of chocolate taste cigar would recommend for a first time cigar smoker goes nicely with a good cup of coffee with sugar and milk nice even burn just had to correct one's or twice but probably because I was so eager for another pull will definitely get more thanks to online cigars u make it affordable for everyone to be able to enjoy cigars at a reasonable price keep up the good work

Perfectly balanced cigar with a pronounced taste of not sweet, dark chocolate. 1/3 Starts with a slightly burning pepper - perfectly invigorates the receptors (after 1/3 the pepper disappears). The smell of spices and cedar, the taste of coffee and pastries, nuts in the background. 2/3 In the smell of spices with dominant vanilla. Dark chocolate, cream and good tobacco. 3/3 The last third combines all the best flavors of this cigar - dark chocolate, cakes, nuts. The strength of nicotine makes you dizzy and does not let you rush.
