Green

These cigars are constructed very nice. Great draw, nice looking, but they taste NASTY. I don't know how anyone could smoke these. I'm hoping they are just not properly aged. I will keep them in my humidor for a year and see if that helps. 8.74 rating ?? Must be someone who smokes White Owls or Phillies and even they are better. Don't waste your money.

the best every day cigar I have tried to date

If you want an every day anytime cigar at a great price, with good flavor, good burn and good draw, you will not beat this one. If you do, please let me in on it!!

exceeded my expections

I can't believe the taste, draw and burn can be this reasonably priced. Don't overlook this gem.

Great smoke, great price!

I lit this guy up at the Bellagio in Vegas while my wife was running around playing nickel slots. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I bought one of the 20 cigar samplers and found this to be one of the moist cigars that came ready to smoke. Draw was excellent, burn was even, taste was very smooth and creamy. My only complaint is that there was only one of these in the sampler... I'm definitely going to buy more.

This review was written about Occidental Reserve Connecticut Toro by A. Puente of VISALIA, CA on January 24, 2008

Surprisingly tasty, exceeded expectations.

I "won" a 10-pack of these on CigarAuctioneer when I was the only bidder, so I didn't have the highest of expectations when I lit my first one up. Boy, was I surprised! Smooth and creamy with just the right touch of sweetness-very enjoyable to smoke. It has piqued my interest in trying more of this line.

"the best everyday smoke to date"

I swear, if there was a true blind test, comparing this cigar with a super premium mild,(such as Mc,u,no,hoo), there would be little difference in the ratings, occidental might even win. I have smoked half of my bundle, and I have found my everyday cigar. If you enjoy mild cigars, you cannot do any better.

Superb

SUPERB little Robusto. Do try the Gigantes though as they are even better. In public it may be better to cut the Gigantes down a bit so as not to look a plank.

A great MILD smoke

Found these at a cigar store in Key West...paid retail (appx $85 for 25). One of the better cigars I have found for a nominal price.

The best tasting cigar that I ever had

This Cigar is by far the best tasting cigar I have had in many years, and I hope it is around until I am long gone. D.W.

Occidental Reserves Presendente

This cigar far exceeded my wildest expections, As far as expensive it is not and well worth the price, Once again I am very well pleased with the taste as compared to the all to pricey cigars twice the price. Just try a bundle and you will be very very surprised.

sUPERB

If these are another of Gary's 'go to' daily cigars like the Flor de Oliva naturals then he is a lucky man. These are superb, even if I did have to cut some of them down to a more English size so as not to feel inadequate smoking them in public. Yes, penis extenders they may look like, but a fantastic cigar in the hand . ROY.R England

one of the best smokes I have found!

I have been smoking hand made cigars for over 25 years. This cigar does not tast like a bundle cigar. It is very well made with a beautiful wrapper and a great leather and spice flavor. I highly recommend this cigar.

This review was written about Occidental Reserve Connecticut Churchill by James Haskin of Gastonia NC on July 17, 2006

Great everyday cigar!

I have finally found my everyday cigar! Consistent burn, draw and a wonderful mild yet rich flavor. I've just ordered my next bundle:) None of your friends will believe this cigar costs less than 2.5/smoke, so don't tell'em.

This review was written about Occidental Reserve Connecticut Torpedo by John Murphy of CA on June 15, 2006

Not bad but not for the price.

Not a bad smoke infact I would buy a bundle if the price was cheaper, its more like a $25.00 bundle not at $45.00. Smooth throughout nice burn and good finish.

This review was written about Occidental Reserve Connecticut Robusto 3 Pack by chris of NYC on March 4, 2006

Spotty Construction

These cigars are good but the construction of the Torpedo leaves a lot to be desired. When the the tip isn't crammed full of tobacco, it's a very good smoke, if you like mild cigars, which I do. The silky-smooth wrapper would do justice to cigars costing 3 times as much. They smoke well right down to the wrapper, but stay away from the torpedo -- apparently the expertise needed to build them isn't in place. However, because I like them and think they deserve another chance, I bought another batch but this time I ordered Toro's.

Smooth light and tasty
