El Duque Cognac

Cigars weren't as fresh as expected. Some smoked good while others had a bad after taste to them. They also didn't evenly ash well but smelled delicious. Overall, good smoke.

Very well made cigar, good burn, flavorful, mild. If I didn't know the price I would guess it was a more expensive cigar. Great everyday smoke I would call this cigar a sleeper in the cigar community

This is my 1st time with El Duque. Very good cigars for every day, golf or mowing. Nice draw, mild. I plan on restocking my humidor with more El Duques

Like others have said, the individual glass cases break doing shipping leaving a bunch of broken glass in box and around cigars. Other than that these are good for the price. I find them to be more on the light side and would do good as an everyday smoke. Can also build a pretty long ash with them as well which helps lengthen the smoke.

A nice mild and everyday smoke! At a great price point!!! Enjoy!!!

Little stronger than Im used to but good smoke, holds together well,good aroma and lasts good hr.

The flavor use to be much stronger this bundle I got was not so much. K.G.

Great Tubos, however when I received the package of 20, 12 tubos were broken leaving glass in the Corona's. I had to discard them. I asked for a replacement but received no reply from CI.

I have always enjoyed buying from CI, this purchase just goes to show how amazing CI is and the quality of their cigars! R/

I love them

I have enjoyed these cigars for many years, however, several orders have arrived severely damaged. They were very poorly packed in the shipping box with little to no protection or padding. In discussion with your staff about this I was pleased to find the past two orders very well packaged and I was given a coupon for a discount on the last order. These cigars are an excellent value, though have been too dry upon arrival despite being tubos. Otherwise, a very nice smoke. Dan

Very smooth

My husband loves these cigars

Easy going cigar with light touch of cognac and lots of smoke

Nice cigar medium bodied. have had a couple that were hard to draw, very tightly rolled.

Not really a infused cigar. Very weak in aroma and taste.

there was broken glass when it was delivered. had to wash every tube and the cigars were so dry that they cracked

The only bad thing about these cigars is they go on backorder and take a while to come in.

They are great

a good working cigar. I like them when I mow several acres or am machine splitting firewood.

Good tabacoo flavor but week on cognac taste.

For the price, the cigars really are not bad. Probably would have given four stars, but had to throw a couple of cigars away because of all the broken glass from the two shattered tubos. Did not want to take a chance of putting glass shards in my mouth.

This is how I personally grade a cigar. 0-2 points for the following: Appearance, Flavor, Burn, Smoke and Price. Then divide by 2. Appearance: 2. it is in a glass "tubo" which has all the characteristics of glass therefore you can clearly see the cigar and display it, but then again it is glass and breaks so don’t place it in your back pocket. Good construction.Flavor:1.Mild cigar, even though it has a hint of Cognac at times it can be a bit harsh. Burn: 1. Easy draw, but at times burns hot and you need to relight it if unattended. Smoke:2. Lots of smoke with nice aromatic scent which I enjoy and one of the reasons why I smoke cigars. Price: 2. I like a good bargain but I believe in “you get what you pay for” and the higher the price, the higher the expectations. So 2+1+1+2+2 divided by 2. So with that said a total point score of 4. So not bad deal, not bad at all.

Lacks flavor. Feels like smoking a super mild short filler cigar dipped in sweet liquor

Was not very satisfied with these cigars. The overpowering flavors and lack of aromas were not what I was looking for in the cognac cigar. Will not be buying these again.

Nice draw and aroma, burns evenly and has a delightful taste. The only drawback I could find is that every time I have placed an order some of the glass vials come broken therefore damaging the cigar. careful packing should be obseved, I mean, how are wine bottles packed into their case? They are packed by not allowing glass against glass but these cigars are not packed like they should be. There is a competitor cigar company that has a similar product and the cigars come packed in a plastic tube. I would say that these glass vials should be packed not touching each other.

Good smoke flavor is great cheap price

I have enjoyed these inexpensive cigars for years, they help make the Summer more enjoyable in particular after mowing the lawn.

I have ordered this cigar many times in the past and it has been FANTASTIC however this batch disappointed me. They were dry flavorless and the wrapper unraveled during smoking. I hope it was just this batch

It a very good every day stick at a reasonable price

One of my affordable favorites

could not tell they were cognac ,a few were brittle

A very mello mild every day smoke I just wish the cognac part was a little more.Also a very good price.

This cigar has a very hard draw and won't stay lit also the flavor is a little harsh and not worth the price i would not buy these cigars again or would i recommend them

Great everyday for the casual smoker.

This is a good cigar and the price is great. A mild smoke along with the cognac. Can't go wrong.

some of the cigars were stale and some were good.i don't know if I would order them again

Several of my friend have tried Duque and agree with my assessment. It's a damn good smoke. No harsh bite or after taste. Several lady friends have commented on the aroma of how good it smells. Try em it's worth it.

Cognac infused. smooth fast burning cigar. Generally, I smoke Gurkha Grand Reserve but with the recent tighting of the belt my wife introduced me to El Duque and I am satisfied.

This is a mild smoke with a hint of cognac coming through. For the price you can't find a better cigar.

El Duque Cognac Double Corona Tubos --Great!

A good smoke for the price. Love the cognac taste and aroma. A real keeper. Long lasting smoke too.

I am a casual smoker and I have been purchasing these cigars for about 2 or 3 years now. Good tasting cigars for the everyday end of the day relaxing. Dealing with Cigars International is always a pleasure because my order is processed and shipped, arriving as promised. Thanks

I like this cigar over many higher priced cigars. Good construction, nice burn , mild and pleasant . I will order these cigars again.
