Excellent cigar for the price. Slow burning, easy drawing, nice flavor.

Not quite the smoke I expected. None of the usual Aganorsa creaminess, just an unusual peppery burn the first third, then the cigar smooths out some and the pepper blends in to a citrusy, earthy kind of taste. I am not sure if more time in the humidor will smooth out the rough edges on this one, but that is what I am trying, for now smoking one every other week to see. I have never been critical of a Casa Fernandez stick before and it feels strange not to be giving praise, but I have smoked 2 and both were essentially the same.

I received one of these in a Platinum sampler. So far this was the worst of all that I have smoked from that sampler. The satin band around the foot of the cigar was so tight that it did not want to come off to light the cigar. It was very easy to light and started out nicely. Within a few puffs the wrapper started to crack and tear off. The flavor was off to a good start. But as others have noted the flavor changed from a smooth to a very harsh about a third of the way into the cigar. The wrapper continued to crack and tear away from the cigar making it difficult to hold together. By the time I got 2/3 of the way down it became very bitter and unsmokeable. I give it two stars because it did have a good draw but its just not one I would try again. I would definitely NOT recommend this one nor would I go out of my way to buy one.

Excellent mild to medium cigar. Only issue I have - they burn so slow and smooth that you need to allow a lot of time to smoke one!

I bought this for a mild morning smoke. Starts off nice but has a sour finish. Will not buy afain

To me, this wasn't the best I've had, but it sure wasn't the worst. It was a good all around stogie and I'd smoke it again. But I will add that there was nothing that made me look at the cigar and say, "wow". It was just an average cigar that I would consider mild and average flavor.

This is a very good cigar. It was easy to light and had a great draw. Flavor was complex but not bold. This is for those occasions when you have time to enjoy it.

Nice smoke, not extremely complex but flavorful. Good smoke for afternoon or golf course. I'd rate it mild-med (6.5 on 1-10 scale). BTW...perfect burn

A truly nice smoke.

Out of the wrapper, this cigar had the aroma of an old, wooden grainery- a very pleasant scent. I recommended this stick for special occasions because you'll need to carve out an hour to smoke it. It has a mildly peppered and mild to medium smoke, and a very nice draw with an even burn.

I tried this cigar on the golf course during a humid day, it was very smooth and enjoying for the first half but it came apart on the 2nd half, could have been due to being dropped but did not hold up to others I have tried

it was a little harsh but put together well. Smoked it on the golf course and it held up well.

Had this cigar sitting and enjoying a beautiful day, this cigar made the day even better. Easy to light, smooth even draw, mild and a great taste! No harsh aftertaste. This is a very enjoyable cigar, I like mild to Med. and this cigar was perfect. This cigar was so good, I smoked it all the way down!! Enjoy.. I highly recommend!!

A very nice smoke. Good looking cigar. Lit easy and burned evenly throughout. Smooth draw with mild to medium flavor and aroma.

Had a glass of red wine enjoyed both... never had to delight the cigar once.

Not a bad smoke if you like Connecticut's. Personally they're not my style, i like something a little more robust. This burned consistently all the way through, though i had to re light two times. Produced night thick smoke and was well constructed. Might use a cutter next time; used a punch on this one and the end cracked a little bit. Probably wouldn't but these but if someone offered i would definitely accept.

Good mild everyday smoke.

Nice draw. Even burn, easy smoke. Good med/strong flavor. Really good cigar if you like cigars on the strong side.

A surprise smoke. Very good, smooth, buttery smoke. NO aftertaste.

Mellow and smooth. Nice even burn, develops nice long ash. Hints of cedar and spice. Very reminiscent of cinnamon on the finish.

Thompson sent me this cigar to try and to give it an honest review. This was one of the better cigars they've sent me to try. Easy to light, stays lit, smooth draw and okay flavor. I'd pay up to $2.00 apiece for these, anymore than that would be to much.

Not bad, a little my for my tastes

overall this was a good cigar. The flavor changed as it was smoked. I found the draw a little loose causing it to burn a bit, especially near the end.

Wow, nice cigar. Plenty of mild smoke, smooth easy draw throughout. Premium Connecticut wrapper, burned evenly, with never a trace of harshness. Definite top tier cigar, suitable for special occasions or as an anytime treat. Might actually be a new alternate to my preferred Maduro's.

A really fine smoke. Can I say more!

They say presentation important. Well this stick has it. Casa Fernandez Reserva Connecticut Toro Connecticut is beautifully constructed with triple wrapper. Knockout your friends at special events. It also has great flavor and a even burn, Good looks and great smoke.

This was a good cigar overall. The cigar started out a little bitter at first, but quickly went away (after about a quarter to 1/2 inch in). The flavors I got at first were earthy hay and almond. Later cedar and more sweet flavors. Connecticut's are usually a little to mild for me, but this cigar had more flavor than most. It would be great for new smokers and people who like milder cigars.

I always like trying new sticks cause you never know when you'll find that perfect smoke...but this ain't it! Not sure what the other reviewers are smoking but it can't be this stick. First third was ok for a mild cigar, which I don't typically like, there was a few flavors in there that were enjoyable. Then the second third started out ok but by around the halfway mark this thing took a turn south REAL FAST! I don't know what happend but flavors went away and nasty burning paper is all you could taste. It was so bad I gave it to my brother in law to make sure it wasn't me and he about threw up. I'd give a negative star but they don't have it lol don't waste your money!

What a Pleasant smoke nice on white ash even burn consistent mild flavor This is a milder smoke when I'm used to.i prefer full flavor but it was a pleasure to smoke recommended to my friends to give a try

I was excited to try the Casa Fernandez Reserva but I must admit it was a bit of a let down. The light and draw was easy enough, and I picked up notes of cedar after a few pulls but the flavor was a bit inconsistent...and eventually, odd. Maybe it was because I smoked a Caldwell's Blind Man's Bluff earlier in the day, but the CFRC just didn't excite my pallet...and even the smell of the smoke was a bit off-putting. I won't say it was a bad cigar (because we all know there's no bad cigar - just better ones), but I will be hesitant to try it again.

Good cigar for watching the bbq and chilling on the deck.

A nice looking cigar, nice aroma cold. Upon lighting it produced a lot of gray smoke with a quite nice aroma. Flavor was consistent at medium strength. A good consistent cigar, but not what I would call great.

When I see fancy triple wrapper cigars I think, "here we go, looks grand but does it taste good?" Well surprisingly yes! A very good cigar. And the presentation makes this cigar great for weddings, gifts and other special occasions. Consistent flavor throughout.

Very enjoyable smoke

This is a well constructed cigar, firmly rolled, with a defined head that was easy to cut. The cigar was easy to light and burned evenly throughout my experience with it, yielding plenty of rich smoke. The draw is firm but easy, and not airy at all. I would definitely classify this cigar as being on the high-medium to low-full end of the spectrum, so beginning smokers might find it a bit overpowering. The flavor was pleasant but not memorable for me, but is definitely not one to shy away from.

Not one of my favorites, but I enjoyed the experience. I don't expect every thing I smoke to be a favorite. I enjoy trying new smokes looking for new favorites. I would smoke this stick again.

I smoked this fine cigar with a nice IPA in accompaniment. They go well together. This is a very smooth smoke with a very nice draw. The flavor is consistent, and has notes of butternut with a hint of cedar. It's a long-lasting smoke with an even burn and a nice ash.

The cigar kept a nice mild flavor from start to finish. I particularly liked the taste.

Surprisingly mellow for a Nicaraguan tobacco cigar. Held a consistent flavor from start to finish. Smoked entire cigar without a relight indicating high quality construction.

Very mild smoke with with subtle flavors. Well made and a very smooth smoker. Top shelf cigar.

Was a consistent smoke all the way through. Mild to med. with great taste and easy draw. Woluld buy this one again.

As I smoked I noticed a mild but bland taste. If you're looking for an after dinner cigar to savor with a glass of scotch, skip the scotch. This cigar is more suited for the golf course or the lawnmower.

good wrapper, no tares, quality made.

Very smooth and very mild,maybe I smoke to many Maduros. But I found it to consistent without some of the flavor notes that I like. No hints of pepper or oak coffee etc.

I would smoke this anytime, golfing,fishing, or just relaxing. Good enough to hand out or hide for yourself, but doesn't break the bank.

One of the most enjoyable smokes I have had. Mild yet you know its' there, Smooth draw, stays lit, and burns evenly. A good choice for your humidor.

Thought this was just another Connecticut Toro, but was somewhat impressed with it. Nice color, well constructed, good looking cigar. Tip was strong and held shape for the entire smoke. It was mild to medium strength. Not the bitter annoying taste usually associated with Connecticuts. The aroma was pleasant throughout the entire cigar and I did not tire of it. I do not know if I would buy a box, but I would sure have a few in my humidor.

This is a nicely made cigar, well wrapped, easy draw and great flavor not harsh at all. It had a fine ash that was tight and held together and was smoked all the way down. The only problem was that it ended to soon!

Is a first class Cigar in my opinion. Just not the type I'm used to smoking. I have several friends who would enjoy this Cigar. I'll mention it to them. It smoked really good and stayed light all the way to the end.

Great cigar that hits everything that I look for in a cigar - nice taste, good ash, no harsh aftertaste and a wonderful aroma that had other people asking me "what is that?"

GReay cigar for a special occasion cigar smoker like myself.

While relaxing with a glass of whiskey.

Very impressed with this smoke. Well made, easy draw, mild to medium strength, good flavor.

Easy to light, but a bit bitter on initial lighting. This well constructed cigar evened out after the first 1/2 inch or so. Smooth all the way through after lighting and a nice, light finish on the tounge.

Very good construction and flavor, everything about the cigar was very good and enjoyable.

Very impressed with this smoke. Well made, easy draw, mild to medium strength, good flavor.

This cigar has an unique flavor, amazing smoke output, and great burn. As an instant favorite, I highly recommend trying this stick!

Very smooth for that get together looked rough but smooth and great even burn

Nice nutty, almond flavor; very pleasant to smoke, once I started couldn't put it down.

Would make a great hand out for the guys on game day!

Look really great, Just put them in my Humidor and will take time to get just right.

Smooth, easy smoke....I smoke one every week. Also, well constructed

Very impressed, a great value cigar
