Cut and light smooth easy draw very tasteful I love Connecticut cigars top 1 for me best one yet
Illusione of Excalibur No.1 is a unique Churchill with a larger ring size and a very smooth draw. The flavor is pleasing, and even towards the end, the cigar draw never gets hot. I know for a good hour I will enjoy my Ex1. Thanks Renegade Cigars!
I would be quickly fired as a Professional Cigar reviewer, as I do not delve the nitty gritty of leather notes or coffee notes or cinnamon notes, etc...
This is a Top 10 Cigar for me, always has been since the first time I had one.
Smooth all the way through, burns great, no issues with the draw ever!
$23.00 stick and I have no qualms paying that amount for this cigar.
Happy you got them in. If I had room in my humidor I would have bought more.
Bet this is the last "review " you ever ask me for, lol.
First time buying cigars let alone buying from this company and couldn’t decide on what to purchase so was happy to see a sample pack where experts could pick for me. I received 9 cigars from different brands and sizes well worth the money it’s been a fun experience to try them out and see what I like and don’t like. Plan to buy from renegade cigars again in the future.
Works as it should and I like the dog etched into it , not a bad price for it either.
One of my favorite everyday cigars, and Renegades has the best selection
Great blend with a consistent draw every time. Love the intense flavor profile without the nicotine hangover.
Best lighter ever. I have had at least a dozen torch cigar lighters and is one is by far the best. I just bought three of them, one for me and one each for my cigar friends to replace the one that was taken by TSA along with a cutter. Shame on me for packing them on my carry-on.
Customer service at Renegade is great. I checked the website for the replacements and sadly it was out of stock. I called to double check hoping one was still kicking around and was told they just came back in stock, It was immediately uploaded to the website for purchase. Great company for cigars and accessories. Jim
Davidoff is always top tier and the Colorado Claro is no different. Great draw, lots of creamy smoke
Love these! Delicious short smoke for when you have little time or just want one more.
One of my favorites. Very easy draw. Smooth rich flavor strong chocolate notes. One of my favorite sizes as I don't like to invest hours into a single smoke. Can't recommend it enough.
Love this cigar. I go back and forth between this one and the darker Eiroa. I like the taste of both. The natural has a little brighter while the darker has a creamier taste. Brandon told me years ago that a great cigar is one that satisfies your taste and stays lit without working at it. Love this cigar and love Renegade’s cigars. Thanks Brandon and the staff. It’s quite a spot to relax.
One of my favorites. Medium-full with nice complexity.
First, this was my first time using Renegade and it was wonderful working with you! Great customer service and timely delivery. The Purple offers a nice bolder Pledge with accents and notes that set it apart from the Blue Pledge. They were great and will just get better with age! Thanks again ! Todd the Cigar Idiot
Where do I begin with this review? J.C. Newman is an incredible company, with a rich history, and they're full of great people. Bobby, Drew, Eric, and the employees (shout-out Gene), really pour their passion into this business, and give back to the communities they work in, in extraordinary ways.
The cigars in this collection speak volumes to perfected craft the Newman's and workers in El Reloj are practicing. My favorite cigar in the collection, The American, is 100% American made, from the tobaccos being fired in PA, CT, and FL, to the boxes, bands, and cellophane, it's all made right here in the states. When you light this cigar, you're going to be greeted with notes of chocolate, caramel, leather, cedar, and black pepper; it's like smoking a milky way with the perfect hint of black pepper on a well seasoned steak on the finish.
The Angel Cuesta Shade is a beast of its own, it's a very flavorful, medium bodied Nicaraguan Shade wrapped cigar. If you have ever smoked an Atabey (my previous favorite shade), Bandolero Premium, or Joya Antano CT, this cigar blows them all out of the water. The cold draw is perfectly balanced with cream, hay and floral notes, which translates right into a creamy smoke which leaves a really nice oil slick feeling on the tongue, allowing those flavors to linger in between puffs. This is hands down one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. This is a must try!
The Angel Cuesta Rosado was a great smoke as well, medium bodied, creamy, a little white pepper, strawberry fig and cedar dominated my plate as well while smoking.
The Tampa Smoker pays home age to Tampa rich connection to baseball. I have only smoked one out of the 2, and my experience with the first one wasn't how I expected it to go. The one I smoked from my collection was packed densely in the middle which led to a tight draw, and my wrapper was cracked under the bands, eventually causing it to unravel when my burn line got to the split. I did not enjoy the flavor, but, I was having to take long hard draws, hearing the tobacco, so I believe it's unfair to judge it until I smoke the second one.
I have not gotten to the Leroy Neiman yet, however the blend is the same, the vitola changes every year, so I have high hopes that this years vitola will be just as good if not better than previous years releases. It's very well constructed, and the art on the bands is beautiful.
The construction on all cigars have been phenomenal, with the exception of the one Tampa Smoker. The ones I've smoked and enjoyed have had the perfect draw, perfect burn, perfect everything. Even the presentation of this specific "America 250th" is beautiful. You can't go wrong with this collection, try all of the offerings from El Reloj premium rolling floor, I promise you you'll find one you like.
Great selection of the finest cigars and an exceptional environment to smoke and converse with other individuals that enjoy relaxing conversation.
Invited a friend over to experience our first Pledge Purple together. I chose to v-cut my stick and he punched his. Upon lighting we knew we were in for something special. Lots of smoke, as the draw was fairly loose, but full of flavor. I like to retrohale, and the aromatics for this blend are incredible. That said, my stick almost immediately started to run on one side. Shortly thereafter, my friend experienced the same thing. Both sticks required several corrections in the first third. However, by the second third, the stick resembled with I've come to appreciate about Casa Carrillo (EPC) cigars. I've since bought a box of these and will let them sit in the hopes that time will make a difference.
What a treat! I look forward to this cigar each year. Incredibly rich flavor. Worthy of the Adventura name!
My go to daily smoke. Rich, complex smoke that can be an all-day, any-time-of-the-day smoke
This is one of the best cigars to come out recently. Complex, flavorful, absolute gem of a cigar.
This cigar has become a favorite. It's a very smooth box press with an even burn better than any other cigar I'm smoked, even in wind. If you're looking for something to smoke that is excellent quality but that doesn't leave you with that "afterburner taste and feeling" this is a cigar worth you trying. One caveat... it's a very delicate cigar with a very thin wrapper. They have to be handled carefully and kept at 68% - 70% humidity (at least that's my experience). I've found the lower the humidity the easier it is to see the wrapper tear or peel away from the binder. I have had to have one box returned but that was after 4-5 maybe more boxes.
Creaminess carries through consistently, making it forgiving and enjoyable without overwhelming spice, pepper, or harshness that can turn off newcomers. It still though has some heft and depth that is appreciated by more veteran cigar enthusiasts.
