This company’s customer service is outstanding. I had an issue with my order and they went above and beyond to fix the issue.
The cigar has a beautiful, slightly oily wrapper that immediately gives it an appealing appearance. After toasting, the first few draws brought out a wonderful toasted-nut flavor. As it developed, a clove-like spice emerged, with a pleasant peppery character. Before long, that spice was complemented by a smooth, enjoyable creaminess. The cigar produced beautiful, thick, dense smoke throughout, and the construction was excellent. Overall, this was a rich, flavorful, and very enjoyable cigar. 9/10
I really liked this cigar. I originally got one in an order and liked it enough to get more. I will keep this one stocked in my humidor
As far as taste and burning 10 out of 10. Had trouble with two unraveling on me. Had to throw one out it was that bad. Reason for 4 rating vs 5
Behike 6½ x 56A Connecticut (Long Filler – 25 Pack) A
Awesome cigar, great flavor from start to finish, burns well. 5 stars
The No King But Christ Connecticut Robusto is a smooth and pleasant smoke. One of my favorites.
As always the cigars are rich in taste. These may be my new favorites.
Phenomenal cigar. I liked this one immensely eill buy again and keep in my humidor!
All three blends were great cigars, full of flavor! I will be ordering more!!
They're Both Great Smokes, I Will Definitely Be Ordring More.
A little loosely wrapped, maybe my inexperience both a habano sandwich cigar. Otherwise good smoke and flavor
Unbeatable value. These guys know how to make a good cigar! Good construction, burn. Lots of nice white smoke.
This cigar ranks right up with some of the best cigars I've ever enjoyed. Worth every penny. Took right about an hour from start to finish, stayed lit the entire time without having to aggressively draw on it, and didn't fall apart towards the end. Also, I greatly appreciate the care in shipping these— they came properly humidified and in a sealed humidor bag, ready to go, and that alone makes it worth ordering from this great Christian company. Will order again!
I have ordered cigars from 1689 several times. The cigars are excellent. I have already ordered more.
Chance is a good man who runs an exceptional company. He makes good cigars, treats his customers properly, and does not appear to be interested in turning the simple act of smoking a cigar into some kind of lifestyle brand.
I respect that.
The cigar is good. The company is good. I will continue buying them.
Five stars. I regret nothing.
Draw is excellent- recommend a slit or punch as a full cut is to much.
The flavor change is so unique that this cigar has become and go to for a longer smoke for minor celebrations!
Smoked the Connecticut. Creamy, toasted nuts, fresh baked bread notes in the first third. Graham cracker, sweet cedar, bakers spice and nutmeg with white pepper undertones!
Robusto 5 x 50 Maduro Sandwich Daily Smokes (25) Pack
The first one was great. The second wouldn't draw at all. Very hard spot in the middle. We'll see how the rest go.
My Father is a great stick for most occasions or gifts, the “middle of the road” so to speak. The review is for the stick not 1689 Cigar, I got a great price on the 5er which allowed me to test without worry. It’s a solid stick, but nothing special :(
Smooth and tasty! Great for a beautiful evening in your backyard
I ordered the 658 Savoy Sampler Pack (3-Pack). It arrived quickly and the cigars were in great shape. They did not disappoint.
I am long families with the Brotherhood line, I enjoy them and keep a steady supply. This particular stick is the Barb pole Behike.
First impressions were promising as it was a great presentation on the wrappers, it was a little softer than I am used to in a 1689 but it burned well and I didn’t have to fight it. Over all smoke time 40min as it burns faster than the same ring gauge with a fuller/tighter wrapped stick (RH 65%) but this could be mitigated a bit with a higher RH if you so choose.
Flavor profile: that of a well produced CT of proper complexity and finish, there is a nutty caramel note throughout that I’m trying to figure if it’s praline or cashew with butter… have a taste and let me know!
Bottom line:
You are a fool not to buy these, I got them at auction for a SMOKER deal 40$ for a bundle of 20… which makes the journey so so very worth the price even if you are pretentious and picky like me.
