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!
I am being asked for a review for cigars that haven’t arrived yet. Most cigar companies that I buy from ship within 24 hrs. This company can take up to a week to get cigars shipped.
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.
Cigars went from KY, to two places in PA, to Denver, and making it to my house in SE Colorado 5 days after original delivery date. Let them sit in humidor for 24 hours to make sure they were at the right level. Was hoping to have them when a buddy from Indiana was out for a visit, but unable. The cigar itself is a smooth smoke. Very much enjoyed, once here.
An excellent cigar. Well constructed, good burn. Sweet flavor from the start. The final third moves into full strength range but still maintains the sweetness from the wrapper. Overall, an excellent smoke, highly recommended.
Took a chance on this size, but had the Connecticut before. I was impressed! Great draw, perfect burn, nice and creamy smoke.
I really enjoyed this cigar. It was the first habano I have tried, and it was a very strong introduction that was also very smooth. My preference has been towards maduros, but the Preaching Badger habano will find a place in the rotation.

It was a good smoke. Bought them for my boyfriend, but I smoked one with him. It’s very smooth and doesn’t leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth.
Spend an afternoon in Gaza or try one of these monsters. Only one is getting a positive review. I love the smell of fresh cut grass that starts these off. They're heinous yet surprisingly high quality production. They burn slow, evenly and have a variety of flavor profiles. If your looking for a conversation starter then you should probably steer clear of our greatest ally. These War Crimes however are fantastic for backyard bbqs and beach strolls. They are a fun smoke and I look forward to doing it again. Thanks for producing these joyful little abominations!
Have smoked a few of these and they’ve all been perfect! Even burn, delicious flavor. I’m not one that can tell you notes of this or hints of that, only that they’ve been very enjoyable smokes each time! Thanks!
This was a fantastic smoking experience. Smooth and flavor able from the start. Perfect construction and burn right through to the end. A very light spice at the end added interest as the smoke came to an end. Overall delicious and satisfying smoke. I can recommend and will buy again.
The No King But Christ Maduro is a well constructed and enjoyable medium smoke. Will definitely get more.
Smoke one everyday and they are excellent, good smoke and flavor for the price.
Wonderful cigars. Wonderful mission. Wonderful staff. What's not to love? If the adage " you get what you pay for" is true, I owe them a lot of money because I always seem to get better than what my dollars buy.
I purchased these on a sale, and am greatly pleased with the quality and flavor for an everyday cigar.
The best part of the Brotherhood Line isn't the price point, it's the quality and diversity of choice Vitols. I'm usually a darker leaf fan, but I got a great deal on these Churchill CT's so I couldn't pass them up.
They have a great creame note and baking spice that is warm and coats the tongue, this does have a faint pepper note that stays on the sides of the tongue which makes for a very pleasurable note.
The burn was good and they averaged 40-50 Min on smoke time; they were a touch soft for my taste but for the price a guy couldn't help but try it. I'm glad I did, I have rekindled my CT collection and now have new road to travel again!
Cigar is a great budget cigar that matches some of the premium cigars on the market
The cigar box was not wooden. Would have paid extra for that.
The cigars however are fantastic.
