We tried the Pharisee Blue and found it to be possibly the best Pharisee. It was not overly sweet. Probably the smoothest that we have tried. It also improve during the smoke. Excellent job.
Cigar smoker for 30+ years. Happy to support small business. Saw the request for help on X, figured why not? Ordered three fivers. Not small money.
Cigars are Nicaraguan, not Macanudos (read: not mild). Good overall; construction and flavor, good, strength, good, but at $15/stick (on sale) I am expecting a little more.
These cigars reminded me of some Hirochi Robaina Toros which I bought some years ago. Same dressed foot (wrapper covers the foot), Nicaraguan, improve with age.
I can purchase top Nicaraguans from other retailers for less. I get it, cigar biz, potential customers think, cheap price = dog rocket. Not always the case. These will benefit with a couple three years of age.
Would I buy again? Not at $15/stick.
I love the hat. My wife uses the cigar stand, and we enjoyed our first 1689 cigar last night- the Maduro and Habano.
My delivery was delayed for a few weeks, but once I visited with 1689 Cigar people for a bit, it shipped to me in about a day. Can't wait to smoke it!
I enjoyed the size and flavor of this. they were just the right size for a short smoke.
I got 4 cigars and a hat. So all things considered, it's not a scam. But none of the interesting things advertised as potentially in the box were there. And of the 4 cigars, 2 were the same.
So, you DO get $50 worth of stuff I guess. But I don't think I'd ever buy it again.
I really am impressed with the quality of the cigar's. I like being able to try the different styles. The savoy so far is definitely my favorite.
I bought the two sample pack and it did not disappoint. Each one of these cigars had their own flavor and their own unique taste. Absolutely on my top ten.
I smoked the Connecticut the other day. The construction was excellent. The strength was mild to medium, with nice smoke volume and a long, razor sharp burn. It's an excellent value and I am looking forward to experiencing the rest of the pack.
The 4 Freedom Sweet Elder cigar is an unforgettable smoke—an experience that transcends the ordinary and dances on the edge of the divine. From the first draw, you’re met with a rich, smooth sweetness that never overwhelms but instead perfectly complements the natural tobacco profile. It’s like tasting a hymn—warm, complex, and comforting.
The sweet vanilla infusion is masterfully balanced, giving the cigar a flavor that’s reminiscent of aged honey with hints of dried fruit and floral undertones. The construction is solid, with a consistent burn and an easy draw that allows the full character of the cigar to shine. The aroma alone is enough to stir your senses, but it’s the taste that truly takes you somewhere special.
As the smoke lingers, there’s a moment—maybe in the second third—where the sweetness, smooth smoke, and calming rhythm of the draw seem to lift you into what can only be described as a taste of heaven’s Shekinah glory. It’s more than a cigar; it’s a worshipful experience in leaf and flame.
Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or a newcomer, the 4 Freedom Sweet Elder is a must-try. It’s a sacred moment wrapped in tobacco.
I had high hopes for this mystery box, but it exceeded my expectations. I received a good variety of 5 cigars, a very sturdy shiv... er... cigar tool, and a handy little cigar rest. Most importantly, I received two 1646 Westminster cigars and not the 1689 Baptist cigars! Superior theology requires superior smokes. But sincerely, I will buy this again, sooner rather than later.
The Dominion Maduro flavor was quite enjoyable and it smoked perfectly. I will definitely be adding some more to my collection.
Maybe it’s the vibe that you feel when the smoke curls behind the 1689 wrapper, but these cigars are wonderful.
The cigars have been great, I appreciate your care, timeliness, and above and beyond customer service!
1689 Cigar Starter Kit Travel Humidor! 5 1689 Cigars and 2 complimentary Dominion cigars with purchase.
All 6 cigars had superior construction, taste and draw. I will definitely be buying more from 1689!
This is one of my favorite blends. The smell alone is enough to draw you in. It has as the other commentor put, hints of butter, rum and maple. Great blend!
Great box pressed stick. Perfect draw, haven’t used my draw tool on a single one so far. Robust smoke all the way to the nub!
These cigars are very pleasant and mild. Enjoyed every puff.
