Curivari El Gran Rey

[Jfire]

A very short review:
I was gifted this Curivari El Gran Rey (Prominentes 6 1/2x50) a short time ago and decided to light it up. Wow was I impressed! After doing some quick research here and reading up on the company. Imo these guys got this cigar line right. This truly is a cigar that has a ton of flavors partial to CCs. From the lightness of the cigar in hand to the velvety feel of the wrapper. Aromas were intoxicating, flavors of cinnamon spice, slight sweetness of honey, with oak mixed in. Although a slight bitterness showed in the middle I think this could disappear with a little more aging. This cigar impressed me tremendously and think the makers hit the nail on the head. Try to make a cigar that emulates all the qualities of a CC as far as flavor and not too much Nica strength. Truly a great cigar and I'll be getting more of the line to try. I just wish I hadn't waited so long to try one.eace: Pick one up if you havn't already!

Just picked up another box. I agree. I really enjoy these. A few of their other lines other then the white label are similar to other CCs.

Concur. I'm almost done with my first box of the Emperadores (5.0 X 50) and love these! Also gone through a box and a half of the Gloria De Leon Fuerza too. Will definately be ordering more soon.

The Curivari brand in general is very good. The prominentes I didn't like but the belicoso I like a lot. Very cubanesque profile. I wrote a review of the prominentes on Cigar Inspector last week.

I have had two of these so far and they are great. I still have some of the other's that I have yet to try.

I just smoked one of the Cafes but I think I got a bad stick. Have a few more curavaris sitting in the humidor that Ill revisit after a month or so.

We picked up the Curivari line 2-3 months ago and have been nothing short of blown away by most, if not all of the blends. The feedback from the customers has been extraordinary, definitely blended with a CC palate in mind, but using Nica tobaccos! Love the 10 count boxes and the packaging. Great stuff. Check out Atlantic if you want to try some of the lines out. I recommend Gloria Leon (Yellow Box) and the Reserva Limitada Classica (Red Label).

Hmmm I don't think I've even seen these. Thanks for the review.

On point review! These and the Gloria De Leon are very similar to the few cc I've had.
