I love this stick. Great draw. Great burn holds the ash fairly well. I get no pepper or spice note from the cigar which is nice for a change. It has a sweet taste to it. A little bit of mocha I picked up. I know Tim said it tasted like graham cracker but I got a little taste of nutmeg. Overall. I enjoyed this cigar very much. Will purchase more to keep in my humidor. This is a great cigar for somebody who just started out and would like to try a little more than a Connecticut.

Tim you were spot on in your review of this stick!! It’s right up my alley!! I am coming into my own in what I like and I love this cigar. Thank you so much for the recommendation!!!

I’m so happy to hear that! I’ll get more of these in stock asap for you.

I bought a five pack of these and just smoked my third stick. Every single one has been a dud so far. Completely plugged draw. I can puff as hard as possible for 10-20 seconds and get such a small amount of smoke you wouldn’t be able to tell I was smoking. This is such a disappointment for a stick that is on the more expensive end of what I regularly buy. From the miniscule amount of smoke I’m able to get, I can tell the flavor is great which makes this even more frustrating.

OH NO! That’s terrible man. I understand why you’d be dissapointed! If you haven’t already reached out to Customer Service about this, I would love the chance to make it up to you. I’ve smoked a few boxes of these, and while a few have been plugged, your experience sounds unlike what I know of the Singulare. I would like to send you another 5-pack so you can get a better sense of this cigar! Just fill out the Contact Us form and mention my (Tim) with your order number and we’ll get you squared away!

I got this stick because Tim said it was so amazing he smoked through boxes of it, now when I did the first dry draw I feel like I got a slight chocolate note and at first light I got some spice which felt pretty good the only thing I did not like was that it had a pretty tight draw but I have another in the humidor to check if it was just the cigar or the brand that has a tight draw in itself. I definitely recommend for any cigar lover.

Previously left a bad review due to a few plugged sticks I got. The Cigars Daily team DEFINITELY made it right and sent some replacements which have all been super tasty. These were like a completely different cigar from the first few I tried and I wish I could delete that bad review but I’ll just leave a new one now. A very toasty sweetness throughout the whole cigar with an aroma coming off it that is unlike anything I’ve smoked up to this point. If you’re a whiskey guy I’d say pairing this cigar with a highland single malt scotch is about as good as it gets. Only reason it’s 4/5 stars for me is the draw is a little tighter than I prefer and the burn needed a bit of touching up. All very manageable though.

Really wish I had ordered all you had left. Great easy flavorful smoke.

Very tight or even plugged draw in my experience, but maybe just a one-off. The wrapper was cracked just above the sleeve as well right out of the packaging. Other than that, a pleasant and mild smoke with notes of coffee and cream and green tea.

Visually appealing stick. Decent construction with an enjoyable draw. Medium body with notes of roasted cashews, graham cracker, subtle hints of pink pepper. A bit overhyped, but still good.

I got 5 of these on the recommendation of Tim’s videos. They didn’t disappoint even one iota. Upon lighting, the flavor was there full and complex. The burn stayed even and never needed touched up. The draw was perfect and I took the cigar to the point of needing a pick at the end. The only thing I regret is not buying a full box or 2.

Wow! Tons of flavor at light up. Cinnamon, vanilla, cedar go perfect together. Nice smooth draw with an ok burn. Lots of smoke, lots of flavor.
Vader4life76 (verified owner) –
Apart from a strong licoricey flavour which is really all I found with this stick I don’t rate this smoke at all!
Construction and burn were bang on but flavorless for me unfortunately, that’s the way the cookie crumbles 😑

Too bad you can stock more of these jewels. Tim, after you gave it a shout out on You Tube, I ordered them. Great great summer cigar. Can’t really define all the tastes other than smooth, easy and enjoyable down to the butt. Can you hook a brother up with a box ????

I really wanted to love this cigar based on how Tim was gushing about the natural sweetness and medium body profile (that’s my favorite type of cigar). At light up I got an almost artificially sweet note? (What’s up with that?) The rest of the cigar was good, but those first few puffs were so unusual that I wasn’t sure how to process it. Overall I got some cedar, woodsy, and something like yeasty notes. I would like to give the cigar a couple more smokes to really figure out what’s going on.

The draw was a little tight but the flavor is incredible I will be buying more of these sticks

Had 1 when I first started smoking cigars and loved it. Got it again when you restocked and….yep. still my favorite. Just a fantastic all around smoke. Smooth, creamy, not too much cedar, vanilla. Amazing
Bedlam_monster (verified owner) –
Got 2 of these in a recent sampler. Absolutely fantastic smoke. No burn issues. Smooth with a buttery sweetness padding every note. I love this cigar so much I had to immediately buy a box. I’m going to need this cigar in every size. I like this cigar so much, it takes everything I have not to drop a string of F bombs when describing this cigar. Like I want to write a beatnik rap about how much I love this cigar. I want to offer this cigar to Jobu with his rum. I wish I paid for OVERNIGHT shipping. I need gifs to help describe how much I love this stick. If you don’t know, now you know …ninja

I keep 3 of these min. In my humidor at all times for a rainy day, very flavor filled corojo.

I found this cigar to be very underwhelming. I ordered this with a bunch of maduros and when I smoked this, it was almost flavorless by comparison. I get that it’s not a maduro, but it tasted like a dry green tea bag.

These cigars are delicious. I have to agree with everyone who’s had difficult or tight draws. All 5 of mine were difficult to smoke, but they were so delicious! What do you do as a cigar lover, power through and figure out a way to fix that draw. Boo to everyone who tosses it in the garbage and then complains.

Strong coffee and tobacco notes on 1/3, peppery with cinnamon left over. Rare smooth retrohale with a floral cream. Didn’t get the vanilla I hear so much about. This one had a good draw and nice smoke output. Some cedar came in during the 2/3. I smoked one of these a month ago and I remember it being very different with a slight root beerish sweetness and toast.
