The famous Union general Ulysses S. Grant was said to smoke 20 cigars a day….a rather hefty number for even the most seasoned cigar enthusiast. With a look very reminiscent of the times, this decorative box houses 30 handmade coronas that offer a modest and smooth tobacco flavor. An extremely affordable and patriotic gem with an even more attractive everyday price!
Smooth morning smoke and the flavor is a good tobacco taste. You can't beat the price.

White wine pairing.
Oct 06, 2021
For the price a good smoke. I honestly did not like the first three until I paired the fourth with a 2018 Sauvignon Blanc from Thrive in California. Ironic a budget smoke pairs well with a budget dry white wine. This pairing actually made both the smoke and wine slightly sweet together. I recommend this smoke paired with a similar white wine and it will not disappoint. I also advise to let the cigars get some humidity from a humidifier for a week before smoking since it smoothens the taste.

Awesome budget cigar for when you want the most for your money. The cigar is the perfect size for a quick enjoyable smoke. Their look is a bit on the old fashion side but I like that about them. The reason for the four start would be due to I've found a couple beginning to come unwrapped, but are still usable.

Basic smoke at a great price. Starts out tasting a bit on the cheap side, but after a few puffs the harshness and, forgive me, Swisher cheap flavor dissipates and it becomes an earthy smooth cigar. Plenty of rich smoke. I especially enjoy them when I don't have the time to sit and fully relax. I can light one up and don't mind if I forget about it or chomp down.

Sep 23, 2017
for the price,( less than a buck ), I figured I cannot go wrong for a daily smoke,, I sit around with a glass of bourbon or Fireball whiskey,, Is it the best smoke, no but I cannot afford much anymore,, are they a bit rough and get hangers you have to burn to even out, Yes,, does this bother me NOPE,, once Demi Moore was put on Cigar Aficionado magazine prices went sky high,,, I love Punch cigars, when I can afford them. One thing to me cuz my BIL in law does it, smoke them like a chimney and everything gets hot, then he throws them away and complains ( not just these) I also smoke a corn cob pipe , which is way cheaper.

The General Grant cigarillos are average at best. They don't have a distinct flavor, but not a bad flavor. They tend to go out quickly. But other than that not a bad cigarillo. Would have to say i won't buy them twice. Comes in a collectible box though.

Buy a box? Yeah-with foreknowledge of the vagaries of these sticks
Aug 12, 2017
As one of the lucky folks who get to work virtually, I don't have to abide by no-smoking rules...I'm the only one in my office and Perla, my dachshund office mate hasn't barked an opinion one way or another (besides, I'd bribe her with treats.
PRO
So, I can smoke these little guys whenever I chose, mostly when write emails. They have a great taste and a very pleasant nose; use them between pipe loads as a "palette cleanser" The quality of the leaf that goes into the General Grant is above average for this price point and the Sumatra leaf seems to be used throughout...filler/binder/wrapper...and I would grade these more toward a Maduro dusky.
CON
Hand-made, huh? Whose hands? Newbies? Soon-to-be-retired? Being quite urbane in wording, the BEST i can say is that each cigar is unique OR there is no consistency OR are these made while the QC department is drunk. If there was some semblance of uniformity across the box, I'd give these little pleasures 5 stars. I'm knocking off two stars--1 because of the wild variance between sticks in quality of roll, quantity of tobacco and 1 because of how much I have to cut off the end of every other stick to ensure I get a decent draw.
Would I recommend you buy a box--yeah, I would. Just keep the downside issues mentioned above in mind. Even with the offsets, they have a good underlying value.

Jan 02, 2017
When I bought my box of General Grant cigars I knew I was buying a cheap cigar. One that I'd smoke tinkering in my shop or working in the yard. I had tried The Mark Twain and the were good for the purpose so I decided to try the Grants. I want a shorter smoke than with the Mark Twain. I was pleasantly surprised to find them to be better than expected. The taste is more than expected and is pleasant, with not a lot of after taste. The cigar has a good burn and I did not have to relight it. On a scale of 1-5, I would give it a 4, understanding it's not a top shelf stogie. I will buy more.

This is now my "go to" work cigar. Not the smoothest smoke I've ever have but certainly not the worst. I've gone thru the entire first box of these and not a single bad burner in the bunch.

Not the best little cigar...but not the worst either...
Oct 07, 2015
General Grants come in a nice little box of 30 individually wrapped cigars. The taste is not the best, but far from the worst. The first half of the cigar is is decent smoke and then it just gets down right harsh...pretty tough on the tongue. I personally wouldn't smoke them every day; but some of the guys in our shop take them with coffee in the morning and don't seem to mind them for breakfast.

These cigars are the best for the money I have found! I have smoked many expensive cigars that have not satisfied me nearly as much. I go through at least a box of these a month. Probably more like a box and a half.

Good cigar. Nice taste, held together and had a good burn. I am really pleased with this cigar and it has a great price. if they are consistent with the product I will be getting more.
DW of Mogadore, OH
The old addage "You get what you pay for" holds up here. Cigars seem even smaller than a standard Corona, factory-made smoke quality, ash falls immediately. As cigars continue their increase in price, I am constantly in search of decent value cigars to smoke around the yard. This one is not it. Better, bigger, tastier cigars are available on this site. The best thing about this cigar is the box it came in. My little boy loves it.
MN of Bow, NH
Not a full time cigar smoker, mainly pipes. But, I bought these for the old school style, hoping for old school flavor.
Style and flavor didn't disappoint. It's a nice cigar, medium in flavor, pretty consistent through out. Only slightly strong/harsh at the nub. Perfect size for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor. A good leaf is used, despite the price.
The downside - construction. I full third of the box basically fell apart shortly after lighting, maybe got 1/4 to 1/3 and it just fell to pieces. Construction isn't great, but even with that said it's still a good value and I'd buy again. On construction -- they all drew well et cetera. Just issues with the binder/wrapper falling apart.
I will also say, that I haven't experienced any construction issues as I wrapped up the box. Maybe some extra time in the humidor gave it time to bind together better? Not sure.

Excellent everyday cigar. Fantastic price. Nice mild cigar with great draw. Construction could be better but for the price I won't complain.
