 I consider myself the King of the budget Bundles and I have to say that I have found one I like very much and in fact I am on my 3^rd order of them as I do this review.

 The Garo Double Habano is well constructed with one of my favorite wrappers the dark and oily Habano Connecticut Oscuro, with an Ecuadorian Habano binder.

  This Central American smoke is a rich medium to full bodied cigar, with an earthy, woody flavor to it. I have not found a bad one in 3 bundles and 2 sizes (6x50 Toro and the 6x52 Torpedo), that’s not to say it will always be that way. It just means that at the very least this Budget bundle is still putting quality with its economically perfect price tag of $30.00 to $40.00 per bundle of 20.

These are hard to find in a Brick and Mortar (store) but they are listed in 2 different company’s catalogs and are well worth a try in my humble smoke filled opinion.

The ash is solid, not flaky at all and the feel of the cigars is firm and has a slightly bumpy feel, but don’t let that scare you they are tasty.

 There is one thing I do suggest and that is the you crank the humidifier up to 72% humidity, they are much better when they are very humidified, I have noticed that if the humidor drops to 68% humidity they get a small bite to them.

 

I rate these 5 out of 10

Happy Smoking –

 As I post this review I am sadden of the news that the Garo Double Habano has met its untimely end, they have discontinued this fine budget bundle. I will smoke my last few and saver each puff.
