Well, what a let down. I am far from an experienced cigar smoker and normally smoke occasional smaller less expensive cigars such as henri wintermans, J y r puritos, inexpensive packs of 25 bought when in canaries, Balearic etc.
So i thought i would buy a few less expensive individual cubans, but dearer than i would normally spend, just to try them and see what i thought.
I know that at about six quid this is still dead cheap in cigar terms but i did expect better and this wasnt a great intro.
It looked, felt and smelt nice. Lit easily, held ash well and actually tasted quite nice, until near the end when it got a bit bitter.
Worst thing, was that although it drew easily, it gave virtually no smoke at all, none, not until right and very end by which time it had got a bit bitter. So little i could probably have smoked it indoors without attracting much attention.
What a let down.
So would i buy these again, just in case i was unlucky?
Well having to be budget conscious, no i would not give these another chance and just hope the other cigars in same order give a better experience.
Having placed a few orders with Cgars over last couple of years, this is first time i have felt a need to leave a review of any kind. Which i guess illustrates how less than impressed i was!

A very nice short substitute for the Cristales.Lasts about 35 minutes.Good draw and does burn evenly.Great flavour.Try with TullibardineThe Murray.

Not a bad budget cigar to be honest. It’s light, gradually gets a little peppery after the first third. There’s not much smoke to start but this will improve after the first third. It doesn’t have an overpowering taste or room note and it comes pre-cut. Can’t really complain about convenience. Or the price.

Amazing value - simple enjoyable smoke. These are machine made, short filler, so very consistent cigar. Perfect draw, plumes of falvoursome, fragrant smoke and perfect choice for daytime or early evening. Great, mild and smooth intro to cigar smoking, but anyone will enjoy this for what it is.

A very Good Morning and Afternoon Cigar, don't know what all the negative reviews are about. I would recomend them, good price as well.
