A bit coarse at times, but not a bad little smoke.

Nice little 30min smoke. Easy to draw with a nice mild start becoming stronger at the end. Burned evenly with a lovely white ash. Pleasant aroma from the smoke. An enjoyable cigar for the price.

An inexpensive yet satisfying cigar. Mild and consistent flavour. Draws easily and burns evenly. Good choice for mid-morning.

I found this budget cigar to be quite coarse, no depth or complexity and a very one dimensional smoke. Very average. I'd favour a machine made Dutch cigar over these I'm afraid. It is a budget cigar but my goodness for (literally) a couple of pounds more one can buy wonderful cigars.

The wrapper was faultless and the stick had a solid feel and construction pre-light. The first 2 thirds were surprisingly sweet and nutty with the final third becoming slightly bitter. Superb white ash and perfect burn led to around 35-40 minutes of good value for money non Cuban experience. I think I do prefer the Cuban cigars but I would recommend this as a really decent smoke on a budget.

I tried a box of these based on the very positive reviews here,and was NOT disappointed.Smooth,nice draw,good flavours,clean tasting,but nutty,earhy,woody,too,I thought--flavoursome,but not at all overpowering,certainly not bitter.If this is an example of Fillipino cigar manufacture,book me my ticket to Manilla now,I'm off on my holidays there!After a memorably awful Rafael Gonzalez,this is a breath of fresh air--er.smoke--oh,you know what I mean!
