Legendary as these cigars are, I didn't believe that they would live up to their name; I was mistaken. The four T's: The burn time; if smoking at a slow pace, can last up to and over 45 minutes. The smoke output is plentiful and it smooth. The taste is creamy and there are soft tobacco notes. The construction Varies with each cigar, this is because it is machine made; mediocre to average quality. In conclusion, it is a cigar for a social occasion or a relaxing in the garden; if you are on a budget

I have smoked these in the past, but not seen them in the UK for a long time. I was keen to get reacquainted, and bought a packet of these and a packet of Invincibles. I have to say I was disappointed. I felt there was little flavour, it tasted plain and a little synthetic, more Castella than Henri Winterman. I think I saw a review here that rated the King Edward over the Henri Winterman. I often smoke the HW Half Coronas as a low cost alternative to the more expensive Cuban cigars(a more infrequent treat); while the HMs are also mass-produced by machine, for my palette I find they are much more tasty and distinctively flavoured, and also more firmly wrapped. To be charitable, maybe the King Edwards are just very mild, and that my taste has developed since I last smoked them. However, they aren't for me, and I shall be sticking to HM for my cheap smokes, unless anyone can recommend any alternatives!
