Had my first experience with this stick after getting a couple in a sampler bundle.
Flavour wise it's decent with plenty of woody and earthy notes and a decent smoke from that perspective.
On the down side it was a bit of a challenging smoke. The draw and the burn was very inconsistent and uneven and the construction wasn't great. Multiple relights and the lit end finished up looking like a mashed up fountain pen nib.
All in all a bit of a mixed bag and I don't think i'll be rushing back.

Davidoff Demi Tasse Cigar - 1 Single
by Anton
These came in a sample pack (got two of them) and as I’m newish to cigars I found them pleasant to smoke. Lasted around 15 minutes, the cigars didn’t unravel and felt no bits coming out of the mouth piece. I would say it was a light to medium strength in the first 2/3 of the cigar, the final 3rd is where I got the most enjoyment.

I let this dry for an hour before packing it, and admittedly I am very new to pipes but good grief, this tobacco refused to burn! The embers went out after 2 puffs! I have a small 20mm by 20mm pipe and this lasted me 45 mins but 30 of that was spent with half a box of matches, then half a lighter's worth of fuel. I got halfway and just gave up. The thing is, the flavour was light, fresh, peppery, with a pleasant room note and very little tongue bite despite all the hard puffing I out it through to keep it lit. If it stayed lit I'd say it was incredibly enjoyable, but instead I found it frustrating. Will dry it longer and crumble it even more the next time...

A fantastic tin note of chocolate that carries through to the beginning of the smoke but quickly fades and you're left with a relatively bland and bitter Lakeland. If you really try, thebitter chocolate taste can still be found in the deep background. This is definitely a savoury smoke which makes the chocolate notes, though distant, feel off. This is my second sample pack of this blend and I wanted to like it, sadly it didn't deliver to my taste.

I believe this is an upgrade on the "Champagne" 10th anniversary edition, with more going on. Got some raisin on the cold draw and then pot very easily. Lovely thick, cool, smoke with some hay and nutty notes. Construction was impressive and lasted me 2 hours. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

My treat smoke is a arturo fuente hemingway short story. My weekend smoke is a Oliva serie g, so I do enjoy a cameroon wrapper.Now then, the appearance of this cigar was sceptical, pronounced veins,but don't judge a cigar by its appearance.Like alot of cigars you have to get past the 1st 3rd before the flavours develop. Soon as you start the 2nd 3rd that cameroon wrapper smacks you in the mouth,and there is a small heat,the flavour us delicious,.The burn line was wavey to start,but settled down.The draw was perfect for me.Not to much smoke but enough to satisfy..The 3rd 3rd wasn't to intense, super super smoke.Am now debating if 10 of these at £68,is better than 5 Oliva serie g at £44..Of course it is.Going to order a tin tonight..
