Conquistador Churchill Cigar - 1 Single
by Kenneth
As a morning coffee, relaxing in the garden smoke, I think these cigars are way beyond their price point! For me, enjoying a cigar is all about time and place. This cigar is always a pleasure as my mid morning smoke. I always buy the Gran Toro, and have never been disappointed! Nice and white/ nutmeg peppery on the light up (as most good Esteli cigars are!) Creamy, vanilla notes, with a lovely wafer note through the second third, and a cedar/ oakey end to the cigar. The construction, in my experience, is exemplary! Fantastic even burn, white to light gray ash that holds on well, and I very, very rarely need to touch up. I’ve never had to relight and smoke output is fantastic! I’ve experienced significantly more issues with significantly more expensive cigars from the big name brands! I’d love to know which factory rolls these cigars, but it appears to be a bit of a secret! I have, and will, be buying more of these wonderful cigars!

The best chewable tobacco I've found, sweet and fruity, unlike most dark smokey products out there. Dedicated chewing tobaccos in the uk are rare and do Id recommend trying non flavoured pipe tobaccos. I guess Virginia and perique is a good place to start!

Certainly not a bad blend. The rum topping is present in the retrohale but is quickly lost in the taste. As an aromatic this is lacking in taste, but as a tobacco blend it is certainly a pleasant and smooth smoke. Due to this, it is not one I will buy in bulk but not a wasted sample by any means.

Standard mixture of such an apt name as this could not be anymore of a middle of the road blend. For starters there were no flavours of rich chocolate and coffee which was the only real attraction for me, so my disappointment started there. Sadly the bland mix provided nothing to re-interest me. The leaves used are well blended and no single one stands above the other, so you get a subtle mix that provides ... not much. I will say this is an easy smoke, easy to keep lit, didn't provide any tongue bite, and was definitely a medium in everything from room note to strength. I can't say it's bad, but equally it's not great. So 3 stars, bang in the middle it is.

Blackbird Unkind Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Andrew
The cigar has a nice open draw. On light up I get a blast of black pepper through the retro hale. The draw flavours are notes of leather, the smoke is like a thick cream. The flavours develop into an oily brazil nut with cream.
The 2nd third sees the flavours deepen, I get notes of oak and coffee.
The final third is heavy with oak and nutty notes.
A great smoke, full of flavour, perfect burn.

A great snuff for when you want a decent nicotine bump but not blow your head off with menthol or flavours you'll be tasting for the next half an hour. Perfect texture for a new sniffer like myself and a lovely tobacco note. There's not a lot to pick out from this one but it delivers and doesn't linger longer than you'd want.
