An easy smoke with a very even burn. It was definitely smooth, slightly sweet, and lasted a good 25 minutes. Sadly, there's little more to say than that. No real tasting notes, no changes as you go through the thirds, and no real surprises. Great if you want a cigar that you don't need to think about, but not one to sit back and enjoy as you'll get pretty bored.

These are brilliant. Lovely flavour and smoke perfectly.

This is a really nice smooth smoke. Used it in lots of different pipes (Briar, Poker ,Churchwarden and others) and smokes really well.
Open the tin and it smells good too.
Not been pipe smoking for long but this is my favourite smoke our of twenty plus that I have tried.

Disappointing to say the least. Ordered two of these on the Monday, delivered on the Thursday and tried smoking one on the Sunday. The condition wasn’t too great but decided to give it a try.
From the minute I cut it the outer started unraveling to the point where it became impossible to smoke. I normally go instore and never had this issue. My first home delivery has resulted in this utter disappointment.

Picked this as one of my favourites and actually prefer it to the especiale no 1 as find it less time consuming and easier to smoke
As per typical montecristo smells lovely lit and required no touch ups washed superbly with well stacked grey ask with a lovely light Cuban twang-a lovely cigar to smoke on a rainy day tucked up in the summerhouse

This review is based on the 10g sample, which arrived just about right with only about 5 minutes drying required. I found the calm and smooth quality somewhat ruined by an ever present potential tongue bite always hiding round the corner, slowing down and staying on top of managing the burn is an absolute must for this blend. It took nearly a full bowl to find the sweet spot.
Taste wise, it has definite coconut mouth feel, similar to the after taste from coconut water. This is inescapable but welcome, and the maple syrup sweetness provides a smoothness which fades in and out. I found it hard to find the dark chocolate apart from on the occasional retrohale of you're really thinking about it.
A good blend but too much work and not enough full flavour for my personal liking.
