Casa Turrent 1973 Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by William

This came as part of a monthly subscription pack. Impressive appearance with a very fancy band. I looked forward to smoking it. Unfortunately, it was rolled very tight with a difficult draw and kept going out. My trusty Perfecdraw failed with it because it wasn't plugged in just one or two places and as I kept going further in with it I was left with a channel right through to the burning end meaning that wisps of smoke were going out to atmosphere and I was drawing just air! Loath to throw away 2/3rds of it, I resorted to cutting it up, shredding it by hand and smoking it in a pipe. It ended up as a pleasant smoke, with a nice cigar flavour and aftertaste. I shall keep this solution in mind for the future if this happens again.

Charatan Original Petit Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Mark

This was only the third cigar i'd smoked in recent times, and even I find it mild to the point of being boring. I seemed to get through it quite quickly, probably because I wasn't getting much out of it. Not unpleasant, just more nothingness really.

Cohiba Wide Short Cigar - 1 Single by Mark

I'm still a beginner and this would be my first Cuban, but I can't honestly say I enjoyed this. It had quite a bit of bitterness for me, and quite a harsh tatse overall. But maybe that's because I don't have enough experience.

AVO Classic Uvezian Puritos - 1 Single by Mark

I've just had this, it burned very well, good darw. I found it pretty mild at start, not tonnes of flavour, then built a little toward the end, but I was getting a little bitterness too. Maybe it would have settled a bit more if it was bigger, but you run out of cigar by then. I'd probably actually give it a 2.5, so it gets a slightly generous 3.

Inca Secret Blend Reserva D Oro Stumpy Cigar - 1 Single by Lee

Nice Saturday afternoon smoke. Nice even burn that only needed touching up once but thatwas probably down to my lighting up skills Nice draw,good taste and plenty of smoke with a good aroma Held ash very well (all the way to the end!!!) Only complaint was the label took some getting off!!! Smoked until it was getting to hot for my lips lol Definitely buying more.

Plasencia Alma Del Fuego Candente Cigar - 1 Single by Ross

Bought a variety of Plasencia from their range after enjoying the "del Tribu" and the 'core' range; I have only tasted one. As with almost all Plasencia I have smoked, a very good construction with plenty of smoke. After the first half or so, I was ready to put this in the category of 'interesting; a good change up rather than a regular smoke. But the final third really shifted into something more and I would now look at buying more. For me, it's a far more agreeable blend throughout, compared to the "Alma Fuerte" which dosn't quite hit my palate, but it offers a deeper richness than the "Tribu". It is perhaps a nice midpoint, if not quite either! As always with cigars, each to their own...
