I asked the team at CGars to suprise me with a replacement cigar for the one I ordered which was no longer available.
Happy that they they sent this, a well constructed cigar with a good draw and burn.Definetley livens up towards the end, and lasted a good 55 minutes.For the price, I will certainly be buying some more once I get a bigger humidor....

I’m currently smoking one of these with my morning coffee next to the pool in Cyprus. Not getting any coffee notes or blueberries, frankly I’d be alarmed if I got the latter. What I am getting is a delicious smooth smoke exactly as I’d expect from a Dominican Connecticut with a perfect burn and a firm well striated ash. The tins of five are good value and very convenient for carrying around.

I've tried many cigarillos from cgars, and these are the best for the price by far! The tapered end means they don't burn too fast, and there's no need to age them to reduce harshness. And of course, the flavour is great.

Bit of a bargain to be honest, two absolutely world class cigars, each at least an hour long smoke, plus a decent all metal, slightly odd shaped cutter...although it ties in with Plasencias 'Hex' cigars, so does make sense.
Cigars are beautiful looking tri banded affairs with thick, oily, dark chocolate coloured wrappers. Cut with a guillotine it provided a perfect draw and massive amounts of cool white smoke.
This is a full on Nicaraguan powerhouse, full bodied and pretty much full strength, definitely eat beforehand. Lots of spicy pepper upfront alongside rich, earthy notes and massive amounts of thick, slightly sweet cedar. Adds some nice roasted nut and leather before finishing with bittersweet dark chocolate and coffee.
Flawless construction, zero corrections needed, easily better than most Cubans I've had in recent years.

I received this as my mystery cigar and really enjoyed this, maybe my favourite so far. I'm fairly new to cigar smoking, and this was the first one I got dark chocolate from, which is a flavour i've been wanting. A good dark taste overall throughout, tonnes of smoke output and lasted forever, two hours. It just didn't seem to be going anywhere, but I enjoyed it throughout. It did burn a bit unevenly at times, and just started to unravel at the head right at the end, but it was only a few puffs from being done by that point anyway. I'll definitely be buying this one again.

I generally rate Plasencias, they are enjoyable and smooth with a good draw. However, in my most recent stick I found a huge chunk of midrib that should never have made it into the cigar. It restricted the draw and made for harsh, bitter flavours. Fault can't be ascribed to Cgars here, but nonetheless, it was a waste of £24.
