Great cigar , & great smoke.
Recently got this within the BBQ sampler , and was really surprised with it.
I wasn't expecting much... As I've never heard of the brand or heard anything/seen a review on the blend.
But yeah it was a great , great smoke.
Burned evenly throughout nearly all of it , had to retouch about half way down just because of a slight tunneling , it was only a tiny alignment error in the roll & quickly aligned once the retouch was done. a
Aside from that single issue though the roll quality was great & draw was excellent , and the profile was great too.
Fantastic taste on the retro-hale, great spice notes there especially in the 2nd & 3rd quarters I found.
I personally had this alongside a sweeter coffee , & personally I found the cigar sang great that way.
Great earthy notes , good spice & nice cocoa notes there in the 1st & 2nd quarters too.
Would definitely recommend , a great smoke for the price.

Beautiful looking cigar, dark chocolate brown, slightly toothy wrapper, nice even fill, nice band, really compliments the dark wrapper.
Cut with a single V, draw was easy and consistent throughout, smoke output was massive and incredibly dense, surprisingly cool throughout considering the easy draw.
Lots of chocolate upfront with a subtle sweet edge, shifts to a dryer, bittersweet dark chocolate alongside cacao powder and roasted nut, ends with dry leather and dark roasted coffee beans with just a touch of pepper. Solid medium body, slight throat hit but I'd say low strength.
Ash was pretty flaky but it held for a half inch or so, burn line was a touch wobbly but didn't cause any issues and didn't require touch ups or relights,, definitely worth buying, probably worth buying in bulk if you can as an everyday smoke.

Call this my walking cigar. Very light and unfortunately I get through this very quickly. But a great introduction to cigars for anyone starting out and a very good price for a cuban cigar. I always have a few of these sat in my humidor. No frills but you know what you are getting with these

Wow what can I say.. Absolutely amazing cigar, lasted well over 2 hours, had to touch up a few times, but that's not really a problem. Probably closer to a mild cigar. Tastes reminded of a Davidoff signature no 2
Ordered a couple more to sit in my humidor

Perhaps I'm just a wuss, but this was too harsh for me. Definitely full tasting throughout but towards the end it was too much for me. If you like them strong and have a better tolerance, then this could be for you, but I struggled to get any of the tasting notes. A very even burn though with no touch ups required, and an easy 20 minutes at least from it. I feel bad leaving just 2 stars, but I'll be steering clear of this one in future.

Dropped a star due to a construction issue and it unravelling ever so slightly. I'm new to cigars and this was thoroughly enjoyable. Incredibly sweet but a very nice flavour profile which developed through the thirds. The final third got a little full for my current taste but the first and second were great. Definite one for a sweet tooth. A lot of smoke for a little cigar, a pleasant smell for even non smokers, and a pretty much even burn. I managed an easy 25 minutes even puffing away happily. This will be going in my basket again.
