I really wanted to like this one. The tin note is incredible but just didn't transfer to the smoke. I was expecting quite a heavy topping flavour that just never showed up. A rare miss from C&D who normally deliver exactly what they say. This is a popular blend and perhaps my taste buds were on a break but none of the bowls I smoked gave me much flavour.

Not overly impressed by this one unfortunately. You get a mild darkness but there's very little else and what's there is lacking. There's better blends to get that nice full flavour, but maybe this is okay if you're dipping your toes in. The shag cut is fine but you still need to pack this somewhat light as I had trouble keeping it lit in a small bowl.

I was given one of these by a pal, then by coincidence was listening to a podcast one night and someone mentioned "by the book" Las Villas.
The next minute I purchased two of these and one "by the book."
Fuller, bolder cigar, brilliant construction, always enjoyable.
If you like these, have a look at "by the book."

Started off well, but after 1/3 it all went downhill from there. I was constantly having to sort out the uneven burn and then it seemed like the wrapper wouldn't burn at all. After halfway I noticed the wrapper had cracked near the head and it started to unravel, had to throw it in the end. Maybe I just got a bad one but I won't be buying again

Very aromatic on opening the bag, the aroma/room note on lighting is amazing, but the taste is very mild and light compared to the actual smell. Quite nice and mellow overall - I actually got tongue bite with this, but I think that was more my own fault as it was outdoors and a little windy, so I was puffing quite hard to get it lit before the lighter went out!

Cohiba Club Cigarillos - 1 Single
by Anthony
Well cohiba club arrived today, just smoked it this evening. I can't compare it to montecristo or R&J yet,as awaiting for message to confirm stock arrived,however with some excitement I got my deck chair out in the garage,door ajar and lit it.
The cigarillo started with a brief sparkle like a sparkler. Very impressed with amout of smoke.My first retro hale,certainly confirmed there was a scotch bonnet chilli in this stick.It was difficult to nail down any particular flavour,with out the pepper sizzle I would say it's a close to medium. Determined to enjoy this ,my first taste of cuban,I tried no more retro hales for a bit ,approaching half way I found it a bit earthy,but mellowed nicely. The last half a cedery taste hung on my lips,peppery taste had calmed down. I was starting to enjoy it,had a slight unravelling, but it held.The last inch and a half were really nice,then the fingertips were heating up.
So would I buy again,well at £3.50 a time for 10 mins,I dont know, Would like to try it in a half corona,but probably a luxury I can't justify.
Not a bad cigarillo,b
