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.

I received this cigar a few months ago as part of a subscription package. I was carrying out a stock check of my humidor and found it .
So as the weather isn’t great I decided to try it out.
Now I tend to smoke New World - Robusto - Toro’s or Lancero’s, so not my normal smoke .
The construction was OK. and it had been well rested at the correct humidity.
A lot of black pepper on the cold draw and it toasted nicely
Then from the very start, a bitter very bitter and very unpleasant taste that lingered in the mouth after 5 minutes it went in the Bin .

This cigar came as my mystery cigar and initially I was very happy about this. I’m not one to judge a cigar by the size as I smoked many smaller cigars that have been outstanding.
Upon first light I smoked through the closed foot which was spicy and woody. I found this pleasant. As I got into the first third of the cigar it already had a heavy bitterness that you may find at the very end of any other cigar. This bitterness increased in intensity as I smoked through the cigar and found myself regularly reaching for my coffee to balance out the taste. I didn’t get many tasting notes from this cigar apart from bitter burnt notes, heavy antique wood notes and the occasional burnt caramel.
One silver lining of this cigar is the construction. I was able to smoke the cigar without ashing it and even managed to stand it up on its ash when I was finished with it.
Overall I was disappointed by the cigar and would not smoke it again.
