Really wanted to try this one as it was one CS Lewis and Tolkien Smoked. This Tobacco is a Shag cut and has a nice sweet taste but I found this to burn quite hot and to be quite bland.
It’s a blend that has probably changed a lot over the years and probably not for the better.
No doubt there are still fans of this Tobacco but I’m not one of them, I was hoping to like this one but I find this comparable with cheaper blends like Golden Blends etc and I don’t think I’ll purchase more. I prefer more interesting blends that are a bit stronger and offer more flavour.

Still early into my cigar journey (month 2) and learning every day.. tried a Davidoff Churchill and gave me dizziness and headache, perhaps too soon for my ‘baby’ pallet. Based on recommendations tried this next, and was really enjoyable.
Firm and well packed cigar with best draw I’ve had so far. Mild but packed with flavour, and so well put together held ash forever. Will be buying more.

I had been waiting for a while for this to become available in the UK, and I wasn't disappointed. I know that celebrity spirits collaborations sometimes get a bad reputation, but when it comes to Bourbon they usually tend to work (if you haven't tried Wild Turkey Longbranch then you should - Matthew McConaughey deserved an Oscar just for helping to create that beauty). This has all the best qualities of a top shelf bourbon but with a little Tennessee twang, like BT's Eagle Rare if it was "watered down" with a dash of Jack Daniels. It may not appeal to everyone's palate, but it works for me and if you never try it you will never know. Go on, you know that you want to.
Named after Chris Stapleton's debut album "Traveler". Presumably they couldn't name it after his recent single as "White Horse" is still under copyright.

Nice cigar and paired nicely with a wine makers Rioja. Hints of leather and pepper and a woody overtone. Lots of creamy smoke. Only downside was it kept going out and an uneven burn and had to re-light a few times. I V cut this and did not have to do anything else to it. 4 out of 5 for me and good for the price.

This was a fantastic cigar to smoke. Solid construction, great draw and an even burn throughout without the need to re-light. I got just over 50 minutes out of it and it had great flavours throughout.

I was really looking forward to this cigar but sadly it was a big disappointment .Shorty after lighting,the external wrapper started to lift and peel away to the point that it was almost unsmoked able .. This is the 1st cigar were the quality has been so poor .. which is a worry as my daughter got 4 ,as a Father’s Day Present..
