In my early teens, a couple of friends and I would sneak into an off-licence and buy some cheap cigars - Hamlet, Henri Winterman's Cafe Creme, you know the sort. At the time we thought we were the bee's knees.
Well, this cigar has brought back those heady days. And not in a good way.
Construction is excellent. The burn is razor-sharp all the way. I didn't need to touch up with my lighter once.
But the flavour? Bland, not exactly harsh, but hardly smooth. Dull. Uninteresting. Never again.
My overwhelming impression? I'm sorry to say this, but it just tasted "cheap".
I bought some H Upmann half-coronas at the same time I bought these. They were only marginally more expensive, but were a world away in terms of flavour, quality and - most important of all - enjoyment.
Sometimes a misspent youth is worth revisiting. Not this time.

A pleasant tropical fruit aroma with hints of hickory nuts. Easy to light and burns even and quite cool, advisable to be smoked slowly. Overall a nice aromatic blend to be enjoyed peacefully - typical for a rainy day scenario. Michael - C.Gars Ltd

A nice aromatic blend, although quite full bodied in flavouring and medium in taste. Great aroma with hints of sweet fruit with spicy undertones. Burns well and can easily be enjoyed peacefully. To get the best smoking experience, it's best to smoke slowly. Michael - C.Gars Ltd

A refreshing natural smoking experience with pleasing aromas of lemon and honey, medium bodied yet providing a smooth and gentle smoke. Easy to burn and is enjoyable to smoke throughout the day. I would recommend for all pipe smokers, even for the novice to try! Michael - C.Gars Ltd

Medium in strength, providing a medium to full bodied taste profile. Expect a traditional classic English blend. Although the flavour and aroma isn't intense compared to other similar English mixtures, it's more gentle which I personally enjoy as it isn't too overwhelming. This blend can be enjoyed at any time of the day. Michael - C.Gars Ltd

Perhaps one of my personal favourites from the Alsbo aromatic flavoured tobacco blends. A perfect balanced taste of Vanilla with hints of Black Cavendish, mild yet smooth and provides a cool smoke. The tobacco has delightful scents and aromas, enjoyable to smoke and has pleasing room notes. It burns properly without any issues from my experience. A good choice for beginners to explore with different flavours as well as for the more experience smokers who enjoy smoking flavoured tobacco. I feel that the mild Vanilla flavours can be appreciated at any time of the day paired with or without a drink of your favourite beverage. I would highly recommend to all pipe smokers who want to experiment with aromatic flavoured tobacco. – Michael, C.Gars Ltd
