I called into the London cigar lounge on a recent trip to the capital, and asked for a a smooth smoke, I was advised to try this cigar. I didn't think it would be as it is described as full strength. How wrong I was and agree with all of the comments already given about the quality and the smoke. Thanks to the cigar lounge assistance and their advice.

Really enjoyed everything about this cigar. It's right up there with the very best new world cigars. Well worth a punt if you haven't tried one yet.

Not for me, putting it kindly. Construction was actually alright on mine, as was the burn. The flavour wasn't particularly pleasant, however. At best, it's not massively offensive, but even at this price, or even at just slightly more, you can find better.

Good to start with, but after 2-3 uses, and still full of fuel, the ignition wouldn't spark.

The aroma is nice, not as much as other cigars I have smoked. Currently smoking and currntly working toward the last 3rd, I can appreciate this cigar and rich, rich flavours it provides. First 3rd is a slight sweetness, I can taste the coffee, earth and cedar. I belive my pallete is improving and tasting the cigar notes. As the you go down the last 3rd it becomes more earthy and woody notes. It does get a bit bitter (maybe smoking it too fast, still a nub here). Maybe slight peppery notes for me all though this is subjective. Regarding the burn, was fairly even at first, but u can correct this by pointing the cigar where the uneven burn sorts itself out. (Were the un burnt part of the wrapper leaf is let it face upwards it works).

Currently somking the Alec Bradley Orchant Seleccion (last 3rd), this was suggested by a nice chap from the St James's St branch of C.Gars. I found this to be a very aromatic (pleasant smell). In terms of taste notes (this subjective) I found it to have an ever so slight sweetness, I tasted pepper notes and spicey notes, will need buy again (all though a bit above my budget) to taste the coffee (espresso) note. Construction very well made I did have to touch it up and relight a few times but probably due to me rather than the cigar itself. I always find myself finding difficult to strike the delicate balance of not smoking too fast as the cigar does get hot and leaving it too late for the next puff (I am getting there). The smoke was very creamy. I love the spiceiness on the lips and tip of the toungue especially when retro haling.
I found all the cigars I have bought from C.Gars to have a creamy smoke to them be it a small 32 ring gauge or the bigger 40+ ring gauge cigars. The friendly chap did mention to me that the Mayfiar branch have more of the cigars I was after which w
