Aladino Connecticut Santi Cigar - 1 Single
by Jennifer
This was a really stunning smoke. Firstly the draw and burn were absolutely perfect. The aroma reminded me of the seaside/salty/minerals with some slight herbaceous notes. Flavours were lovely - a perfect balance of cedar/wood, cream, coffee and quite a pronounced sweet coconut flavour with some subtle peppery notes at the end, all whilst being very smooth and very well balanced. A must buy and a good price too!

This, to me, is a mild ok smoke. nothing really jumps out as particularly impressive but its an ok blend. perhaps just not suited for my taste buds. However it might suit you much better, you could get a sample and try it.

In terms of materials, the key ring is sturdy and hard to open (which is a good thing in my opinion). The main leather component (which has a great leathery smell!) is very solid and strong, and has a subtle "Adorini" emblem stamped in the side, just under and to the left of the metal stud. The little loop of leather which connects to the key-ring element on the other hand, looks quite thin, so when compared to the thick leather of the main area, it looks a little flimsy, like it's going to break. Whether it will or not however, is another question. I hope that with it being leather, it will be a lot more robust than how it looks. Overall, still very happy with the key-ring, and it's going to be attached to my motorcycle keys so I can enjoy a cheeky cigar when on the road!

Sitting in the sampling lounge in the city with this cigar half smoked. I purchased it on the recommendation of the team and so far I'm really pleased with it. I was in the mood for a smooth / creamier smoke and this one definitely hits the mark there. Some hint of more complex flavours but so far very happy with this considering the price point.

Not to my personal taste, rather too bitter.
Uneven burn throughout, requiring constant touch ups to little effect. Too much of a struggle to be enjoyable.

Wow what a lovely smoke! The taste of this cigar is wonderful and burns happily for a long time, making it the perfect cigar to relax with. The taste is smooth, mellow and dreamy and it leaves a great aftertaste. The cigar did burn to one side slightly, but I find this with a lot of cigars I've tried, probably as I'm a bit of a novice and haven't truly mastered the art of circular lighting at the tip yet. I also like the pointy end, which gives you the option to cut the smoke hole however big you like, so that you can get your own preferred amount of draw from the cigar. Despite the issue that I had with irregular burn on the outer wrap, which didn't really go too far out of alignment for me, and the centre of the cigar still burnt evenly, I will happily be ordering more, as the experience of smoking one of these is certainly not one to be missed!
