This was the first cigar I ever smoked, and whilst the flavours werent too complex it was a really nice smoke.

Arran Amarone Cask Finish - 70cl 50%
by Staff
The Isle of Arran is a little secret and is judged due to its name. The “Isle” gives the impression of a smoky Islay whisky but it’s quite the opposite. You won’t get that heavy hit of Peat Smoke at all. What you will receive is a smooth, fruity dram similar to Highland style whisky. Arran Amarone Cask Finish is a very special dram. After eight years of maturing in oak, it is finished in the highest of quality Amarone wine casks from a producer in northern Italy. Amarone is an iconic Italian Red from Tuscany, which adds and draws that sweet, fresh fruit from the Arran Spirit. It is bottled at 50% but drinks like a 40%.
A fine aroma of Battenberg Cake and honey roasted gammon. With typical highland sweetness, vanilla, honey etc…
A tannin filled first flavour, a soft reminder that it could probably be enjoyed with a cherry smoke cheddar. A creaminess comes through and puts you at that typical beach you went to on a school trip - licking a 99er - the subtle saltiness and strawberry syrupiness adds to this delusion.
It’s probably one of my favourite drams - complex and accesses

Nice taste. Burns evenly. I found the draw quite hard though. Maybe that is because it’s my first box pressed cigar. I prefer the other Aladinos from the sampler.
Will still give it 4 out of 5 for flavour though.

A little sweetness. Subtle spice. No bitterness. Smooth. Medium body. Burns evenly. Good draw.
Good value at £14.

Im novice in the brotherhood of the leaf, bought this one due the reviews and for me it worth every penny. Not so strong, 15min smoking and perfect with good cup of coffee. Definitely will buy again.
