First stick to smoke out of this month’s subscription box (Nov ’22), really elegant smoke, cream-y and sweet - a touch milder than my preference but nuanced and gentle - a nice daytime smoke perhaps. Still thinking about it the next day, will get more.

An excellent cigar from Honduras!
Medium to full-bodied strength.
Earthy notes with a slight nuance of dried plums and/or beetroot, smoked oakwood and Borodinsky bread.
No leather notes at all, which I personally find very pleasing!
The smoke is smooth and rich but not creamy.
The cigar burns very well, and the draw is perfect.
The flavour doesn't overstay its welcome on your palate. It gets a 10/10 from me.

Great tasting cigar. Nice subtle peppery but not at all over powering, smooth and flavourful right to the end (i was sorry to see it go!). IÂ’ll be adding this to my frequent purchases.

Its a bad cigar in my opinion
Very tight - hard to get a good draw !!
As for flavor im getting a very bitter camel cigarette dog end type flavor -its very bitter
With a bitter tang
Theres no significant strength its just bitterness
It also stinks its rank
Ive had better quality for less theirs a couple of the £3 mark cigars on list which are way better
Even Royal Dutch are better and they are approx £2.60
Even at same cost to a single hamlet I would choose the hamlet !! Disapointing.

So I am back to report on my findings further to my initial review back in September 2020 and I am happy to report that my second tasting was considerably better than my first. I can fully appreciate and understanding why this cigar is held in high esteem. The draw was superb with a slight resistance off a straight cut and it absolutely hit the ground running. It started with a deep liquorice almost gingerbread flavour which was delicious. I smoked it out in the garden with temperatures between 23-25 and it definitely performed better in these conditions. Lots of smoke, mild to medium throughout and the construction/burn was extraordinary as I didnt have to re light it at any time! Honestly it was a delight and I am so relieved considering I had bought a bunch of singles plus a box. Based on todays performance and whilst it was a 92/93 point cigar I do feel that it has more to show so I am very confident that the others I have will improve over time which is an exciting prospect. Ill be diving back in now and again especially with the Euros on the horizon.
