A.J. Fernandez Blend 15 Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Christopher
Slight toothiness to the wrapper which was extremely thin and delicate - as others have stated it is incredibly fragile and prone to ripping although mine did not do so at the cap but under the band. This thankfully didnt badly effect the smoke, which was pleasant throughout and full of deep cedar and earth flavours - tempered occasionally with a hint of nuttiness and spice although these were difficult to differentiate over the strength of the woody flavour. Obviously not as nuanced as other cigars but theres nothing wrong with a lot of strong flavours as long as they are good ones! The draw was a little on the loose side but this complimented the flavours by making it an easy smoke and it burned relatively evenly throughout. Will definitely try this one again to check for consistency but otherwise well worth trying for yourself.

Got this in a very good value CGars sampler a while back and decided to give the short robusto a try today. I found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable cigar. Gorgeous oily, wrapper, good construction and draw, medium to full bodied and sweet tobacco flavours. Id recommend this to anyone looking to try something a bit different.

Aladino Cameroon Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Jonathan
Milder than the Corojo Robusto but no less enjoyable. Initially some very nice sweet notes (caramelised apples) that fade to pleasant leathery and earthy notes. I have now smoked two Robustos from the Aladino brand and I will certainly be coming back for more.

Aladino Corojo Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Jonathan
A simply beautiful smoke. An easy, smooth draw and very neat burn. Some delicious spice and leather notes. Very excited to have discovered the Aladino brand.

Arran Quarter Cask - 56.2% 70cl
by Matt
What a nice surprise this bottle was. My first foray into cask strength, which after some experimentation, I settled on just adding a little bit of ice (with no water) despite usually drinking single malt neat. Its a very tasty drink and I will definitely be buying more of it in the future.

Nice easy tobacco to smoke. I never needed tp relight it. Nice aroma, but the flavours in taste were lacking. Nevertheless, thoroughly enjoyable.
