Alec Bradley Orchant Seleccion Chubby Cigar - 1 Single by Chris

I?m new to cigars so still tuning my pallet, however I did enjoy this, fantastic construction producing an effortless draw. I did however have to correct an uneven burn a couple of times but I believe that?s insignificant giving how well it performed in all other areas.

Alec Bradley Orchant Seleccion Skinny Cigar - 1 Single by Matthew

Picked one of these up in the St James store today. A really nice smoke for a fantastic price. Lots of black pepper and coffee, always a favourite flavour profile for me. Notes of cinnamon, orange and toffee keeps the interest going over the roughly 40 minutes smoking time. I paired it with a dark Christmas ale which suited it well. I usually go for a bigger ring gage but would really recommend this.

Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Flor Fina 8-5-8 Cigar - 1 Single by Zdzislaw

I thought I would give one of these a go courtesy of the reputation afforded to the maker and the reviews I have seen here and elsewhere. First impressions were of a bit of fragility in construction, especially around the cap, which I found a bit delicate and an attempt at punching failed so I resorted to a follow up cut which still resulted in some peeling. But after a bit of tidying up it turned out OK. First light was pleasant followed by nuts and mellow fruitfulness to coin a phrase. It opened up nicely and developed over the next period. But the final third became a bit dull and monotonous, with just deep smokiness and little else. I got a gentle 1 hour 20 out of it. I was mindful of the strength profile as described, I veer towards the medium end in my preference, if your taste is for the fuller variety then this may be more to your liking. So overall quite decent, happy to try, but I doubt I'll be coming back for more.

AVO Classic Uvezian Puritos - 1 Single by Hayder

I enjoyed this cigar all be it a bit small, it has a decent smoke and the flavour was not bad, especially with a black coffee. I did have to relight it a few times. I would buy it again. I took me roughly 10 minutes to smoke it.
