I made a big mistake by going for the very best cigars when I first started smoking stogies. It would probably have been a better idea to start with the cheaper sticks, then buy the odd one or 2 great cigars for a treat, but when you start with a padron 1964 followed my my father and cohiba, well, where do you go from there?
I will tell you where. You buy this amazing cigar! I saw reviews for this and decided to get one and my god. Oh my. What a smoke! I cannot stress how good this is. 3 distinct flavour changes, each as complex and delicious as any part of ANY other cigar. I would rather buy a box of these and smoke 1 a week rather than an average or poor cigar once a day.
This is an amazing price too. They cost only a little bit less in the states where obviously they usually pay far less as the government over there does not rinse smokers out of their cash.
If you love cigars you will love this, it is perfection. Perfect construction, perfect draw. If you buy a box and put them in your smoking rotation they will make your life better!

Very enjoyable smoke. Lovely easy draw with plenty of flavoursome smoke. Top end of medium for me but I am new to cigars so not unexpected. Burnt evenly throughout. Construction aside it was a pleasure to smoke not having to think about it which is the whole point yes? Will be ordering again and great value for the price I think. M

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

Id love to do an in depth review detailing every draw and every note but there is absolutely no point. This cigar is perfectly constructed and tastes incredible. Youd be happy to smoke it after achieving something spectacular or if it was all thats left in your humidor and to me that points to perfection. Buy it, you wont be disappointed.

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
