I love these cigars, start mellow but the flavour soon kicks in, some nice spiciness toward the final 3rd and the finish is lovely.
My only complaint is that theyre so moreish I want to constantly smoke them :)

As someone who is fairly new to smoking cigars I have tried a handful of different brands over the last few months, one of which was an Alec Bradley which I loved.
So with that in mind I thought I would treat myself to a box of these shortys.
I smoked my first last night and I am half way through my second as I write this review.
The first third is sweet and creamy which then develops into a warming pepper taste in the second third of the smoke. You are then rewarded with a subtle spice hit in the last third to finish things off.
With a ring gauge of 50 it feels nice to hold and gives a good hours smoking time. The burn is even, with a good draw and plenty of smoke.
For a cigar for under a tenner you can’t go wrong with these and I will definitely be buying again

Warm with rich aromas at a medium body. Very flavoursome with hints of sandalwood and fruits. I got a leisurely and pleasant 25 minute smoke out of it. The pull was firmer than the AVO Domaine but that didnt take away from the overall experience.
I would highly recommend. Im extremely impressed with the AVO line.

Ha, what a beast of a cigar to handle! If only for this reason its a worthwhile experiment in ones endurance.
This smoker was not overwhelmed by the flavours though preparing for disappointment I was pleasantly surprised to find a bit of sweetness and leathery texture that settled nicely a third in. Its pleasant if not massively engaging but considering just how much smoke there is with this one Id declare this consistency as a bonus. At no point does it become unpleasant or a chore.
Burn was even and construction solid and Ive encountered no problems. Again, a surprise considering its magnitude.
Its hard to deem it a go to smoke, neither the flavour nor the vitola suggests that. But its a great experience all the same and you should try it if you have the time and courage.

I’m new smoking with a pipe.
It’s more of a skill and art form than many might imagine.
This has been one of my best tobaccos out of the three I bought.
It’s relaxing yet can stimulate your philosophical senses.
The taste isn’t overpowering and it stayed lit well, whereas my other tobaccos where a little more challenging being new to pipe smoking. This one I’d advise for someone new to using a pipe.
It also mixes very well with L&B Menthol normal cigarette tobacco which made a good companion and mixture for my tastes!

Very nice. Quite strong, but lots of dark flavours here, cocoa and pepper. Build quality and burn good also - only two ash falls in 25 mins! 5 Stars therefore.
