Im still fairly new to cigars and I thought Id give this a go. Its very strong for its size! Very peppery in the first third, mellowing out towards the middle third with subtle earthy notes, and hints of coffee, which intensify towards the end. Great construction, good smooth draw with plenty of smoke, nice, even burn throughout. Not bad at all for the price; definitely worth a try.

American Blends Cherry and Vanilla - I'm not a fan of very sweet aromatics, so I felt some trepidation opening the pack. My first impression was of a cherryade and cream soda aroma, rather than fresh cherries and vanilla pods, so even though it was pleasant, I feared for the worst upon ignition. I needn't have worried: this smoked beautifully and revealed sophisticated caramel nut nuances halfway down the bowl. Although this one starts out as a trip to the funfair, it soon becomes a night at the opera. Bravo!

I bought this with the fuente eye of the shark. It was £65 for the pair of them, but they are both in my top 10 all time smokes. If I could afford quality like this every day I would smoke them every day.
The opus cigars are renowned world over for their outstanding flavour and great construction and this didn’t disappoint. It is strong and complex, had a nice loose draw but still had a slow burn. The quality of the tobaccos is so evident, from the first draw to the last it was nice cool smoke and ever changing complex flavours which are totally different in the retrohale than on the pallet.
Perfection

American Blends Ultimum - Sophisticated, yet beginner-friendly smoke with refreshing cherry and silky caramel. All fans of cherry aromatics should try this one for the zingy packet aroma and surprisingly soothing room note. Any place/any time kind of smoke.

American Blends Kentucky Nougat - Beautiful aroma in the packet. Not too sleepy or wakey-wakey, hangs somewhere inbetween and makes for a good all-purpose, anytime smoke. As with the coffee caramel, I found that the flavouring lingered somewhat, but the room note and smooth smoke more than made up for it.

American Blends Black and Brown - Big fan of this one due to its understated but complex sweetness. Cocoa rules here and it makes for a comforting smoke that can be enjoyed any time of day or night. Reminiscent of popcorn, warm cookies and hot chocolate.
