An hour of smooth, mellow bliss! In my opinion, for the price, this is pretty unbeatable. Handmade, long filler, quality embossed band that vaguely resembles Bolivar’s, excellent construction, burn and draw (and it measures 5 1/2 in length, not 5” as listed by CGars, so that was a nice surprise!) This was my first non-Cuban smoke and I’m thoroughly impressed, had lots of earthy, nutty flavours with a spicy, wood finish. Flavours ignite early on and develop nicely throughout, I will definitely be buying more of these! Second order from CGars which included free mints and a pen! Thanks a million, CGars :)

I bought this tray to compliment my Venezia deluxe and give me a bit more storage. The tray is as you would expect a nice well made humidor tray, however on receiving it I tried it for size prior to seasoning only to find it didnt fit. It was slightly too large in the width and bearing in mind there may be a slight increase post seasoning. It may have been a one off due to a manufacturing faux Pas but it was easily rectified with a bit of work on a sander to slightly decrease the width. Once in it definitely complimented the humidor although the inclusion of 4 small triangular pieces of cedar would have been nice in order to use as supports instead of resting on dividers (just a thought Adorini) : )....Happy enough with it despite the small glitch.

Firstly can I say I am relatively new to cigars and as such have been trying various brands, types etc. On looking at reviews I decided to try the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos #3 and the double robusto, having tried both I can safely say the double robusto was an amazing smoke right from the outset. It lit very easily the burn was crisp and very even oodles of smoke and lots of taste. First third was cedar and leather with a subtle hint of sweetness this maintained right through until the last third when it became a tad stronger and slightly more woody but very pleasantly so. I just did not want this cigar to finish, draw was excellent, nice burn time, I managed 1hour 15mins of pure heaven accompanied by a very nice shiraz....I love robusto size cigars and this will definitely feature highly on my purchase list when filling my humidor.....try it...you wont regret it.

Purchased on a recommendation from Evan at the Liverpool store.
Initial look and smell ok. Once lit the burn was very even and draw was good. However this was just not for me. I found it to be a very rough smoke. Not well balanced at all.
A little surprised this was recommended along with a Montecristo No5 as they are incomparable. In my opinion there are better Cubans out there for the same money.

I didnt think there was all that much pepper at all in this. The flavour was great though, very savoury, pairs well with bits of dark chocolate. The flavour actually reminded me of a sour cabbage stew and buttered toast, probably the sour and crispy toast notes.
The only reason this cigar gets a 4/5 is because of the uneven burn, with that said Ill probably have to try a few more as this really suited my palette.
