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!

A very sweet blend with beautiful rich aromatic tones of coffee smokes much nicer in the morning and evening air its certainly a good dog walking smoke only thing is its a little difficult to light it burns nicely once it gets going though and it mixes well with other blends
