I am new to smoking, new to cigars and this is only the 4th smoke I've ever had! I am by no means a cigar expert (by far) but have been interested in trying something different in life and fascinated by this scene.
For me this cigar was very smooth and it was also the first cigar I was able to taste some flavours (probably down to experience). I was able to taste coffee, dark cocoa, leather and some spice. I was still able to taste it hours afterwards. Took me 2hrs 30mins to finish on a lovely summer evening :-)
It was nice to finish something like this with no head rush or sick feeling like some of the strong ones have given me. Full of flavour without the rush. Perfect for me.
I would recommend for beginners and I will be buying again 100%.. Can't wait to share the experience with some friends. Buy!

Very pleased with my first and reasonably priced humidor. Arrived within days of placing the order. Extremely well packaged. Good solid construction and beautiful finish ( I chose the cherry varnish version). Regarding the hygrometer, the calibration adjustment screw mechanism is rather flimsy. After some fiddling I did managed to set the device to the correct reading and it seems to provide a reasonably accurate reading of humidity levels. The set up instructions are clear and easy to follow. I seasoned the humidor for a few days before use (as advised by a previous reviewer). Received a bonus gift cigar ring-gauge chart which is quite handy. Staff emailed me after delivery to check all was well. All was well. Service cannot be faulted.

I'm somewhat inexperienced with Non-Cubans but recently tried an Arturo Fuente Don Carlos No. 3 and was amazed at its flavour. So reading up on Fuente I had to try the Opus X range seeing as it has such a great reputation.
Well, I know I should have left this for a year or more in my humidor but I also bought a couple of larger size Opus Xs so I thought I'd give it a go, young as it is.
Got to tell you I'm glad I did. This is one great cigar. Very rich honey & wood flavours. Quite sweet at times with a fair bit of strength. Draw was perfect but burn needed a little help at times. Probably not for beginners but it depends on how you like your cigar. I'm probably an intermediate level smoker and I'm quickly finding out that I like my cigars as I like my whisky. Richly sweet and flavoursome like a Laphroaig 18 yr old. I can only imagine what a bit of time would add to this cigar. Its already stunning.

I decided that I'd experiment with Non-Cubans for a change. Out of the four I chose this is easily the winner. Oily, sweet wrapper from cameroon mixed with up to 10 year old Dominican tobacco this one really pleased my palate. Sweet cocoa with a nutty and spicy edge. This is a flavour bomb!

Antonio Gimenez Panatela Cigar - 1 Single
by Christian
Holy damn the price of this cigar... it's a nice little panatela, don't get me wrong, but it's not worth the price. It feels more like a montecristo purito, which averages around £1.50ish. Even a guantanamera purito is a bit better.
The taste was "pretty good", nothing exceptional, nothing brilliant, but a pleasant 20 minute afternoon smoke. It's really not worth it. General quality seems pretty good.
