For the only, you cannot go wrong with this smoke. Bought a box for my stag do and there was a mix of cigar smokers and non, all really enjoyed. Perfect mix of flavour and smoothness! Will be reordering.

Picked one of these up in the St James store today. A really nice smoke for a fantastic price. Lots of black pepper and coffee, always a favourite flavour profile for me. Notes of cinnamon, orange and toffee keeps the interest going over the roughly 40 minutes smoking time. I paired it with a dark Christmas ale which suited it well. I usually go for a bigger ring gage but would really recommend this.

A lovely cigar with the “Twisty” shape.
Another great collaboration with Alec Bradley.
Give them a try you won’t be disappointed.

This is simply a great cigar for the beginner/novice to begin to appreciate a darker wrapper and the complexity of a longer smoke...
I don't pretend to know anything more than a beginner/novice as I've only been at it for a couple of years but this is one of - if not - the best cigars - at this price point your money can buy... thoroughly satisfying and pleasantly different to the rest of the pack...

Great Cigar. Straight medium flavours of cream,spice(pepper) with a fair bit of Citrus(Apricot) some wood notes. I bet some reading this just laughed but there was a distinct apricot flavour coming through which was confirmed by a good m8 who was also smoking the same cigar. But be warned, even though alot of reviews have this as a medium strength smoke, which for the first two thirds it was. But on hitting the last third the strength really increased. This cigar demands you smoke after a good full meal or at least have a good sweet/sugar based drink to counter the nicotine. Smoke time was around the one and half hours to two hour mark. For the price you cannot complain about this cigar and well worth at least trying one stick.

Ardbeg 17 Year Old Vintage - 70cl 40%
by Leanne
This release in not unknown to true Ardbeg fans as it was around for 8 years, before being discontinued. Once you gently approach this dram, you will notice it doesn’t contain the big, bold classic Ardbeg smokiness. I can say the age mellowed down its character, not making it less complex though. Silky and oily mouthfeel, sweet peat, tar, cream soda notes and lots of vanilla on the palate. Unbelievably well balanced and gentle.
