The regular Hamlet is a straightforward smoke that lasts around 6-7 minutes, which makes it handy when you don’t want to commit to something long. The flavour is pleasant enough, not too heavy, and I’ve got a real soft spot for them as they remind me of my grandad, he always had one on the go, and the smell instantly takes me back. Each one comes in its own cellophane, theres no need for a humidor, and they’re perfect to keep in a pocket or take fishing. Not fancy, but that’s the charm. It’s the kind of cigar that feels tied to simpler times, and I always enjoy that about them.

The J Cortes Orange Tubed Corona was a proper sit-down smoke for me, lasting around an hour, maybe a touch more. I liked the flavour, smooth but with enough depth to keep it interesting. It comes ready-punched, which makes life easier, and the nicotine kick is strong, so it’s not something I’d hand to a beginner. For the price though, it’s excellent value, and the fact it comes tubed means you don’t really need a humidor if you plan to smoke it within a year or so. I enjoyed mine out in the garden with a vodka and some coconut water ice cubes, a surprisingly good match for me personally. Overall, a solid cigar when you’ve got the time to relax.

I got this in my monthly mixed selection box, this cigar was so tightly rolled it was unable to smoke properly, used my perfect draw tool and still terrible.

This sample collection is a 10/10 - Many different flavours to experiment with. They all seem to have a signature scent and flavour that overreaches into every blend, while maintaining a distinct flavour for each tobacco. I have tried all so far apart from the commonwealth mixture and I have to say these are very high quality and sophisticated blends. My favourite has got to be the Skiff Mixture as it is fast burning, has a nice smooth flavour and works well with corn cob and briar pipes alike. That being said I think that all of these blends are very pleasurable to smoke and are absolutely great value for money considering the high quality. A definite recommendation.

Had this sat in my humidor for quite sometime, and eventually got around to smoking it with high expectations as my last Rocky Patel the edge was wonderful, but sadly this cigar was very tight, could not get a good draw, tried to loosen it up but the the outer wrapper just cracked away. Cannot recommended.

Smooth earthy and a little peppery but fairly 1 dimensional. The flavours never really developed and I smoked it all the way down.
I received this as part of my monthly subscription and only had it in the humidor for 2-3 weeks, maybe it needed longer.
Not a bad smoke and an affordable cigar of this size but I'm unlikely to return to it.
