Wasnt sure what to expect from this cigar. Ive had two now and both times they can be described as peppery and spicy. Ive seen other reviews that have mentioned them as being slightly sweet. I didnt notice any sweet notes like the original black market.
Construction wise like all Alec Bradley cigars was perfect.
If this had a different name Id probably like it more. But as its called black market its natural to compare it to the original of which I prefer over this.

I have delayed trying one of these due the reports of a very tight draw, but finding myself in the London store with a lovely expert offering to personally choose one to my requirements how could I possibly say no?
I am very glad that I finally decided to try one. The creamy inhale with undertones of spice and slight pepper on the lips by the second third was delightful (I found the first third a little mild and one dimensional, but extremely smooth nonetheless). The strength and flavour definitely took time to arrive, but once there was very balanced , wonderfully smooth and extremely enjoyable. The draw wasn’t an issue. The construction was exemplary, as was the condition. Paired with a light spiced rum this was a real treat. My thanks for the exceptional customer service.

I tried this years ago when I was looking for a good Latakia blend but thought at the time it was a bit deficient in that department But I included a tin in this month's order and I am glad I did. This is a truly delicious tobacco - you could almost say it is a tobacco-y tobacco in the sense that if there is a topping it is probably tobacco juice... although the added richness is likely due to a toasting process.
It is a broken flake so a little moist - no bad thing because it takes the light easily and smokes sweet and cool straight from the tin. The flavours are intriguing... nutty, earthy with hay and a hint of liquorice in the background. It is one of those delightful tobaccos you hope will never end so you sip it gently to make it last longer. Towards the bottom of the bowl there is even a hint of pine... remarkable.

I normally smoke cubans but decided to try this, it was a truly magnificent smoke, it feels very powerful and strong between your fingers and burns evenly throughout.
This cigar is a good length and has a very dark and mysterious look to it , the draw was even and delightful and surround by the wonderful wrappers.
It lasted a whole thirty overs while my son was playing cricket...I wished he did !!
I would definitely recommend this cigar as an alternative if there is one to an expensive cuban.
I hope the above does not make Mitchell increase the price...Great Cigar.

In the past Ive had some great MC4s. The past few Ive bought from this site have had a very tight draw. If youre reading this in a few months ignore me but I think the batch currently on sale isnt right.

Easy light, even burn and nice draw.
Thats it.
Cheap looking nasty wrapper with tonnes of veins and knots in it. Its a cheap smoke for a reason.
After one third it tasted like a damp ashtray. Full of tarry flavours and absolutely zero subtlety. I didnt get much further down it because simply put it was horrible. After I put it out I opened it up out of curiosity and I wasnt shocked. Yes its short fill tobacco but thats no excuse for it to look like left over leaves after an autumn sweep up. Considering the other smokes available for a few quid more there really isnt any other reason to buy this other than you cant get to a decent tobacconist or wait on delivery. Save your money ladies and gents as youd be better off wrapping guinea pig bedding in your fiver and smoking that than buying this monstrosity!
