BLACK FRIDAY - Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single by Connor

First time smoking any Montecristo and I have to say it's a great tasting cigar. Burns even, smells great but the draw was sooo tight. I couldn't really fix that. I used a guillotine cutter and even cut a small bit more off part way through smoking and out of pure desperation tried to use a punch where I had already cut. Such a shame really coz the flavours were fantastic. Actually got light-headed from sucking so hard If the draw was a little easier this would be for me and easy 4.5 - 5 star.

Blackbird Crow Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Connor

Got one of these in a sampler and I'm a fan. Plenty of smoke and flavour. Lots of wood with hints of spice and chocolate. Will be one I add to my basket in the future and also interested in trying the other cigars from the blackbird cigars line. Slightly uneven burn but could just be my own fault. 4/5 from me

BLACK FRIDAY - Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single by Stephen

I haven't been smoking cigars long, and this is only my second Montecristo (the other being an Open J, which I really enjoyed), however I had to abandon all hopes as it was almost completely unsmokeable. I was expecting good things, however it seemed so tight that I was unable to get any sort of useful draw from it. From other reviews I'm guessing this is more of a consistency issue than anything. Bit at the price point I've had better luck (or at least not as bad luck?) with other cigars. Quite disappointed

BLACK FRIDAY - Henri Wintermans Panatella (Slims) - 5 packs of 5 (25) Bundle Deal by David

Very mild. Little discernable flavour. Uneven draw. Not much to recommend to be honest.

BLACK FRIDAY - Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single by Morgan

The perfect introduction to Cuban Cigars The Montecristo No.4 is one of the best selling cigars in the world, and for good reason. The catalyst for beginning a lifetime obsession with cigars for many, at the price point (currently around £20), you’d be hard pressed to find a better value Cuban in this vitola. If anyone looking to try cigars for the first time comes to me asking for a recommendation, this will always be my first choice for them, almost always well constructed, with an impressively wide ranging flavour throughout the burn, without being full bodied. For me, Montecristo are the jewel in the crown of Cuban cigars, and the No.4 is the standard that all others should measure themselves against

BLACK FRIDAY - Joya de Nicaragua Cinco De Cinco Toro Cigar - 1 Single by RICHARD

I love cigars with a Mexican San Andres wrapper, especially combined with Nicaraguan binder and fillers. This cigar had a good taste from light up and I enjoyed the typical flavour notes you would expect from this blend of tobaccos. Unfortunately the construction let this cigar massively. I'm not sure if this is typical of this brand or if I was unlucky. The draw was slightly tight and the burn line was terrible. I had to correct the burn after every few draws. It was also trying to go out if I didn't smoke on it every 15 - 20 secs. I had to relight it fully again at one point. It is a pitty because it definitely had nice flavours but I give up before I reached the band. I will stick to the EP CARILLO La Historia from now on, it has the same tobacco combinations but slightly more prominent flavours and a perfect construction.
