An easy smoke with a flavour profile that progresses and intensifies throughout, makes this cigar a great addition to any humidor and a price point that makes this a clear choice for a bundle buy. Starts off creamy and oaky accompanied by earthy and peppery undertones that slowly over take any other flavours. The construction, burn and smooth draw is consistent throughout.

Not a very pleasant experience! It felt very spicy from beginning to end, constantly had bits of leaf in my mouth and occasionally it was very bitter. On the other hand, it did not go out despite it being very windy outside and it had a good draw, the smoke time was longer than the advertised 9 minutes.

Looks closer to a rolling baccy, it's mild in flavour but fairly strong
Great burner on a windy day, does burn a bit hot if you're an aggressive smoker -- not the worst after taste
I'm only posting this because I've just been out in the wind without a single re-light
Not an everyday for me, but worth having around

Just a quick follow-up on the lighter. I have been using it for the past few days, predominantly outdoors, and it has been brilliant. Even at a low flame, it does an amazing job, the flame is strong and it has repeatedly lit my cigar without any effort on my side to conceal the flame. Also, despite repeadely lighting my cirgars I have not had to refilll it yet.

I had such hopes for this cigar, they did not materialise. Neither did the flavours. The first third had notes of Park Drive, with the benefit of dirty cardboard. The second third had a hint of hay that had been scraped from a chicken coop floor some ten years after the fowls had perished. Surprisingly, in the worst possible way, the final third was like a three day old hamlet dog end that had been left on a sodden urinal floor, dried out and then reignited. The overall flavour left on my palette was of a Rotherham working men’s club ashtray. Measured against the delightful Macanudo Inspirado White experience of several days previous, this Karen the Sharon effort was nearly enough to turn me to vaping…. Genuinely, not a good purchase.

Just got mine today! Speedy delivery and well packaged.
The lighter is absolutely amazing! I wanted a lighter that works well in windy conditions but does not take up space. The quality is superb - it combines a luxurious look with a simplistic construction. The black and gold looks very elegant but sadly it is also a fingerprint magnet.
Over the coming days I shall be testing it out to see how it performs.
