Date Added: Wednesday 22 October, 2025
I recently enjoyed a Henri Wintermans Half Corona, and it really surprised me with how light and smooth it was. From the first puff, it had that easygoing draw that makes a cigar instantly relaxing. The burn was even all the way through, producing a soft smoke with a pleasant aroma — nothing harsh or overwhelming.
The flavor was mild, with gentle hints of wood and a touch of sweetness that lingered nicely on the palate. It’s definitely not a cigar that tries to impress with strength or complexity, but that’s exactly what makes it enjoyable. It’s the kind of stick you can light up any time of day without having to commit to a full, heavy smoke.
I’d say the Half Corona is perfect as an everyday cigar — something to enjoy with a coffee in the morning or after a long day when you just want to unwind. It’s consistent, affordable, and always delivers a smooth, relaxing experience.
Overall, the Henri Wintermans Half Corona is a simple pleasure — mild, well-made, and easy to appreciate. If you’re after a cigar that doesn’t demand attention but always satisfies, this one fits the bil

I smoked this at a wedding and it was delicious definitely would recommend buying it. It comes in this nice glass case and presented very well. It burned nicely and there was no damage or problems with the tobacco leaf

Not a bad cigar but the flavour profile is its biggest letdown. The construction was very good, smooth draw, nice amount of smoke, not touchups needed. Despite being a short cigar it is quite densely packed, however as mentioned earlier it does not impact the draw. In terms of tasting notes it was all pepper and spice throughout, some ever so slight notes of leather, which made it quite monotonous.

Backwoods Caribe Cigars - Pack of 5
by Stuart
The Backwoods Caribe Cigars are quickly becoming a little favourite of mine. They’re easy to store, no humidor needed, and have that classic rustic Backwoods look and feel. The flavour’s tropical and sweet, with hints of rum and fruit that make them stand out from the rest of the range.
They give off a lovely, pleasant aroma while smoking, the kind that makes everyone nearby comment on how good it smells. Smooth, easy going, and perfect for when you just want to unwind without any fuss. A great, affordable cigar that’s full of character, I’ll definitely keep these in my regular rotation.

Bigger is not always better.
The craftsmanship is impressive and it smoked fairly well, needing a couple touchups on one side. It was a smooth smoke throughout, starting with a very feint dark chocolate, quickly subsiding to a mild nuttyness. Towards the end there was some spice and pepper but overall I found the flavour uninspired and a little boring. Unfortunately underwhelming for this price point.

The Backwoods Silver Cigars are absolutely spot on, incredibly nice with a smooth, creamy flavour that makes them stand out straight away. They give off a lovely taste and aroma that lingers nicely without being too strong. Definitely one I’ll always keep stocked up in my stash.
They’re easy to store, no humidor needed, and make the perfect cigar for a relaxed lads night, a few whiskies, a game of poker, and one of these on the go. Simple, tasty, and just good fun to smoke. A real winner in the Backwoods range.
