Right out the tin I got a quite pleasant aroma of liquorice. The flakes had the perfect moisture content to pack and smoke right away. The first bowl I had was very Virginia forward, sweetness that climbs up the side of the tongue and a mild grassiness typical of Virginias and much like Peterson Flake. As time went on though, I started tasting more Périque in there, it was similar to but milder than Elizabethan as it developed a somewhat bready and raisiny flavour. Will buy again.

possibly a waste of a Maduro wrapper, these are small gauge though it must be noted.

Got this from Hotel Du Vin and was an absolute delight to smoke.
Understandably very popular amongst cigar enthusiasts, and defo one for the humidor.

Blackbird Crow Gran Toro Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
Never heard of these before so took a punt on a sampler. Sparked this one up and initially the taste was awful. Perservered (at cigar prices now you have to!), and it smoothed out into a really solidly nice smoke. Consistent throughout without complexity or building of flavours - just good honest smooth tobacco flavour. Good/easy draw, lots of smoke, smoked to the nub.
As a fine cigar, probably not going to challenge the best of the cubans, but quality and profile of the smoke was consistent across all of them so when I want a 'smoke', rather than an exercise in taste testing, I'll order again.

Absolute treasure of a mini format cigar, I've been looking at different variations and these are a real find. Compact but lasting, spicy Maduro really comes through from the start. Heavier than I though but by no means strong, happy medium but lovely complex bundle. I'm stacking up in these short tasty devils!

First time with Drew Estate. Not an expert by any means but the burn was a little uneven. Good draw and strength. For the price was expecting a little more from this cigar.
