Bolivar Tubos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single by Daniel

This was my first Bolivar experience, and was a great introduction to the brand. Lasting around 40 minutes, this made a nice evening smoke. Peppery, especially in the last third. Not too harsh at any point. Buy one, you wont regret it.

Backwoods Authentic (Light Brown) Cigars - Pack of 5 by Joss

A very pleasant smoke indeed, the aroma reminded me of my grandfathers pipe smoke- sweet and aromatic. The smoke is light and smooth with a sweet mouth feel. The construction is rustic and can leave shreds on the lip but this is to be expected with such a traditional cigar. Looks and feels like a cigar from an old western movie! Very pleasant- cant wait for another one so a good job that they're sold in packs of 5! A good short smoke.

Brick House Corona Larga Cigar - 1 Single by David

Only smoked one of these so maybe I should wait until I've had a couple to judge. However, very nice looking cigar, and extremely reasonably priced for this size and quality. For that reason I was looking forward to adding it to my list of favourites. Lights well, easy draw and lots of effortless smoke. Taste wise I would have liked a bit more. seemed, not bland, but just not very distinctive. Maybe it was too subtle for me. I'll certainly try another because of the virtues set out above which make it an excellent mild smoke.

Bolivar Petit Coronas Cigar - 1 Single by Alistair

Bolivars are delightful. That's a fact. I don't think I've ever had one that I didn't like however they are notorious for their strength (to the extent that on a tour of the Partagas factory in Havana we were directly warned). Whilst these aren't as good as the Belicosos, which are perhaps my favourite of the range, they are certainly a decent analog, and being smaller I don't feel dizzy and nauseated afterward. These babies are medium/full flavour - earthy, dark choc and spice - complemented perfectly by a glass of Islay whisky. I'm not completely sure why but generally I prefer to smoke these in the winter.

Bells Three Nuns Pipe Tobacco (Formerly Honey & Tart) 40g Pouch by Staff

An enjoyable curly cut blend of dark Kentucky and sun cured tobacco based from the tinned version. This pipe tobacco (pouch version) has a distinctive woody flavour with a smooth smoking sensation with hints of cocoa and subtle tones of malt whisky and florals. Great value for money, if you haven't tried before, it's worth trying! Michael - C.Gars Ltd

Borkum Riff Ruby (Formerly Cherry Cavendish) Pipe Tobacco 50g Pouch by Staff

An aromatic mixture of dark Kentucky and Burly Tobacco with flavours of Cherry and a hint of vanilla. The aroma is welcoming with a powerful scent but delicate and sweet, pleasant to smoke with plenty of enjoyment. Medium bodied in taste and flavouring. Ideal for those that seek a sweet aromatic tobacco. Michael - C.Gars Ltd
