Room 101 Farce was definitely one of the more unique smokes I’ve had as a beginner. It’s marketed as a complex, medium-to-full-bodied blend, and that complexity really came through. On the first few puffs, I got this interesting mix of earth, pepper, and a subtle sweetness, almost like dried fruit. The flavors shifted quite a bit as it went along, which kept me on my toes. At times, there was cocoa and espresso; other times, more wood and spice. The construction was solid, though I did need one touch-up on the burn. The draw was easy, and the smoke output was thick and satisfying. I can see why people say this cigar has layers—it felt like it kept evolving, which was exciting but also a little challenging for someone new like me. It’s definitely not a one-note cigar, and I think that makes it worth trying if you want to push your palate. The strength built toward the end, with more pepper and richness, but it never got overwhelming. Overall, I enjoyed it, though I’d say it’s better suited for when you’re in the mood to pay attention.

I love all the Curivari New World cigars they are absolutely fabulous including the Robusto size Picadores 5x50 but sat outside The Turks Head pub, St. Agnes, Isles of Scilly this September 2025 i tried the Picadore Corona 5x42 for the first time and was not at all impressed proving the point that the Robusto size and above are best for flavour and smoking experience, Curivari use Cuban seed tobacco and are exceptional quality and value from the Mini short Robusto 31/2x50 to the Toro 6x60 highly recommended, the nearest experience to smoking a Cuban cigar

The Hamlet Miniatures are exactly what you’d expect, a quick, no fuss smoke that lasts about 4 minutes. They’re nice enough for their size and offer reasonable value for money. Personally, I prefer the Signature Yellows as I think they’ve got a nicer flavour, but these are still a solid little option when you just want something quick. Handy to keep around, and I’d definitely buy them again for those short smoke breaks.

Bolivar Tubos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
The Bolívar No.2 Tubos was a cigar I approached with a mix of excitement and caution, since the brand has a reputation for being fuller-bodied and more intense than some of the Cubans I’ve tried so far. Opening the tubo, I was greeted with that distinct Cuban aroma—earthy, woody, and a little sweet. The construction was excellent, with a solid feel and no soft spots. On the cold draw, I picked up subtle notes of hay and cedar, with just a hint of spice.
Once lit, the cigar wasted no time in showing character. The first third delivered rich, earthy flavors, backed by a peppery spice that tingled on the tongue. It wasn’t overpowering, but it definitely had more bite than, say, a Romeo y Julieta No.2. The smoke was thick and aromatic, with hints of leather and roasted coffee coming through as it developed. The draw was smooth, and the burn stayed mostly even throughout, needing only a small correction near the middle.
By the halfway point, the cigar settled into a satisfying balance of wood, cocoa, and spice, with a touch of sweetness keeping things interesting. Toward the final t
