Cohiba Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by Shaun
As someone who is fairly new to the world of cigars, I recently had the opportunity to try a Cohiba Short, and it was an interesting experience overall. From the moment I opened the pack, I was impressed by the presentation. The cigar felt well made, with a rich aroma that hinted at quality tobacco. For a beginner like myself, that initial scent alone was enough to spark some excitement and curiosity.
Upon lighting, the draw was smooth and the smoke output was satisfying, especially for such a compact cigar. The flavor profile started off rich with earthy notes and a hint of spice that added some character. I could definitely appreciate the craftsmanship and why Cohiba has such a strong reputation among cigar enthusiasts.
That being said, I did find the harshness a bit stronger than I expected, especially toward the middle and final third. As someone who is still developing a palate for cigars, the intensity caught me slightly off guard. While it wasn’t overwhelming, it did remind me that the Cohiba Short is still a bold and flavorful smoke despite its small size.
Overall, I

This was my first time trying Camacho and I was very pleasantly surprised. Well made, it burned straight and clean all the way down until the final third where I had to relight it once. I spent an enjoyable hour with this cigar and will be adding it to my rotation. Highly recommended if you have not tried these.

I took a punt on the £10 mystery cigar and I wasn't disappointed. I left it in my humidor a week before lighting it up. It's not a vitola I would normally pick but it was a cracking smoke. Great construction and a really creamy taste on the retro-hale. Definitely worth a try. I paired it with an espresso.

C.Gars Ltd Dutch Blend Corona - 1 Single
by Joshua
A pleasant smooth and creamy smoke with a decent aroma.
Not complex flavour but consistent and enjoyable. Only really getting slightly bitter in the last 3rd. Very impressive for this price point. The perfect budget smoke.

Cohiba Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by Stuart
The Cohiba Shorts were alright, but I’ll be honest, I was expecting a bit more. Maybe it’s because I’d really enjoyed the Cohiba Minis and had high hopes for these, but they didn’t quite hit the same mark for me. The flavour was fine, just nothing that really stood out or made me want another straight away.
They’re not bad by any means, just a bit underwhelming considering the name on the box. I actually prefer the Minis by a long way, they’ve got that sweet, satisfying edge that these seem to lack. Still, worth trying once to see for yourself, but for me, the Minis remain the clear winner.

Good God I underestimated how strong this was going to be. I'm still a beginner but thought I'd built up at least a bit of tolerance to nicotine - boy was I mistaken. Got a very bad case of nicotine sickness shortly after finishing it and still feeling slightly unwell the next day.
That being said, the draw was perfect and the burn was very even with an ash that fell off consistently after about 3cm. Doesn't burn particularly hot but doesn't go out easily on its own either. Middle of the cigar became quite squishy halfway through.
Here's what it was like flavour-wise:
1st third
Quite mild which slowly turns into strong sweetness/sugariness
2nd third
Sugariness still dominates but overall flavour gets bolder and earthier with hints of strong coffee. Some spice here and there.
Final third
Sugariness continues but almost becomes a sort of sugary spice. Very bold. Finishes with strong mintiness right to the end.
Overall, for me, it wasn't as mind-blowing flavour-wise as is made out. It was certainly very nice and definitely had some complexity
