Casa Turrent 1942 Robusto Cigar - 1 Single (End of Line) by David

Personally I am not generally inclined to either the taste or strength of Mexican cigars, but this one was most certainly an exception. It was not one that I was pleased to find out as being the mystery cigar in the December subscription box, although it turned out to be a pleasant surprise in the end. Spicy with a hint of sweetness, smooth and creamy with no hint of bitterness, fairly strong yet not overly so, lots of aromatic smoke, a consistently even burn and an absolute joy from initial light to stub. Bravo to the person deciding to add it to the subscription box and helping to change my mind a little about Mexican cigars as a result.

Caldwell Eastern Standard Corretto Cigar - 1 Single by lucinda

Not a bad smoke at all.....Got better as it burned down and more flavor came through. The draw was good and all in all it was an enjoyable smoke.

Chevron Short Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Michael

Poorly constructed. Nearly burst a lung trying to get a draw out of it. Didnt taste awful but I might have been high huffing butane through it trying to keep it lit. Got it as part of a quick smoke sampler, youd need to smoke it quick because it goes out more or less the second you stop smoking it.

Cohiba Siglo II Cigar - 1 Single by Nathaniel

Ordered two of these in 2018 with the intention of ageing them in the humidor for a few years to mellow out the flavours, on Christmas Day after such a challenging year for everyone it felt like an appropriate time to pull these out and enjoy them after a nice meal with my partner in our new home. Lasted her about 40 minutes and me about an hour as I like to take my time and tend to smoke mine a little further down. During that time we discovered that a Sherry Sour cocktail is the perfect pairing, but Havanna Club 7yr works well too, as does a nice red (Bordeaux in this case). We each encountered slightly uneven burn but overall a great smoke. At first a creamy flavour with coffee notes and then slightly spicier towards the end. Cedar throughout, slightly saline. If you have a humidor I strongly recommend ageing a few of your go-to cigars, the difference even just a year or two makes is incredible (a little longer if you have the patience).

Cohiba Robustos Cigar - 1 Single by James

After reading the previous reviews I thought I would add to other comments that Cohiba cigars have been extremely inconsistent this year. I seem to have been fortunate and had a good robusto back in june. Mild, sweet creamy smoke, good draw and no relight needed. Contrast that with the siglo 3 and 5 which i smoked around the same time they were flavourless, constant relighting and very disappointed. I have had a few other cohibas this year which were equally bland and inconsisant in quality. I have had fewer good cohibas than bad and so I have stopped buying them altogether, instead sticking to whatever is rated in top 25 for the year.
