Cuban Short Pleasures Sampler - 4 Cigars
by Daniel
I have recently smoked the last of the sticks from this sampler. I found that the small club Corona and the divinos were both outstanding smokes that I enjoyed every second of. The no 5 and the siglo1, however, I found rather disappointing.
Both had a very tight draw and the effort needed to smoke them is my lasting memory of them. The Cuaba was the pick of the bunch for me.

Its taken a while for these to grow on me because at first I was not all that impressed; too mild, lacked character but theyve grown on me. The flavours are subtle and took a little time to develop on my palate. As, you continue to smoke the flavours build with creamy leathery notes, building so mild coffee an a hint of Cuba in there I swear, that slightly saline taste in the mouth toward the final third. All in all theyre good, not great, but value for money.

Right, now this little chap just looks seyx doesnt it, and the way it smokes isnt half bad either. Remember when buying this is a Petit Corona, ie. short of length, but big in personality. I smoked the first on in just over 20m, but thats just me, out walking with the dogs in a brisk English winter morning on the east coast. So the wind may have contributed negatively of my time spent enjoying this lil fella. I found the flavour to me mid to mild, starting smooth and ramping up the warm woody flavours mid-way in. I finished without feeling any scorch to the back of the throat or bitterness which was a nice touch. Would I buy again? Yes I think I would. I purchased this one in a selection of cheap cigars, but it doesnt give a cheap experience. Recommended and a new favourite.

Cohiba Siglo III Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
Just smoking one now. First impressions are that it looks good, feels great in hand. Even burn with a mild flavour. The draw, however, is terrible. Straight cut and now even prodded through to help. I held off Cohiba, due to it being a major brand, sometimes these run off established reputation. I am majorly disappointed and think this will be my last for a while. I duly hope that this is a bad roll but compared to lesser brands, this is no way a quality cigar that I expected. I understand this is probably a mid low end of their range but, for the money, is no excuse for such a prestigious name.

Good looking little cigars. Good for a quick smoke but I found that the flavours weren’t the best for me. So that’s why I am only giving 3 stars.
