A nice medium strength cigar that starts off earthy with subtle hints of chocolate which stays that way until the final third. Towards the end I was picking up nutty flavours.
What let it down for me was an unequal burn which I struggled with throughout my 80 minute smoke session. The cigar was not tightly packed and it had a very loose draw.
I think another one or two are required for a definitive conclusion.

Camacho Corojo Machitos Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
It was... An experience... Not going to lie, I was not prepared for this! My first retro hale and I was pinching the bridge of my nose and wincing as though IÂ’d had a heavy hit of mustard with my roast beef. My eyes were watering and before I knew it, my nose was running faster than Usain Bolt. On the plus side, it does gradually get smoother. Would probably go best with a rum and a cold. Despite the pain, I would definitely buy again and enjoy with friends next time!

Been saving this. Took it to a wedding smoked something else. Took it to Amsterdam get away and didnt smoke it. Now I am smoking it and it was worth the wait, coffee, chocolate rich wood flavour and aroma. Build is good wrapper very dark and enticing. Pre light draw was wood and earth, cut perfect, burnt well went slightly sideways at a 3rd down but rectified easily. Band was cool but a bit homemade looking . Dark, deep and tasty. Wierd fuel taste on the draw when out but not in a bad way. Definitely check this one out for the price it was a very good stick.

Cohiba Siglo II Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
My first of the Cohiba range. Wasnt too impressed but wasnt a total let down either. Started off mild, smooth, creamy but also very sweet. A third of the way in, I could taste nuts and I was hit with a pepper bomb in my mouth which was almost unbearable but as quick as it happened, it was gone and soon mellowed out again. Either that or my taste buds died? At the end of it I was left with the taste of how the pages of an old library book smell... If youve ever wanted to eat that smell, this is the cigar for you! Not a bad cigar but not a great one either. I really dont think its worth the money. Youll definitely be paying more for the label than you will the cigar.

Cohiba Siglo II Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Tomasz
Bit of a newbie cigar smoker here. This was my first Cohiba cigar ever. I did not know what to expect. At first I was tiny bit disappointed with the lack of character, but having gone through the first inch, the flavours have really picked up. I, probably had it too hot to start with (even though I was taking my time). Once I slowed right down, chocolate flavour hit me. It was absolutely beautiful. Draw improved too. I think this cigar must be enjoyed slowly. Eventually, it took me approx. 1 hour 20minutes... which was 1:20 of sheer pleasure.

Enjoying this tasty little number right now, 50 mins in and only approaching the final 3rd! For the price this is an excellent smoke and the width makes it a real novelty. Sweet, earthy and floral notes with aftertastes of chocolate, nuts and citrus. I find Chinchalero hit and miss. The torpeditos are terrible, poor construction and undeveloped flavour, the corona cigar with 2 different wrappers, forget the name, is however very enjoyable. But this one is by far the best. Really pleasant Nicaraguan flavours with solid construction and even burn. You can’t go wrong with this one, handmade cigars in the fiver bracket are hard to come by. Pick one up today!
