Having smoked and enjoyed one or two of this brands Robusto, I bought a bundle of twenty five. A goodly number of them, more than ten were, so badly constructed as to be totally impossible to smoke. They were packed with stalks and something odd that looked like a pale, squashed snake. I told C.Gars about them, realising it was not their fault but asking if they would pass my complaint to the manufacturer. That must have fallen down a deep well because I heard nothing about these cigars. If these are going to be as badly made in the future, I would never, ever buy any again.

Great taste. I had issues with uneven burning throughout and the experience was lessened a bit having to constantly maintain it. Other than that a great value cigar and Ill definitely be ordering again.

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.

On bowl 3 of this, supposedly a replacement for Dunhill Dark Flake. Its not. The tin note is fruity, the Dark Flake is rawer, more tobacco. The flakes are similar in appearance, cut, thickness, length. Taste is also different, certainly a good quality but not as good as the Dunhill original. The start of the bowl hits you with a definite fruit flavour, not unpleasantly just assuredly. Halfway down the bowl the flavour fades somewhat reverting to a purer tobacco taste. The final shock to the palate is a subtle hint of vanilla just before the last few breaths. An enjoyable tobacco I found but certainly NOT Dunhill Dark.

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.
