Mild. I like mild when enough flavour comes through, but the flavour with this one was 70% muted until the last third, when much more came through and it was maybe 40% muted. Well made, burns steadily and never hot - in fact you can still smoke it until its just above your fingernails. Fair amount of smoke. Not harsh at all, but too much of a nothing cigar. Wont buy again. Id say 2.5 stars, but have to give it 3 stars on the points system below.

Love these cigars, and they are cheaper than Sainsburys!

Cohiba Robustos Cigar - 1 Single

A little underwhelming actually. A present. Not a brilliant draw and very insipid, virtually no discernible taste or flavour and halfway through. Maybe this is not a good one, though for £27... I have been smoking Regius though, so maybe these are meant to be light??

Im quite pleasantly surprised by this cigar. I dont want the extra points for saying this but Im glad I got a subscription box and have forced myself to try new things. It lights easy, has an even burn and fairly light draw but produces lots of smoke. Theres not much change in the flavour profile of the cigar , where it was quite woody and sweet, other than in the final third where the taste of pepper and leather with nuts come into play and quite full in terms of flavour, although the subtle sweetness remains the same. I will be putting this on my future to buy list.

My first mystery cigar from my monthly subscription box. My parcel arrived today (2/5/19) and naturally I was intrigued to try this stick first. I must say, I was suitably impressed. Good even burn, perfect draw and altogether a very well presented cigar. I would definitely Re-visit this brand again in the future, even though I like to try as many different cigars as possible and dont often go back to the same ones. Personally I enjoyed it with a glass of French red wine and I found they matched really well. Maybe next time Ill go with a single malt. Try it guys its delicious!

Im no expert but here is my take...
This is acceptable for the price. You get a heffer of a cigar. Prior to smoking this i kept it in a humidor (out of the tube) for over 2 months at 72%RH.
It burned quite slowly but smoke was mediocre and the draw was a little tight. The flavour was neither too bland or too over powering. I felt like I was smoking a £12 cigar.
I normally never do this but I took the ciagr band off (this weakens the wrapper if taken off to early) it started to unravel and burn very unevenly after a third of the way through. I tried to re cut it to give it a second chance but this did nothing.
I looks nice, tastes okay, burns slow and has a tight draw. And its also pretty. But please for the love of all things cigars dont maky my mistake. Only take the band off when the burn line is about a half inch away from the band.
