Cohiba Siglo I Cigar - 1 Single by Alistair

I've had a couple of these in the past and was a bit disappointed by the experience as I do enjoy the flavours of a good Cohiba, however last night I found one hiding in the humidor and thought I'd give it another go. In the short time it has spent in there it already displayed a marked improvement over others I've had (bearing in mind the others we smoked more or less straight from a walk in humidor). The wrapper was nice and oily and once lit it gave off the typical Cohiba aroma (albeit slightly less spicy). The draw was smooth and provided plenty of velvety, rich smoke, and the burn was consistent throughout. In terms of flavour the main characteristics were a savoury woodiness and mild sweet spice, accompanied by a note of cocoa. Overall I found this a delightful smoke and I'm planning to get a few more, but I'll be sure to let them sit in the humidor for a while before I start on them.

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single by Benedetto

Surprisingly good for the price. Nice, simple light, smooth flavours and a pleasurable experience. I stood in a Baltic breeze coming in off the River Clyde and the ash held for half of the cigar, and the burn was very even. Will definitely buy again.

Cohiba Behike BHK 52 Cigar - 1 Single by calum

a very nice cigar indeed, even though this was my first behike, i enjoyed it very much. i accompanied it with a glass of port and it seemed to match it perfectly. the only downfall for me is, it was too short and i couldnt enjoy the full flavours for long enough as the cigar started to turn bitter and very hot towards the last 3rd loosing sum flavour and replacing it with a harsh smoky taste. i may have smoked it too quickly as i was very excited to try it.but all in all a very very enjoyable smoke for the first 2/3. i shall defiantley buy another and and make it last longer and cant wait to see what the 54 and 56 have to offer. my advice is as it is a small cigar please take your time too fully enjoy the earthy, leathery/ spice flavours this cigar has to offer. dont jump in like i did and smoke fast because flavour and smoothness becomes harsh. 8/10 for me but thats because i didnt take my time. c.gars ltd did a great job in supplying me with this product very quickly and hassle free and even threw in a box of matches and a mint. very pleased and will be coming back 100%. tha

Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single by Stuart

i found these cigars to be a pleasant 20 minute smoke , cant expect alot for the price but for the price of these i would recomend , there ideal to enjoy when there isnt enough time to enjoy a larger cigar , for when cigars are not welcome these are perfect and they dont leave a strong after smell either i would recomend them to the beginner and the experienced.

Cohiba Maduro 5 Secretos Cigar - 1 Single by Benedetto

My first Maduro, and it won't be my last! Did everything you would expect from a Cohiba. Nice even burn, held the ash well and tasted marvellous. I'm no expert when it comes to detecting chocolate hints, etc., what I will say is this cigar is well rounded, fully flavoured with lots of spiciness throughout. I smoked it to the last inch and there was no hint of it burning too hot. This cigar was so good yesterday, I'm heading into Robert Graham's in Glasgow today to buy more.

Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single by Nicholas

I bought a couple of these based on the reviews. I wanted a slim, quick cigars for when cigars are not welcome and one has to speed one in. I was hoping to find an alternative to the Arturo Fuente Exquisito I bought in the states, but can't find here. Have to say that you get what you pay for. I found this cigar very second rate. No depth, maturity or complexity. i.e. no fun. Very disappointing in my books. My opinion only.
