Recieved this as my first "mystery cigar" quite a coincidence as I have enjoyed the Conviction Robusto in the past. So this is simply a smaller version. Was a nice 30ish minute smoke. Flavourful and easy to puff on. Perfect if you're enjoying a quiet drink somewhere or for a "pit stop" smoke to pass the time. Burned nice and evenly throughout, highly recommend if you haven't tried a Chateau before, it's a great litmus test.

The main and only tasting note for me was a bitter chilli spice. I didn't notice any of the sweetness described in the tasting notes, but I paired it with a medium bodied red wine which may have masked it. I found this cigar to be light in strength and lacking in complexity. Not a bad smoke but not a particularly good one either.

A well constructed cigar which burned without any touch ups. For me it was a creamy flavour turning a bit spicy on the retro hale half way through. The draw was just right for me. A good all round cigar in my humble opinion. Definitely worth a try.

Cohiba Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by Edward
It's like smoking a log. Very ashy, bonfirey. Tastes like a dodgy cigarette. No real development of flavour.
The construction was good - very dense, with an even burn and tight draw.
Overall, quite poor and I won't be buying this again. You might like it if you prefer cigarette flavours. IMO, the Trinidad and Davidoff shorts are much better for the same price.

This lighter is well-made and works flawlessly. The plastic material used feels pleasant to the touch and is visually appealing. The jet is strong and clean, and this lighter represents excellent value for money when compared to others in a similar price bracket.

The Mystery Cigar
What a great surprise! When I saw the option to add a Mystery Cigar to my order for £10, I couldn’t resist pressing “Enter.”
When the package arrived, I was buzzing with excitement to unpack it. The cigar was packed separately, and even though I was tired from the week, I decided to spend the early evening enjoying it with my favourite Boulevardier cocktail. I had kept it outside my humidor since receiving it—I've found that letting cigars rest at room temperature for 24–36 hours often brings out a better flavour than smoking them straight from the humidor.
Every time I held it, I wondered where it was made. The vitola was just the style I prefer: long and not too thick, around a corona gorda size. I measured it at 6¾ inches by 46 ring gauge and 14.9g in weight. The construction was impressive—firm, smooth, and wrapped in a beautiful colorado claro leaf with a double cap and a classy look.
The cold draw didn’t reveal much beyond a dry, grassy character typical of Cuban or Dominican blends. The first third offered a mild mix of grassy and mineral notes with a
