Cuaba Tradicionales Cigar - 1 Single
by David
Probably the worst (Cuban) cigar IÂ’ve ever smoked. Uneven burn, plugged and the draw was so tight I almost hyperventilated. This was after a v-cut then a cross v-cut and eventually a straight cut. The cigar was unevenly rolled with a hollow section in the second third and a practically solid head. The wrapper started unravelling from the moment I lit up. I have read that figurados are rolled by the best rollers. Heaven knows what the cigars are like when rolled by a lesser experienced torcedor. However, I had one draw that was slightly creamy during the final third. Small consolation in my opinion. Overall, a disappointing waste of thirty minutes of my life.

Personally, being fairly new to the pipe, but not to smoking, Ive never had the pleasure of trying Dunhill, for which apparently this is a substitute.
However I find this a mild flavoursome product, which I could easily smoke all day, and not just for the early first bowl. For which it was designed for. I really love it.
But as I say, Im new to the pipe, so what do I know ;)

Got a box of these last year and have smoked two and gifted two to friends, these are a large Robusto size 60 minutes plus smoke. Very well made medium to full bodied, spicy and sweet, I also picked up a slight tangy fruity acidic flavour not unpleasant but a little tartness lemon and lime that cut through the sweetness very well. With a coca and cedar finish.

It is a very mild cigar. 45-60 min smoke that burnt even throughout. I did find at times to be a little bitter to the taste. For its price I do feel there are better cigars around. I’m glad I have got to try it but I doubt I’ll buy again.

Cohiba Shorts Cigar - 1 Single

Not an unpleasant smoke, good draw and even. A bit harsh to start with but it did mellow. Lasted 20mins but I was just left with the feeling I would rather smoke something else. There was nothing particularly noteworthy about it.

CLE Asylum 13 Goliath Cigar - 1 Single
by Gillian
This is the biggest cigar I (or most people) have ever smoked. My husband got it for me, probably as a joke because he knows that I like wide ring gauge and dark wrappers, but this was a bit beyond. We needed to buy a cutter that could handle 80 gauge sizes before I could even start. It also took a long time to light, as you can imagine. But after that? Well, it’s just a cigar. Fairly full bodied, a nice flavour - leather, earth, a bit of coffee. Well constructed, but a slightly tight draw, surprisingly, and the burn needed correcting from time to time. On the whole, quite enjoyable and nothing to be scared of.
To be honest, it wasn’t the size so much as the time involved that’d be an issue in future. It defeated me eventually so, as my husband bought it, I made him finish it.
