I had an entire cab of 25 a few years back and the best use I could find for it was to use the empty box to put my sewing kit in. Very acidic and tarry flavour and not much else. Little bit of leather tried to sneak out now and then, but it was overpowered by the searing acidic flavours at work.
It took me the best part of 3 years to get through all 25, I kept telling myself that theyd get better with age. They didnt. I hung on to the bitter end (bitter being a very appropriate word) and smoked every last one of them and they were all dreadful.
I dont buy into the philosophy that you have to spend a fortune to get a decent box of sticks, but in this case you really do get what you pay less for. Box looks nice though. Two stars because as unpleasant as they were they were at least smokable.

Flavour of this baby is MINT & LITTLE SPICY TINGLE (taste kicks in at the end of each pull). Time Lasting: 20 - 30 minutes. Strength: light & Medium -/-/- This baby is designed to blow your socks off. I’m new to the cigar world, it was my first kiss but let me tell you, that the flavour comes when you smoke slow (1 puff every 30 seconds) & hold it in your mouth for 7 to 10 seconds. It sits on your pallet, and, that scorpion on the sticker is a real stinger ‘cus the flavours will send you flying!

Cohiba Siglo I Cigar - 1 Single
by Abdul
Relatively new to the cigar world, wanted to smoke a few Cubans and New worlds before trying a Cohiba. To my surprise and joy my wife gifted me one along with a Partagas Lusitanias. What can I say, the moment I took the first draw I loved it! For the price you pay I have to say this blew my mind. Cant fault the taste at all. Only downside I would say is the draw was a little tight but the experience and flavour you get makes up for it. Definitely looking forward to stocking up the humidor with this. On to the Siglo ii.

Charatan Senorita Cigar - 1 Single
by Gareth
Well what a joy. Bought a selection of 6 lower price cigars wich arrived this morning. Thought Id break one out to try with my coffee and being new to the world of cigars ive been floating around the budget lines from various online retailers. My 1st order from cgars didnt pan out well, the guantanamera minutos were a massive dissapointment, no taste, smoke or smell. This little beauty was a pleasure from start to finish, a light but flavoursome stick that burned well and evenly. The taste didnt become peppery until It was down to my fingers. A lovely quick smoke about 10-15 minutes, cant quite say what the aroma was but like I said I am new to this. My plan is to order 5-6 different cigars each month to find my go to but will order these again.

I thought I had a bad filling. Like smoking a dirty penny.

Personally I am not generally inclined to either the taste or strength of Mexican cigars, but this one was most certainly an exception. It was not one that I was pleased to find out as being the mystery cigar in the December subscription box, although it turned out to be a pleasant surprise in the end. Spicy with a hint of sweetness, smooth and creamy with no hint of bitterness, fairly strong yet not overly so, lots of aromatic smoke, a consistently even burn and an absolute joy from initial light to stub. Bravo to the person deciding to add it to the subscription box and helping to change my mind a little about Mexican cigars as a result.
