This was a pleasant surprise.
It smoked cool, burned even and it felt smooth. Almost no harshness on the throat. Pleasant flavours, slightly sweet.
Its very mild but thats to be expected with Connecticut. Overall a great pairing with a pre-work morning coffee or for a short lunch break.

Charatan Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Jason
Not great. The cap was broken and the wrapper also began to crack and come apart. Tried to nurse it through to smoke which was OK but couldnt really get a decent draw on it. Overall disappointed and wouldnt buy again if this was a yardstick of their quality.

Cuaba Distinguidos Cigar - 1 Single
by Simon
My first of these and, I would have to say, very enjoyable. I was over zealous with both the cut and the lighting, it only needs a little snip and next time I will try just lighting the little tip. A very easy draw and I would say a typically Cuban flavour, if you know what I mean. Lots of smoke, I usually double puff most cigars to fully appreciate the flavour, no need to with this one; even after it’s been put down for a rest. Really enjoyed the first third; definitely full flavoured due to the full flavour of the wrapper, no doubt, but nice with it. I do like strong flavours. Into 2nd third and, I would say, cooler and creamier but I’m never sure whether it’s just my palate becoming familiar with the flavour. Into final third, still mild and creamy to my old taste buds, although flavour started to change to a little harsher, still enjoyable. Last inch it became a little too harsh, even for me. Not really a fan of the end of the cigar, but that might be because I ran out of cognac!
Shame it’s not a little cheaper, is my only personal gripe; if it was I would buy a lot more. Overal

Very new to cigars, but have to say this was one the most enjoyable smokes Ive had...ever!

A good tasting 20 minute smoke, but don’t expect it to stay alight for any longer than 30 seconds if left alone

Cohiba Medio Siglo Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by William
This is a nice cigar, there’s no bones about it, however, I’m struggling to justify the price tag. At £28 a pop, I can buy 3 or 4 really nice new world cigars, or cheaper Cubans. I didn’t feel that this was £20 better than some of the £8 per stick ones I’ve had. I had a box of Siglo Vs and thought the same, maybe from now on I will just stick to the mid rangers as I obviously (despite smoking cigars for 10 years now) haven’t got a refined enough palate to tell the difference. On a tasting note, this cigar was spicy, with lovely earthiness and robust flavour. I found the draw a little too hard, the same with other Cohibas, some are good and some try your patience. Get one and try it, you won’t be disappointed, just poorer...
