Tried this cigar today at lunch time. it was very very peppery and spicy and a little bit dry. it had no tight draw. Really, really enjoyed this cigar. Wish I bought two.
Not for the beginner.

For a cheap regular smoke these are nice, about 30 minutes in length and pleasant, nothing amazing but an easy evening smoke. They are stated as robusto but in the description is does state 38 gauge-3&1/2inch, and lets be fair what are the chances of getting ten robustos for £45.00.

Not hugely complex, strong tobacco and earth tastes. Adequate for a thirty-minute dog walk. The major disappointment for me (and I really ought to have known better) is that I expected to smoke robusto-sized cigars. These most certainly are not 50 ring-guage by 5 inches in length. They are under 4 inches and have a ring-guage not too dissimilar to the round Villiger Exports (which, to my unsophisticated palette, are preferable). Please CGARS, describe these as what they are: Petite Coronas (and that's being generous). I know men are supposed to exaggerate when it comes to size, but this was ridiculous...

I don't get licorice or leather, but am impressed by the mature, fine quality tobacco flavours of this cigar, which belie it's budget price. I put the strength as mild- medium. Drew well, though uneven burn. The flavours intensify yet leave a pleasant taste on the palate. Into the second third it becomes more complex. Excellent post lunch or supper choice. The nicotine level is not excessive. If one were looking for a day to day smoke, with a good balance of quality, pungency and character, not many could beat this one at the price. Highly recommended.

Well what can I say. I've been looking forward to this as I'm quickly becoming a bigger Davidoff fan with every one I try. The wrapper is dark and oily without the slightest blemish. On the initial taste it's coffee and chocolate the after taste of leather and somthing slightly meaty. The only negative thing I would say is that you have to work to keep it lit and because of this got a little warm lower down. Smoked this with a Loch Lomand 18 whisky really good combination will be ordering more.

I found this cigar underwhelming - its charming & smooth but for me lacked a personality
