I guess I got a dud given other reviews. It was fairly difficult to keep it lit, it was packed too tight and kept burning too fast down one side. The flavours were okay but I couldn't really appreciate them. I will probably avoid this one in the future.
This cigar came as part of a Davidoff sampler and was my first time smoking this brand.
I think I am discovering a preference for the more robust cigars. Although this quick 15-20 minute smoke was very pleasant, and to be fair exactly what I needed on my drive to cricket, it left me wanting more. It was very smooth and creamy but never came through with any new flavour profiles. Probably due to the ring size and length.
A nice intro into the Davidoff selection.
Another very pleasant visit to the Chester shop and I purchased the M81, it’s ok but there are better at this price point . Would I buy agin maybe but it’s not a show stopper .
A brilliant smoke! Definitely longer than 15 minutes. A solid construction, smooth draw, no retouch necessary. Very balanced flavor profile, notes of spice, sweetness, leather and wood.
On a visit to my local C.Gars store ( always a treat) I picked up this cigar because of the reviews , but sad to say it was not for me .
From the very 1st cut until the final puff it had construction issues with the wrapper splitting and falling away .
Other than that …. The taste was ok but one I won’t be trying again ….
I've been waiting for these Blackened cigars to land on our shores and I'm so glad they have. This must be one of the most powerful cigars I've ever smoked. I had it late night in the garden over the weekend and it didn't disappoint. Very woody and peppery. Stronger than the Maduro and left me feeling relaxed and reeling. A great smoke.
