Drew Estate Liga Privada No. 9 Belicoso Fino Cigar - 1 Single (Discontinued) by Kielan

Now THIS is a cigar. The Liga Privada No. 9 is a wonderful example of the flavour of Connecticut broadleaf. The wrapper was toothy, oily and thick. It has a wonderful dark chocolate note, alongside espresso, brown sugar and baking spices - it had also picked up an aromatic cedar note from my humidor. Nick Melillo's magnum opus, in my opinion. Multiple, aged tobaccos from 7 different farms - wonderful!

Davidoff Aniversario Special R Tubos Cigar - 1 Single by RICHARD

The Aniversario series from Davidoff is my favourite series, that and the Nicaragua. The Special R is the perfect vitola. The 1st 1/3 is just ok, but the next two 3rds were unreal. Perfect burn line and perfect draw. The cigar has a slight marzipan sweetness which built up as I smoked through the last two 3rds. Very long and creamy finish. My favourite shade grown wrapped cigar.

Diplomaticos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single by Martin

First one of these for me recommended by a seasoned cigar smoker. I agree with many points from the other reviews. An incredibly beautiful wrapper. Amazing construction. Smoked well throughout. Flavour notes are lively, fresh, zesty and a mineral finish. Very easy to smoke. Mild to medium strength and a great day time smoke with it not being too strong.

Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label Invictos Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by RICHARD

This is a very good cigar, maybe even a great cigar. The flavours develop a lot as you smoke through the 3rds. The 1st 3rd had flavours of salty earth, leather and nuts. In the second 3rd the strength picked up and on top of the other favour notes a slight roasted coffee note came through. The final 1/3 was very interesting, it had a strong flavour note of mesquite, a slight tone of marzipan and some floral notes. I wasn't expecting this cigar to be as complex as it is, very pleasantly surprised.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Brulee Toro Cigar - Box of 13 by Andrew

What a fantastic smoke. Lovely and creamy with a nice hint of sweetness. My new go to favourite cigar. More than a 3 star smoke.

Davidoff Winston Churchill Raconteur Petit Panatela Cigar - 1 Single by Liviu

Lovely short smoke (20-30min)! Easy draw and did not need touching up even once. Excellent for social outings where you might be the only cigar smoker. Flavour profile was quite neutral - tobacco.
