I received a Davidoff Ambassadrice as a £10 mystery cigar from C Gars. The ring gauge of 26 is a little thin for my liking, I normally go for a heavier ring gauge with a Robusto being one of my favorite vitolas. That been said I did enjoy this smoke, very subtle flavor all the way down, it lasted me about 20/25 minutes. A nice smoke and at the mystery cigar price of £10 a good deal not sure I will purchase again at the normal price of £15.75

Flawless construction and an even burn from start to finish - no touch-ups required. Excellent and consistent draw. Overall, a lovely, easy smoke; smooth, and sweet and with a subtle hint of suede. Top marks! (and just as well considering the price).

Sadly I didn't have a good experience with this cigar. The draw was very tight, which surprised me for a Davidoff as they are known for their quality control. I tried my Perfect Draw tool to improve the draw but this did little to help. I had to relight three times but had to give up in the end. I've smoked a few Davidoff cigars and have always had a good experience with them so I must have just got a bad one this time!

So pleased with this! I ordered the Drew Estate Blackened ranger sampler and this was the first one I tried. A birthday treat and smoked in the rain with a glass of Westerhall Plantation rum. It took me 35-40 minutes before I very sadly finished this superb creation. Smooth, smoky, creamy and deeply satisfying. I'm really looking forward to trying the others in the sampler but even in the worst case scenario, I know I can come back to this one. Well done Drew Estate!

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, but I really enjoyed it. Taken straight out of the humidor, it lasted around 20 minutes, and the flavour was excellent, very sweet on the lips, smooth, and fuller than you’d guess from the small size. For me, it could easily jump into the “favourite of its type” list. The Sumatra wrapper and the light infusion combine for a mellow but satisfying smoke. It’s one of those little cigars that punches above its weight. I’ll definitely keep a tin in the rotation.

If you’re looking for a solid, flavorful cigar at a low cost,something you can enjoy regularly without worrying too much, Factory Smokes Maduro fits the bill. It delivers good Maduro‐style flavor (coffee, chocolate, pepper) at a bargain. But if you expect high‐end craftsmanship or intricate flavor transitions, you may be slightly underwhelmed.
