Erinmore Flake Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin
by Staff
Erinmore flake is known as an aromatic pipe tobacco, but it sure doesn't smoke like one.
When the tin is opened you are greeted by scents of apricots and sweet tea. When you first light your pipe you instantly know this is going to be a strong and full smoke. The flavouring is discrete, but full and fruity with tobacco being the main taste.
Because of its strength, this does not make a good all day smoke. It would best be saved for one every other day, as a treat. Despite it's strength, it surprisingly has little to no tongue bite. Although, it does seem to ghost the pipe.
I recommend this flake, only if you're used to some of the stronger tobaccos out there.

This has been my favourite cigar of its size by far, such good construction and absolutely beautiful burn. Such thick smoke and consistent taste throughout, I am really considering buying a box of these. Very high recommendations from me!

Me, a Taste Tester!!!! When I read I had been chosen, the first thing I thought of. Holy tobacco leaves batman! Does C.GARS Ltd know my new address! Just in case I better fire off an email. After a few days had past, a familiar package was on the dining room table when I returned from work. Inside.... 3 beautiful looking ERDM Choix Supremes. I decided to let them rest a couple days from their journey, but celebrated their arrival with a Partagas Presidente.
After a really lousy day of work, I decided it was time, so, I pulled out one of the ERDM's and a Becks beer, sat on the porch, and watch the rain.
Cigar #1
Nice chocolate brown wrapper, firm, and silky smooth to the touch, with an oily sheen. A nice clean cut with the Xikar and the cap pops off. Prelight draw, hints of mocha, and spice. Although the wrapper was split about a 3/4" it didn't affect the light. Very nice draw, lots of smoke, medium strength. This cigar smoked like most of the other cigars from an ISOM. Even burn, firm dark grey ash, and finished off strong and flavo

I have to apologize for what I am about to do, but it is so very apropos of this cigar: "Between sips, what pure aroma Rises from a steaming cup of coffee, Between puffs on a delicious Havana: The two compliment each other, And both our characters Sit in savory dialogue Discussing questions Of field and farming" Ricardo del Monte (1828-1909)
Made in the Lazaro Pena factory in Havana, located at San Carlos 816 (I mention the address in the hope that anyone who gets to Havana will go there and tell whoever is in charge how much I enjoy this vitola), this cigar is unique in flavor and an absolute must for every smoker of Puros. A perfect 5 x 48 (127 x 19), this cigar is a marvel of construction, and the paradigm of what a robusto ought to be. Every one I received was rolled to perfection. Upon opening the box I got a whiff of Nirvana to come; you hear about the "interesting" smell of a box of Cubans, but this is the one that sets the example for the rest.
A fully aromatic cigar, the nuances which develop are legendary. The color of this cigar is class

The first time I did a tasting note on this cigar I was rife with enthusiasm and a poetic line came to mind. I promised myself that if I were to revisit this cigar I would be less profuse in my praise. Sorry. Again, if you want any changes let me know.
As I opened my box of ERD Choix Supreme, boxed in February, 2000, I was transported back to Havana, at La Bodeguita del Medio. It is January, 1999 and I am sitting beneath a bit of graffiti written by Salvador Allende, "Cuba is free, Chile waits." Overpriced food and moderately decent mojitos are served. Back home my wife is fuming over my trip. I am mindful of what Kipling wrote in The Betrothed: "For Maggie has written a letter to give me my choice between The wee little whimpering Love and the great god Nick O'Teen." My choice was clear, light up a 'choice' cigar and, thus, I lit a Choix Supreme.
Although most consider this a Robusto, it is actually a Hermoso No. 4. Its ring gauge is 48 whereas a Robusto is 50. To the well trained eye (i.e., my ruler) you can tell the Hermoso

Can I first say, I rarely ever add reviews - but on this occassion I felt compelled. I ordered two of these boxes for a project I'm working on and the service I received from these guys was absolutely first class. I had some odd requirements but they managed to find two boxes perfectly fitting the description. The item was received quickly and it was packaged so neatly and well protected in thcik bubble wrap. Thank you very much and I will definitely be ordering from you again.
