Fratello Classico Fuoco Cigar - 1 Single by Simon

3rd attempt at saving this review, so fingers crossed! Got this today as my £10 mystery stick. I chose to remove the wrapped foot for ease of lighting with a long match. Fuller flavour to start, then mellower halfway but found a bitter taster on the pallet for the last half. Pleasant enough to sit and watch the sprinkler click away for 20 minutes but not a stick I would choose again.

Flying Dutch Corona Cigar - 1 Single by David

Cracking value. A smooth and slightly sweet smoke. Even burn that didn't need a relight. The first draw was beautiful, and a very pleasant first third. A shame there's not much smoke and it requires a fairly strong draw to get even close to a mouthful. Still got a few rings blown though. A tangy second third, and rounded off with a more bitter but still pleasant final third. I have no issue recommending this, would be better a bit looser but a great value smoke.

Fratello Classico Fuoco Cigar - 1 Single by Iain

Like many of the other reviewers I got this as a £10 mystery cigar. I have to say that I actually quite enjoyed this one! It looked like it would be a rather short smoke but it lasted for a good forty minutes. Lighting was a bit of a faff because of the closed foot but once I got it going it kept an even burn and had a very good draw. I can't say that I experienced any of the bitterness that other reviewers have noted, in fact I got a little sweetness that offset the strength of the smoke. Perhaps these are not as consistent as they could be but I clearly must have been given a good one. Would I buy another one at full price? Probably not, but for a tenner it was a bit of a bargain. Worth a try.

Foundation Charter Oak Original Petit Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Joshua

Very refined flavour profile at this price point. Starting out little spicy in the first third, developing into woody earthy notes and then some subtle sweetness in the final third. A nice traditional aroma throughout.

Fratello Classico Fuoco Cigar - 1 Single by Chas

Got this as a mystery cigar a couple of months ago (only getting around to it now as I don't get the chance to smoke that often). I'm very new to smoking cigars but here's my 2 cents - construction was solid, verging on tight. I used my perfecdraw tool once and and that loosened it up well. Ash held up very well too, and it was bordering hard to ash, creating a pyramid when I did. Aroma off the smoke is very rich and pleasant. First 3rd was actually very bitter and tasted almost burned, not sure where the comments on creaminess came from, but I struggled to taste much at this point other than strong smoke. Retrohale was spicy and little else. The second 3rd smoothed out and my palate got tastes of wood and some sweetness which was quite pleasant. It needed a couple of touch-ups at this point as it started to burn unevenly. Never managed the final third as the strength suddenly kicked my ass out of nowhere like I owed it money, and I couldn't finish it haha. It lasted about an hour for me to this point, but I probably should have slowed down due to the strength..

Fonseca KDT Cadetes Cigar - 1 Single by Ali

Call this my walking cigar. Very light and unfortunately I get through this very quickly. But a great introduction to cigars for anyone starting out and a very good price for a cuban cigar. I always have a few of these sat in my humidor. No frills but you know what you are getting with these
