Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Shade Petit Corona Cigar - 1 Single - C.Gars Exclusive by Steven

I dont usually go for mild cigars, I usually can't pick up the subtle flavour notes. But when the occasion calls for it, sitting in the sun with an espresso, this one was really nice! Creamy, nutty and sweet honey. Great construction. Didn't need any touch ups at all.

Fribourg & Treyer Blackjack (Formerly Citrus) Pipe Tobacco - 50g Tin by MARK

Just tried this as a sample to see if i liked it, got tongue bite straight away, didnt get any citrus i did get the slight taste if grass, i used a non ghosted savinelli venere pipe to smoke it, not for me.it will go in my pot to blend with something else to save wasting it.

Foundation The Tabernacle David Cigar - 1 Single - C.Gars Exclusive by Barry

Hands down one of the best cigars I've ever had, construction, smoke output and flavour profile is phenomenal, also one of the best looking cigars on the market, the band artwork is incredible. Almost black wrapper, very toothy, initially it feels dry; however, it coats the palte and fingers with oils. It also feels tightly packed, i did expect a tight draw; however, it was near perfect using a V cut, smoke output was vast and burn whilst not razor sharp was nice and straight with zero corrections needed. Make no mistake, this is a flavour bomb with full strength and full body, it will punish you for not eating beforehand, I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. Flavours are smooth but exceptionally strong espresso coffee upfront alongside dark, bittersweet chocolate, shifts to a light cedar and old leather, finish is dry cacao and a touch of roasted nut, massive amounts of spicy black pepper throughout. Absolutely glorious cigar, definitely try it.

Foundation The Upsetters Range Sampler - 3 Cigars by Samir

Just got back from trying the Upseters, and I’d definitely recommend them for daily smoking. The three sizes all have a bit of their own flavour, but each one is smooth, sweet, and really enjoyable. Great value for the price, and easy to reach for on a daily basis.

Foundation The Upsetters The Skipper Cigar - 1 Single by Lee

Got to say I was disappointed with this one, after a couple of the ska cigarillos I was looking forward to trying this out but it became apparent rather quickly that this smoke was going to be hard work!!! The burn was very uneven and required more touch ups with the lighter than I'd have liked,the draw was ok but occasionally gave abit of pop n fizz,something I wasn't expecting!!! The wrapper cracked quite early on into the smoke which added to my woes,all in all for me it was a disappointment for me. The only positive for me was that unique cow tongue tobacco taste.

Foundation The Upsetters Ska Cigarillo Cigar - 1 Single by Lee

Having smoked a couple of these ska cigarillo's now it's time to do a review. I found this pleasant half hour ish smoke,it burned evenly with a good amount of smoke and a pleasant if not unique aroma,probably due to the Jamaican cow tongue tobacco used,the same can be said of the taste,well for me anyway!!! Can't give any pairing info with drinks as smoked them straight but will pair up with accompaniments when I get the next batch.
