Foundation The Upsetters Small Axe Petit Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Josh

Sweet little cigar, flavour notes for me were honey, cedar, hints of pepper. I am new to trying to pick out the flavours so don't hold me to it! The construction was great for me. Couple touch ups here and there but nothing major. Produced a lot of creamy smoke, lasted about 45 mins. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this smoke. Was in my humidor for about a month at 65% rh.

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

I found this fairly uneventful, not a huge amount of flavour. I'd say leather tasting if anyhting, but i didn't really get much of anything else. Burned ok, I felt like it needed to be worked a bit. I've got the other two to try this weekend, hopefully I get a bit more from them.

Fratello Classico Fuoco Cigar - 1 Single by Jake

This cigar came as my mystery cigar and initially I was very happy about this. I’m not one to judge a cigar by the size as I smoked many smaller cigars that have been outstanding. Upon first light I smoked through the closed foot which was spicy and woody. I found this pleasant. As I got into the first third of the cigar it already had a heavy bitterness that you may find at the very end of any other cigar. This bitterness increased in intensity as I smoked through the cigar and found myself regularly reaching for my coffee to balance out the taste. I didn’t get many tasting notes from this cigar apart from bitter burnt notes, heavy antique wood notes and the occasional burnt caramel. One silver lining of this cigar is the construction. I was able to smoke the cigar without ashing it and even managed to stand it up on its ash when I was finished with it. Overall I was disappointed by the cigar and would not smoke it again.

Fratello Classico Fuoco Cigar - 1 Single by Tomasz

Firstly I must say this is a small cigar, but it looks really good, label, pig tail and closed foot maks it look really good. Said that it's the best thing about it. Strength! It is a strong cigar I don't mind strong cigars but this one is... To over powering. Construction. The one I got was very firmly rolled And didn't burn even at all for just under 4 inch I had to correct it multiple times. So all the way I had to pay attention to how it burns. Flavour. It wasn't bad but nothing special the strength was so overwhelming I didn't enjoy it as a matter of fact I would not buy it for a fiver (price of it is over 15 pound I do not recommend it, maybe it's just the one I got that happens but there's a lot better cigars. Took me over 45 minutes to smoke but I had to relight it twice One of the worst cigars I ever had, actually I can only remember one cigar that was as bad

Foundation Charter Oak CT Broadleaf Lonsdale Cigar - 1 Single by Ben

A beautiful dark wrapper on a well constructed cigar with good draw and even burn, a straight forward flavour, perhaps lacking the development I look for throughout a cigar but this is almost certainly down to personal preferance, rather than any fault of the cigar.

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.
