Had to baby this one for the first 25mins as it was over packed and didn’t want to burn, it got very mushy, hardly got any flavour or smoke out of it, but when I did there were some lovely chocolate notes, I had to touch up the burn as this went very wonky and started to canoe, the last two and a half inches got very hot and bitter, this was not a humidification problem on my part as all my other cigars smoke beautifully, the good points are it has an oily wrapper and if it had burned, would of gave off some really nice flavour, it’s a shame, think I just got a dud one here, might try this one again, maybe..!

Not a bad smoke, not a great one either. Slight Cuban taste. Was going to let it go half way through, quite glad I didnt as the last third opened up to some nice flavours.

One of the most enjoyable cigars I have experienced. Lots... no seriously LOTS of smoke! Mine lit effortlessly, and despite a reasonable breeze it burnt remarkably evenly all the way to the end. Very well wrapped, it was a firm draw in the first third, with an earthy flavour. The middle third however was a delight, with sweeter tones coming through and maybe even a hint of almond. The final third did become slightly more bitter but only in comparison and was still above average all the way to the end. A great smoke that I have reordered already

I chanced on these cigars when holidaying this summer in Turkey. These are nice and mild cigars and a good cheap entry level cigar for me as a beginner. A good draw lasts 45 mins to an hour and produces lots of smoke. The ash stacks nice even. I will be buying more of these considering the price.

Pretty ‘meh’ cigar for me. Had this about 3 weeks ago and the experience isn’t etched in my memory. Bought this as a potential everyday smoke but wasn’t too impressed. For a machine made cigar it did look pleasing but the draw was on the loose side and it burned rather quickly, despite its size... must have been quite loosely packed. The flavours were enjoyable, spicy with hints of coffee, but overall it isn’t a cigar I’d rush to buy again. Many better new world cigars constructed from medium/long filler that are better than this. If you fancy a cheap Cuban, Jose L Piedra’s beat these, in my opinion.

Gold Block Pipe Tobacco 40g Pouch
by Harry
I smoked Gold-block for more than 30 years (when is was available in Holland) and enjoyed it every time....
After its demise, I tried several other tobacco's, but in most cases it was like smoking an old mattress...not my cup of tea...
Thanx to the Lord, that I can by it by Turmeaus....
