Guantanamera Cristales Cigar - 1 Single
by Christopher
I got one of these in a trial sample pack. I take my hat off as this is a very good. It’s well packed. The construction of the cigar is good. It lights very well with a more mild taste( usually a sweeter preference for myself) but did really enjoy this one. Burn time was about 45 mins. I will definitely being adding this one into my favourite list.

Could of been a 5 star but both of the sticks I got were way to tight, annoying draw which is a shame because their seemed to be a lot of smoke coming outta the lit end and on one of the cigars i had a issue with the rapper not burning properly, but I probably should of let it sit in my humidor a little longer. Apart from that that flavors were great, burn ash and wrapper all looked awesome and I will probably have another at some point in the future!

Imagine the scene: you've had Christmas Dinner with the extended family; much food and drink has been consumed; the only item left is a good cigar: 'I will take my port into the workshop with a cigar!', you announce. 'Good idea!' cry several present, I'll come with you!'
Now, sharing a few choice sticks with friends is one thing, but handing them out like After Eights is not what you had in mind. Suddenly the image of a lot of wasted puros looms! Then you remember the box of Guantanameras. Perfect! They are cheap, Cuban, and mild. Your esteem can only rise! And, if you choose a more select brand for yourself, you need only remark: 'I like a stronger cigar myself'.
A few will abandon their cigars after the first third, which is indeed very mild. One or two will stay the course, to enjoy the meatier end. But all will go home happy in the knowledge that the Old Man generously shared his cigars. Brilliant! Or you might simply enjoy one yourself. Whichever is the case, the Guantanamera Crystale is a good buy. The flavour doesn't develop, it just gets gradually a little stronger.

Mac Baren's Vintage Syrian was (and is - if I can find one of their last tins) one of my favourite tobaccos. Cyprian Latakia by comparison is heavy and one dimensional. That being said Germains have done a nice job with this blend - I presume it is not 100% Latakia though it does look like it might be - producing a smoke that reminds me very much of the stuff my granddad used to smoke and enjoy.
But watch out if you smoke it in a big bowl - I've just finished a load in my big old Savinelli 141 and by the time I got to the dying embers the smokey, tarry, leathery flavours for which this leaf is renown were overwhelming. Very nice tobacco.

Gold Block Pipe Tobacco 40g Pouch

A lot of people say this is no longer as nice as it used to be. Although I agree I feel as though some of the reviews are slightly harsh. It was a mellow smoke for me with hints of caramel, a nice relaxing smoke in the evening but not something I usually go to.

Not a bad smoke was expecting a bit more after reading the reviews, didn't really live up to the star ratings that it has been getting, however the Draw was ok and ash stacked up nicley but felt the flavour was a bit lacking and not as smooth as i would like Not really my kind of smoke.
