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.

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.

Nice little cigar. I've ordered these a few times and they make a fantastic 20 minute smoke for when time is short. Quite a smooth smoke with a peppery finish. I did however have one which went super bitter mid way. Could of been a bad stick, what do you want at under £2 per cigar. Will definitely be purchasing again

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.

I guess this would be a good cigar for beginners.
Out of the packet, the stick has a spongy feel. Sniff test: Mild tobacco with (bizarrely) a faint underscore of urine.
Initial impressions upon lighting: A nice, loose draw, with plenty of mild-tasting smoke. There's a mild taste of tobacco with an added underscore of cedar wood that lingers only briefly on your tongue.
The first third had a good, steady burn. The ash is loose, and falls away within barely an inch. There's no change in the pleasant, mellow flavour.
The middle third introduced a mild taste of creamy chocolate for a few draws. I also detected a taste of hops which, again, didn't last long.
The final third maintained that mild taste. It did get a little stronger but it was still no more than a mild stick.
In conclusion, this is a mild, mellow-tasting stick I would imagine would be an ideal starter for someone who hasn't smoked cigars before. Burn time is about 20 minutes so it's ideal for those with little time to spare.
At the price, this is an okay smoke ideal for beginners.
