H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single
by Garry
Very mild, very pleasant smoke. Draw was a little tight but it smokes so nicely I didn’t mind having to work for it. Lasted 30 minutes and I enjoyed every minute of it. Nothing complex about the flavours however the one I smoked was brand new, just ordered five more to lie down for a while and see what develops.

H. Upmann No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single

Great draw and a wonderful medium flavour which just gets better. Burn was excellent with strong tight ash which stayed firm till half way down. The only problem you will have is finding enough time to smoke it to the nub, this big boy lasted me 45 minutes and I was sorry when I had to finally lay it to rest. So good I immediately ordered another three to lay down and see how much better they can become.

Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Mohammed
A superb cigar, very smooth from the first puff to the last. The taste was very nutty like almonds with hints of leather. I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar as I’m usually put off by the length of other cigars with this ring gauge as they take over an hour to smoke but this one can be enjoyed in 45min.

At my first try of one of these I felt disappointed...probably because I was expecting more intense flavour from a name like Epicure Especial. However my first impression was wrong. I have just taken the time to try one of these again and approached it this time with a more open mind... I think the first time I was especting a punch in the mouth of flavour while not remembering that this after all was a Hoyo. Hoyo are more of a light to medium flavoured cigar and this one is no exception. The Epicure is a very smooth cigar, there is no bitterness here, for what is quite a young cigar. It has definite old but light tanned leather undertones coupled with what recognise as a taste of a subtle honey blossom, great for a english summer afternoon smoke. This is an easy smoke, a real relaxer, rather then a smack in the mouth of flavour... And now I have let my Epicure lay for a short time I am convinced they will probably just get better with age.

Wow! What a cigar! From the magnificent presentation of the cigar itself with its finely rolled outer shell, double golden labels, triple cap, to its sparklingly aroma of creamy chocolate and coffee. The length and gauge is just perfect, which reflects the overall taste! The draw was not too easy and not too strenuous, with the ideal amount of white smoke being bellowed out. The construction is well packed and holds itself even towards the final 1/3 of the cigar! The ash holds for around 2cm. The taste as I said is wonderful, with it starting off a little strong on the palette but eventually mellows down to a medium roast of chocolate and coffee. It took 80 minutes to smoke this bad boy, and boy was it worth it!
