£4.99 non-Cuban. If someone handed me this and uttered those words I wouldn't be expecting much but boy would I be wrong. In terms of construction I had no complaints with this little beauty; her draw was easy without being loose, her construction solid and burn even. Taking a 'dry' draw you get sweet, honey-like flavours which are also present when lighting up. I'd describe the initial flavour as being like a sweet-cure virginia pipe tobacco, which in my books is a good thing. This sweetness is joined with a light cedar, and as you progress the woodiness begins to dominate but without even killing the sweetness. Also, its worth noting that when I say 'woodiness' it never goes as deep as say a Bolivar. In fact to compare it against any Cuban I've had it would be closest to a RyJ Cedros, though not as spicy.
It seemed to compliment the Ardmore I was drinking quite nicely but I think it would be equally matched to a good rum - possibly from Martinique.
Finish was long - so much so that I could still taste it the following afternoon.
This cigar represents real bang for your buc

I was a bit skeptical to be honest, but I really enjoyed it. Will definitely buy again

At under £5 a stick this is one of my favourite anytime smokes, rich and woody, well made burns evenly with a white ash. Fairly firm draw with a consistent overall smoke. I will always add at least 5 to my order, well worth a try. Not had a bad one yet.

just realised when reading back my review that I forgot to mention that after the first third, the cigar mellowed out an become a very easy, quite mild smoke, and lasted until only an inch remained before it became a bit hot. :)

I bought one of these out of curiosity a few days ago, and popped it in the humidor - couldn't resist the urge to try it, and have just finished a very pleasant 45 minute smoke. The first third of the cigar was quite spicy/tingly to me with a nice flavour and plenty of smoke. It burned very evenly and held it's ash well. I'm going to order ten of these for smoking as a very good, very reasonably priced cigar. I'd recommend a glass or two of port to go with it, they went together very well. :)
