I don't usually do reviews as my taste is simple and not much help to most people, ( Cohiba is best.), but I felt my experience was worth sharing.
I had one in my quest to fined a good walking home from work cigar, IE under £9 but good enough to relax with after a long day.
Bingo it was a finger burner with a Coffey. So the next day I ordered a box of ten, witch was a bad move, the box is made of some cheep nasty wood witch has tainted the cigars through there cellophane. I just finished one and they are still a good little smoke but i was getting the taste rewind with overtones of pine pitch or leylandii a real shame.
the other nine will be put in quarantine from my other sticks with the hope that a month on there own will purge the pine out.
I will be buying them again and would recommend them to everyone , BUT 1 Don't buy a box ether get singles or a bundle and 2 Mitchell ether burn all the boxes and never order them again or have them made to a higher stranded.
The cigars deserve a 4/5 but the review gets a 2/5 dew to the box.

I recently bought just one of these as a sampler and I have to say that I'm a little disappointed with it. Might just be me, dunno. On the positive side, it's a good, firm cigar, very well made. It smokes well and has a good draw. Problem is I found that it lacked any real depth. I also found it a little bitter. For me, it was bland and did not compare well against your average Cuban cigar. An entirely personal viewpoint, I acknowledge, but it didn't work for me.

I've had several of these in the humidor, but I've been increasingly concerned about one that was developing a split from the foot end so I decided to smoke it yesterday before it disintegrated entirely. I always use a punch rather than a cutter, and the cap survived being punched well, although the base of the cigar did unravel slowly as I smoked it.
In terms of flavour, this was as good as always, and given the problem with the split the burn was fairly steady most of the way down. However, by the time I reached the band the base of the cigar was also unravelling quickly and it was becoming increasingly difficult to get any sort of draw without putting half the cigar into my mouth. I eventually gave up with about one third left as it was becoming impossible to smoke.
This is the first of these that I've had any sort of quality issue with, and although I'm keeping an eye on the last couple I have in the humidor they are looking fine. Hopefully this was just a one off, and on this basis I'm going with four stars.

Bought one of these a few months back and just gotten around to smoking it. Starts quite spicey and woody and a little bitter but once it settles it turns very nice indeed. Smooth and floral sweetness throughout with a touch of white pepper. Burnt perfectly requiring no attention or touch ups and lasted me the best part of an hour. A very enjoyable smoke indeed.

This is my second review of this cigar...!! I have to say it is one of the best you can buy, in my opinion. Simply enjoyable.... You can't go wrong.... but please don't buy too many, I want them...!!! Lol

Well probably one of the worse cigar i have had from cgar yet. No flavour, dreadful burn as it kept tunneling and had to be nursed back and then got so hot with about 1 1/2" left i had to put it down, which isn't great for a short cigar. I will say great thick creamy smoke but that was it. I don't know if i just got a bad one which i know can happen but its not an experience i want again. On the plus side i have spoken with Mitchell who has offered me an alternative replacement which will be appreciated so because of the great customer service it will be a 2 star review.
