An immediate favourite and five stars. Flawless construction. Tastes of varnished wood, cinnamon and cloves (Christmas!). An amazing perfumed aroma of lemon-ice, honeysuckle and vanilla. A pleasant cigar to smoke in company. A sweet sherry, caramel and gingerbread finish (again with the Christmas!). Perfection

I have to agree with Alistair. This is a lovely herf.
Easy to draw, lovely flavour to the end.
I have had more trouble drawing from a Montechristo and less flavour from an Upmann.
I was not at all disappointed with this and will likely buy more.

Hard one as I was really expecting a lot after reading the reviews but the one I had was really hard to draw until the last third so slightly disappointed, I really had to work hard and didn't get much smoke at all. Build was excellent, packed tight, plenty of flavour all the way down, spice and cream, maybe next time I will leave it for a while and see if it makes any difference. Not discounted it, but not rushing back quite yet. A very personal review, tainted by the VERY hard draw. Worth trying, you may think different.

Good construction, fairly easy draw. Rustic wrapper, but fairly handsome stick. Some unfamiliar notes in the flavour profile but nothing objectionable. Great looking ash, only needed minor correction toward end. Enough depth of flavour to keep me interested - good for the price. An interesting enough smoke at a decent price - for £7 I'd usually rather smoke a Perla size Habano - Monte 5 or similar. But I can imagine times this would fit the bill - something to puff on while having a round of pitch and putt - something to puff on of an afternoon down the pub etcetera.

My goodness, it took me a long time to add any Filipino cigars to my shopping cart, but I'm very glad I did. This cigar is amazing value for money. It looks inferior sitting next to beautiful and expensive cubans and equivalent new world cigars, something that could be cured almost entirely by having a less cheap tacky looking band. That aside though, it smokes really well. Easy draw, burns perfectly and has loads of flavour. If I were a seasoned smoker I'd go through a list of flavours and attribute them to each third of the cigar, but I'm no so I won't.
The £/smoking pleasure ratio of this cigar is so good that it would be misleading to knock a star off for the tacky band. 5/5

Lovely medium flavoured cigar, one of the best smokes you can buy for the money, only downside is they can be tight on the draw, I'd say one in three are. But never the less these are one of my favourite non Cuban smokes.
