JANUARY SALE - Punch Punch Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
Lovely! Well made, light to medium cigar for when you dont want anything to heavy. Reminds me why my favourites are always from Cuba. Its a bit like Champgane or Cognac, there are good examples made elsewhere but nothing beats the real deal.Perfect draw, good construction and flavoursome enjoyable smoke. Buy a handful for your humidor and you wont be disappointed.

Not a good cigar at all, in my opinion. I had immediate regrets upon examining this one. Dry wrapper, cheap plastic band. I had to cut off 2 inches from the head, reducing this to a 3 inch cigar, to get a decent draw because of major cracks in the wrapper. Probably because it was so dry it could’ve crumbled to ash in your hands. Construction was okay, well packed and burn was even, held its ash well. Flavours were unimpressive, I tasted curry, bizarrely enough, with a very acidic, tangy aftertaste. Not flavours one wants in a cigar. I bought this as a possible cheap everyday smoke but after sampling some Cubans and new worlds, I can safely say there’s much finer cigars available for a pound or two more than this. Bottom line: spend a bit more, get something you’ll actually enjoy. You get what you pay for. Excellent service from CGars, though :)

Bought this after reading the reviews and have decided they must of been bribed to review them like that.
Miserable flavours. The odd marzipan on the finish and mild watered down pepper taste on the retrohale. Nothing else at all to mention on flavours.Little smoke output unless you chuff away multiple times. Got 35-40 minutes worth of misery.
The burn I had to correct massively on 3 occasions and it even went out a couple of times seconds after a pull. Should be given away free with orders and £6.19 is comical.
Avoid this!!!

Sadly not a great smoke. I had high expectations for this one, the band looks great, wrapper nice and oily, well constructed. However the draw was just awful. The burn was great, very even, but it was like sucking through a straw from start to finish. 40-50 minute smoke. Flavours were enjoyable with lots of smoke, coffee, nuts, moss, caramel, however I wonÂ’t be buying this one again as the draw was just nonexistent. Great service from CGars, though :)

An hour of smooth, mellow bliss! In my opinion, for the price, this is pretty unbeatable. Handmade, long filler, quality embossed band that vaguely resembles Bolivar’s, excellent construction, burn and draw (and it measures 5 1/2 in length, not 5” as listed by CGars, so that was a nice surprise!) This was my first non-Cuban smoke and I’m thoroughly impressed, had lots of earthy, nutty flavours with a spicy, wood finish. Flavours ignite early on and develop nicely throughout, I will definitely be buying more of these! Second order from CGars which included free mints and a pen! Thanks a million, CGars :)

Jose L Piedra Conservas Cigar - 1 Single
by Jurgent
First of all excellent packaging and very fast delivery, congrats c.gars. Now the cigar for me it was tight in the draw for the first half. Flavour was pleasant but nothing too complex and strength was a solid medium for me. Smoke time close to 45 minutes if you pace yourself. All and all an excellent daily smoke and given the price you cannot go wrong. Hadnt been for the tight draw this would get 5 stars but I suppose there is always next time.
