A compact but satisfying smoke, this small cigar delivers a robust, full-bodied profile with pronounced notes of leather, rich Italian espresso, and cedar wood. Initial flavors carry a subtle undertone of chili spice, adding a gentle acidity that enlivens the palate without overpowering. As the cigar progresses, it mellows into rounded, earthy woodland notes, balancing intensity with a refined complexity. The narrow ring gauge results in a slightly warm burn, but construction is commendable, with an ash chimney that holds firm well past the halfway mark. An enjoyable post-lunch cigar, offering an impressive depth for its size. Rating: 6/10. Smoke time: 40 minutes

Appearance and Construction:
This cigar displays excellent construction, with a firm feel in the hand and no noticeable soft spots. The pre-light draw is easy, offering a preview of what?s to come. Upon lighting, it reveals its quality craftsmanship with a slow, consistent burn, forming a tight ash chimney. Though there was some unevenness in the burn, this did not significantly detract from the smoking experience.
Aroma and First Impressions:
On the nose, there?s a distinct sweetness dominated by warm, aromatic spices, notably allspice and clove. These notes immediately set the tone for a flavourful experience. Upon lighting, the initial smoke is mild yet aromatic, carrying the scent of applewood that complements the subtle spiciness.
Flavour Profile:
The first draws reveal a sweet, creamy vanilla flavor that coats the palate with smoothness, yet remains refined and well-balanced. The applewood smoke adds a light, natural sweetness that intertwines with the vanilla, giving the flavour profile a gentle depth. The smoke itself is notably silky and luxurious, gliding effortles

This a great budget cigar. Smooth and creamy with a woody taste. Good smooth draw, even burn and loads of smoke. Burn time 40 mins. Great with a strong coffee.

Usually buy ?15-?25 cigars and wanted to know if cheap cigars are just as good. Lesson learnt. Very bland. 2nd half is better but still not much taste. Doesnt hold the ash but burns evenly and lasts quite well. Will not buy any more and rather spend extra ?5 for a cigar with taste and quality. Usually feel relaxed and chilled but this made me feel neither.

I was really looking forward to this cigar because of the scent it had and it also had a really flavourful dry draw but when it came to lighting it even with a V-Cut it didn't want to draw, tried drilling a hole in it from the cut side and that didn't help at all, flavour could have been great on it but the execution of the cigar ruined it.

I'm still quite new to trying cigars and out of the 20 that I have tried in total so far I gotta say that this one and the J.cortes brand is definitely my favorite. Not a single part of this cigar was disappointing even though it is designed to be a very light and gentle cigar. Will definitely buy more and absolutely recommend them for the price!
