Smooth and an easy creamy smoking cigar with a small touch of spice all the way through. No touch up or re lights needed.
80 minute total smoke time at a leisurely pace which even got better as you reached the nub. Good ash retention and plenty of smoke.
A must have in any humidor.

This cigar was surprisingly good for a budget cigar. I paired it with a smoked coffee and they complimented each other brilliantly. It was a smooth draw, even burn with lots of smoke (which i love). The retro hale gives a lovely white pepper taste and a mild but nice creamy finish in the mouth. Its not a complex cigar as it shouldnt be for ?7 and machine rolled. Lasted 50 mins and left me feeling relaxed and calm. This is the only budget brand i have found that i enjoy. I usually smoke ?15-25 pound cigars but honestly i will buy more of these just as a cheap mid week smoke.

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.

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!

I was given one of these cigars when I attended the August tasting evening at Cgars Great Yarmouth. At first draw I found it to be very earthy but upon smoking, it became more and more enjoyable. It was an even burn and stayed lit most of the smoke. It had hints of cocca and gave a bitter sweet taste, a lot like a strong dark chocolate. There was peppery overtones and was a very nice smoke. I had it sitting in the garden on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Because of the sweetness of this cigar, It would work well with a whisky that has been matured in sherry casks such as a Lindores Sherry Release Lowlands Single Malt that that I purchased at the event in Cgars in Great Yarmouth or it would pair perfectly with a vintage port. Maybe a full bodied red wine? At the end of the smoke, it stayed constant and did not get too hot as some cigars do. I started towards the end to get notes of cedar and could detect ripe berries. This is why I feel that it would go with a port or full bodied red. It had three distinct caps and would properly be easy to cut, although, and this might upset the purists,

Lots of lovely creamy smoke, slight nutty flavours and not too heavy. Would definitely buy again.
