Trying this for the first time, I'm not getting any 'airborne' Lakeland taste for which I am thankful. This is one that GH have not 'polluted'. It's sweet and flavoursome but the described note is missing. Odd. But as taste is subjective not a concern. This took to the flame very well, a little too thick cut to fold and stuff, so a tad of rubbing out was called for. This is by now bowl number three. Cubing was a no-no, this tobacco wants love and attention not brutality with a blade. Heavy rubbing out (bowl 2) made it zip along and the bowl was gone, ashes to ashes style. Room note is negligible, the cat has not complained yet and he does, often. Luckily for me the wife has no sense of smell so even pure Latakia doesn't faze her. Leaving the room I smoke in and re-entering some ten minutes later I noted a pleasant round aroma of quality tobacco , no cigarette nastiness, just pipe smoke. I shall be buying more of this. The next bowl will be a mixing experiment, perhaps with a little Turkish/Izmir to see if I can brighten the taste, with a touch more acridity. An excellent GH product.

As we know these cigars are machine made. One of the issues I've found over many years of buying them, is occasionally you'll find a bad cigar in a batch. I've noticed this particularly with boxes of 50, but even some packets of five. Some are potholed with tiny holes by the machine, making them useless unless you can cut them down, but some have holes throughout the length of the cigar, meaning it has to be binned. Other than that, it's a very mild smoke and I'll continue to buy them here and overseas.

This is a good alternative to some stronger tobaccos. A good, cool, all day smoke.
When I first opened the tin, the tobacco smelt very perfumed, perhaps too much so. But how wrong I was, when I took my first puff I was greeted by the extremely pleasant flavours of vanilla with hazel nut. Sweet, but highly flavoured.
The aroma of this tobacco is phenomenal, powering throughout the room. The scent lasting a long time with hints of sweet and fruity nuts.
This tobacco does have a reputation for “ghosting” your pipe, leaving remnants of the smoke for a long time to come. But, considering the amazing flavour, I don't really see this as a downside as it makes for some very interesting combinations when mixed with other tobaccos.
All in all, this tobacco is best for those who enjoy a lighter more flavourful smoke.

they arent a cuban, never will be, and never intended to be. As a cheap cigar bought at the price they are in the USA they are amazing value, and I always grab some while i'm over there.
Over here however, once the taxman's been at the price tag... you might as well go buy some entry level cubans (jose piedra's for example) for the same money!

I am new to cigars and I haven't smoked many my favourite so far would have to be the Cuban cigars. But this rare beauty my god so smooth so tastefull very sweet and citreous on my pallet a nice smoke even burn and just delicious to enjoy. I hadn't actually heard of King Edwards until my father mentioned that's what he used to smoke back in his golden days so I was curious to see my fathers choice and all I can say is I will be ordering more than 1 pack at a time next time highly recommended goes great with a nice cup of coffee

King Edward Imperial Cigars - Pack of 5

Legendary as these cigars are, I didn't believe that they would live up to their name; I was mistaken. The four T's:
The burn time; if smoking at a slow pace, can last up to and over 45 minutes.
The smoke output is plentiful and it smooth.
The taste is creamy and there are soft tobacco notes.
The construction Varies with each cigar, this is because it is machine made; mediocre to average quality.
In conclusion, it is a cigar for a social occasion or a relaxing in the garden; if you are on a budget
