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!

King Edward Imperial Cigars - Pack of 5
by Jonathan
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
by Marcus
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

King Edward Imperial Cigars - Pack of 5
by Stephen
I have smoked these in the past, but not seen them in the UK for a long time. I was keen to get reacquainted, and bought a packet of these and a packet of Invincibles. I have to say I was disappointed. I felt there was little flavour, it tasted plain and a little synthetic, more Castella than Henri Winterman. I think I saw a review here that rated the King Edward over the Henri Winterman. I often smoke the HW Half Coronas as a low cost alternative to the more expensive Cuban cigars(a more infrequent treat); while the HMs are also mass-produced by machine, for my palette I find they are much more tasty and distinctively flavoured, and also more firmly wrapped. To be charitable, maybe the King Edwards are just very mild, and that my taste has developed since I last smoked them. However, they aren't for me, and I shall be sticking to HM for my cheap smokes, unless anyone can recommend any alternatives!

This is the most full bodied of the range. While the strength of the casing isn’t quite as potent as the Grasmere, it more than makes up for it with a base of rich dark tobacco that gives this blend a full, dark chocolatey backbone. Interestingly, there’s also a hint of clove in there which would normally put me off, but I think it works really well with the overall sweetness of the blend. Calum - Turmeaus Chester

Grasmere flake holds off on the woody notes in favour of a full dose of powerful floral notes and aromas with a sweet cream undertone! Be warned: This is easily the most potently aromatic of the range, so it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, as the powerful floral taste can almost taste a little soapy (in fact, I once read a review for it that simply said “Whoops, I think I just put Imperial Leather in my pipe by mistake!) But if you like that element of Condor’s character, then this blend will give you it by the bucket load! Calum - Chester Turmeaus
