I was very eager to try this cigar. When it came to smoking the Leon Jimenes Bee, it was a disapointment as it didn't give me the taste I expected. The sweetness was mediocre at best, you would still taste the tobacco (which is nice) I may need to try another to see whether I would buy this again. I am still eager to try the Vanillea flavoured Leon Jimenes. They seem to be quite poppular as they are always out of stock. So the rating will have to be a modest 3 stars. Construction wise it's good, creamy smoke, just the sweetness of the honey wasn't there.

A lovely sized cigar which burns well, keep the ash nicely and has a pleasant smell to the smoke. On the lips it is sweet and there is a strong hint of cheery which at first is pleasant but after a while it is like the cough medicine type cheery that is over bearing, chemical in taste and quite nasty. I thought maybe they would benefit from some humidor time so stored four for a few weeks to relax and temper?? nope still the same chemical after taste like you have just sucked on a cough sweet and not a nice one.
Will skip these in future.

Very dark; so lots of chocolate and vanilla from get go and holds ash till half way and it just lets go for a free for all and generates an insane amount of heat in the final third, I have been looking for a cigar crosses between Cohiba and Bolivar and flavour wise this hits the mark, but its construction lets it down. What could be a perfect cigar, in my book.

I Am generally a smoker of Siglo 2 and 3 Cohibas and trinidad reyes - beautiful cigars - but ordered 5 of these lovely things - smoked one, stored 4 and ordered another 5 - really nice with a single malt !!!!

A really pleasant smoke.
Smooth and subtle, decidedly medium but with enough of that Nicaraguan bitterness to satisfy those who like a stronger stick.
Plus excellent value for money.

A nice cigar for the money - lasted 55 minutes for me, with an even burn and no relights necessary. Flavour started with walnuts and leather and became more leathery towards the middle with hints of marzipan. The final third had a distinctly menthol/eucalyptus quality. I generally go for milder Connecticut wrapped cigars, but this was a pleasant smoke and packs a nice complexity without being overly strong.
