I really enjoyed this cigar. I got spice on the lips on the cold draw, followed by a savoury, earthy, dry grass flavour once lit. Very pleasant on a warm evening. I certainly didnt get any sweetness but this didnt bother me. Would go great with a dry G&T. Draw was on the tight side and the burn was excellent all the way through. The finish Was when the peppery flavours came through more clearly. I will be buying them again.

The construction on this cigar was nothing short of phenomenal, the draw was perfect, the burn was razor sharp and the ash held on for just over an inch at a time. I was taking long deliberate draws about once a minute and this cigar easily gave me 45 minutes of enjoyment, but Im quite a slow smoker because Im such a lightweight when it comes to nicotine. The flavours under the description are fairly accurate; a nutty-ceder from start to finish, quite subdued and quite palatable for a rookie smoker like me, on the retrohale the ceder came in much stronger but not so much that it overwhelmed me or burnt out my nostrils. The one I smoked this evening was probably more on the light-medium side, the flavours are pretty basic and there is no real complexity or development to speak of but for the price I feel like I got tremendous value and enjoyment. A great budget stick in my opinion.

I wanted to enjoy these and to a certain extent succeeded. I found them a little harsh in places and with hind sight would have left them in the humidor for a while longer.
Overall OK but I prefer the Inca secret blend at the price.

I had a look at the price and decided to give it a shot. Generally i can describe this cigar as bitter and little spicy. It was constructed pretty well, nothing was wrong with it. It was easy to light and maintained an even burn throughout. The draw was perfect. While the cigar burned, the light gray ash stayed attached up to about one third in. My biggest gripe with this particular cigar is the flavour, all throughout the burn it was very bitter. The woody flavour is present, and at about first third in, spicyness kicked in too. Not overly spicy (and i love spicy cigars) but you can definetly notice it. Did I say it was bitter? Oh yes, it was. From the start to the finish it was just getting worse and worse, and after 2/3 burned off, it just got unbearable. Overall the experience was okay. I do respect the build quality for the price, but I hope that my particular cigar was a one off and the rest arent as bitter. I will give them another shot, but I need to recover from this one.

Been a fan of this make of cigars for years.
Shame they only seem to sell these and the mini cigarillos in the uk.
These benefit from a weeks proper storage at 70 RH in a humidor before smoking them.
The only real minus point is the roll is sometimes a bit rough, that does kind of add to their charm for me.
In spite of this the burn is good and the draw is nice and easy.
They burn for less than ten minutes but every puff is a slightly sweet and full of flavour.
They are very well suited to a nice pint of real ale or two, but due to size, one is never enough.

I don’t have a whole lot to say about this cigar. For the price, I think it’s good. Handmade, good construction, burned evenly with good draw. But the flavours weren’t spectacular. There was the usual nutty flavours along with a hint of caramel, but not a lot else. It reminded me of a big cigarette to be totally honest so, for that reason, I wouldn’t reorder.
