I’ve had aromatic tobaccos and aromatic pipe tobaccos, I figured I’d try an aromatic cigar.
It was very, very sweet on the lips. Started with a slight hint of coconut, smoked smooth and sweet throughout but to me, it was too sweet. Like smoking a giant sugar puff! I’ve still got the bee and blond to smoke yet and I’m worried the Honey Monster is going to rear it’s fuzzy head?!
Do buy it because, why not? Would probably make a great dessert cigar when there is no dessert but don’t expect amazing things.

Rather disappointed with this one. Not much taste,I would say no taste at all, draw was fairly bad.... will not buy again.

Amazing value and an excellent quality cigar. Well constructed, well packed and firm, starts nutty and light, develops to a medium rich typical Nicaraguan flavour with dark chocolate notes. Slight spiciness at times. Subtle, smooth with occasional sweet notes that keep you interested. A fifty minute smoke. Packed in screw cap tubes but with no cedar lining and the cigars in cellophane - a new one on me. Are the plain cello ones the same quality, I wonder? Ignore the price, a really good cigar, burnt perfectly and left me very impressed.

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 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.
