Had one of these sticks in the monthly subscription. It was a lovely 30 - 40 smoke. For a small ring gauge it packs a punch, it caught me off guard(in good way!) Paired very well with a single malt and had a great variety of flavour tone's throughout.

Construction was good, as was the draw. Nice even burn and plenty of smoke. 1st third was a strong punchy flavour of pepper and cedar, which calmed down a little in the 2nd third and much more mellow in the final third, whilst still tasting exactly the same. Not to my taste at all, I didn't enjoy any stage of it, but that is due to my personal preference and the lack of variety in flavour notes.

A compact but satisfying smoke, this small cigar delivers a robust, full-bodied profile with pronounced notes of leather, rich Italian espresso, and cedar wood. Initial flavors carry a subtle undertone of chili spice, adding a gentle acidity that enlivens the palate without overpowering. As the cigar progresses, it mellows into rounded, earthy woodland notes, balancing intensity with a refined complexity. The narrow ring gauge results in a slightly warm burn, but construction is commendable, with an ash chimney that holds firm well past the halfway mark. An enjoyable post-lunch cigar, offering an impressive depth for its size. Rating: 6/10. Smoke time: 40 minutes

Worst cigar I?ve had to date.
Blue in the face from trying to get a draw of it. It?s so tightly packed it?s nearly impossible waste of money

Well made with good taste notes but sadly let down by the construction. Had to use the perfect draw tool on more than one occasion!

Appearance and Construction:
This cigar displays excellent construction, with a firm feel in the hand and no noticeable soft spots. The pre-light draw is easy, offering a preview of what?s to come. Upon lighting, it reveals its quality craftsmanship with a slow, consistent burn, forming a tight ash chimney. Though there was some unevenness in the burn, this did not significantly detract from the smoking experience.
Aroma and First Impressions:
On the nose, there?s a distinct sweetness dominated by warm, aromatic spices, notably allspice and clove. These notes immediately set the tone for a flavourful experience. Upon lighting, the initial smoke is mild yet aromatic, carrying the scent of applewood that complements the subtle spiciness.
Flavour Profile:
The first draws reveal a sweet, creamy vanilla flavor that coats the palate with smoothness, yet remains refined and well-balanced. The applewood smoke adds a light, natural sweetness that intertwines with the vanilla, giving the flavour profile a gentle depth. The smoke itself is notably silky and luxurious, gliding effortles
