I have now purchased 7 of the My Father Flor De Las Antillas, Robusto. I Am fairly new to Cigar smoking but it is fast becoming my favourite pastime.
I have found that so far my Best smoke was the Davidoff Magnificos, however in very close second is the FDL Antillas.
The construction of this cigar is usually perfection, however the red band at the end of the Cigar, as seen in the photo above, has twice been fastened a little to tightly and has squeesed the wrapper for the first 15mm. This, however, does not negativly affect the cigars performance.
The burn on this cigar has been fantastic every time i have smoked one.
At the start you get hit with a beautifully thick, smooth, cool smoke that is very pleasant.
I get woody (Usually Cedar) and nutty flavours from this cigar and have been very impressed with it every time i have invested the time to smoke one.

After finally finishing this 5 cigar sampler, I decided that it was more than worthy of a little review to encourage you to take the plunge and purchase this selection of fine Petite Corona cigars….
The Petite Corona Full Flavour Sampler delivers exactly as it describes. All cigars are of medium body with some having a hint of fuller flavour. Each of the cigars have their own organoleptics (taste, texture, colour and flavour etc.). This adds to the variety of this selection.
Personally, I enjoyed each cigar and each cigar was different to the rest. All had a fantastic draw and good burn. I would say a word of note that the Vegas Robaina Familiares does need to be managed from the beginning to maintain an even burn and avoid too much heat into the last third.
As with every sampler, the enjoyment should come from trying them. The Cohiba is of course a stunner but the real winner out of the five for me was the Bolivar Petite Corona. A real gem of a cigar. Earthy peaty flavours, with a sweetness left on the lips with great depth. Fantastic draw and even burn. The ash lasted 2 th

Have to say that these are a gem of 'quick' smoke, how anyone could want anything out of a supermarket in comparison to these is beyond me.
Sure they aren't as deep in flavour as larger fuller gauge cigars but then that's not what they're about, these are for me a chance to have a smoke on a day-to-day evening when time or occasion does not permit a 'proper' cigar, but for the price and the quality (for a small cigar) I'm pretty amazed.
Smoked slowly 15mins, an easy 10mins and very little bitterness at the end.

Montecristo Puritos Cigar - Pack of 5
by Alexander
OK here goes. If you want an affordable everyday smoke, and are looking at these in preference to, say, the Hamlet range then 100% go for it, they are a great deal nicer. However, do not be under the illusion that these are on the same level as a handmade Monte, they simply aren't in terms of flavour or construction. Still, with that caveat, can heartily recommend these.

Montecristo No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Gavin
Purchased this for myself (alongside some Guantanameras) to smoke at my recent wedding. Was not disappointed, flavour was amazing, smoke was smooth. My only regret is that I could not take longer to enjoy (trying to spread myself around all guests was a task and a half). I will definitely be buying again. Though I am no aficionado on the subject, as a novice, this was the perfect cigar for me. Thank you CGars cannot wait to place another order with yourselves very soon.

Excellent easy draw, straight burn went very well. A glass of cognac and even finished with a glass of stella artois
