I bought this cigar purely on the shape, and thought I would give it a go. Fortune favours the brave:) I really enjoyed it. Definitely medium in Strength, but not strong. The draw was a little tight but not enough to spoil the smoke. I will be buying more.

After purchasing this cigar some time ago, it aged in my humidor for 18 months. I decided to give it a smoke during the nice summer months.
Tastes in stages: In the first third the taste is mainly of dark cocoa and black pepper. It is incredibly flavoursome, but also very smooth: no bitterness at all. In the second third the dark cocoa is enhanced with a blast of dark coffee along with a good hint of black pepper. The final third consisted of coffee and leathery notes, the cocoa was much milder but the coffee notes were now joined by a leathery taste along with tge ever present black pepper.
The cigar was incredibly smooth from first to last puff, despite the small size the cigar lasted for 1 hour 20 minutes. The burn was even throughout, no touchups required. Certainly one for those that enjoy bolder flavours, overall a fantastic smoke that I highly recommend.

I’m happy to admit that I’m not normally one to smoke anything apart from Cubans. That’s mainly because every non Cuban Has without question been pretty terrible. Even with my pallet developing and some ageing they all burn harsh and taste pretty terrible. This one however bucks that trend. The gauge probably helps but it’s a smooth sweet, creamy chocolate and vanilla from start to finish. Great cigar.

Nikka from the Barrel - 50cl 51.4%

A very interesting whisky from one of the best New-World whisky brands. Its strong, but not "blow your head off" strong, I certainly wouldnt guess over 50%! Primarily sweet, fruity and floral flavours, with a long salted caramel finish with a touch of vanilla. A drop of water will open this right up to something truly magnificent. Dont tell anyone the price though, as theyll be sure you paid over double!

At just over an hours worth of smoking, this cigar was a nice experience. My first note was the nice smell of logs burning on an open fire. I got tastes of dark roasted coffee and dark chocolate. As a 1 or 2 cigars a month smoker, the nicotine hit me a little bit on this one towards the end so I would advise anyone new to it takes it easy on these. This cigar burned excellently and I will definitely be re-visiting them soon.
