Plasencia Reserva Original Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Christopher
With a slight oily wrapper and delicious vanilla hit on the cold draw, this cigar had promises of luxurious and complex flavours. I found this not to be the case, with the first third being overwhelmed by strong black pepper and leather, and the whole cigar having a generic woodiness that only really developed into a slight cedar note towards the very end. I had two very brief hints of coffee in the final third and I couldnt detect any of the sweetness or vanilla hints I got on the cold draw at all. What it did have in abundance was a consistent smooth smoke that was quite luxurious and the construction and burn was impeccable only requiring a one touch up to realign where the band had been (I have a theory that these huge bands are causing distortion due to imperfect humidification). Overall I wasnt disappointed by this cigar, I suppose I was just expecting a bit more in the way of flavour complexity and this was a bit two dimensional. If you enjoy a very strong wood flavour in your smoke you should give this one a try, it might be what you are looking for.

Very impressed by what I experienced and love the box-pressed shape.. This cigar had a great draw and burnt pretty evenly.
In the first 3rd I got some of the classic tobacco notes mostly, along with some hay and pepper in the background, which took me into the middle 3rd where the pepper notes became slightly stronger (but not overpowering), and followed by some earth. In the final 3rd the middle 3rds notes carried along but I also seemed to pick up some raisin notes which was pretty pleasant.
For the price you cant really go wrong with these!

First two draws a little sharp followed by some nuttiness After that the smoke became very smooth. Would recommend.

Punch Coronations Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Andrew
Slowly working my way through a box of these (box date MAR 13) this is cigar No. 11 and is the first one that started with a firm/tight draw they have never been a full flavor but with a little age on them they are supper smooth. There is still plenty of interest here.

Havent smoked one yet, but just to point out to potential buyers that these are not 4 1/2 inches long. Disappointing description by Cigars!

Por Larranaga Galanes Cigar - 1 Single
by Harold
My daughter bought me one (and a few other brands) for Christmas. I kept this one in my humidor as a special smoke for New Years Eve and I was dismayed from the start. To begin with it would not draw. The initial cap clip was very hard indicating a very poor make that produced a tight block. Despite a probe up inside the barrel it still would not draw so I tried feeling how far up the barrel the hard block reached. Too far. I used my cutter again and cut up to what I thought was going to improve the draw. Not very far. I wanted some cigar left to smoke. Still no draw. I cut more and it began to draw. Then I discovered the flavour was almost tasteless. It did not improve at all, leaving me very annoyed. It spoilt my New Years evening. I guess I got a bad one But for that price there should not be a bad one in the box.
