Burned unevenly. Hardly any smoke. Not great taste. Disappointed =[

Plastic Single Pipe Rest
by James
Rough cheap plastic but does the job well enough. Good for displaying your first few pipes

I am a new smoker and this provides a great smooth and mellow smoke, when I first smelt it out of the tin I wasn’t impressed as I’m not a fan of the plum/apricot like aroma however when smoking it, it became more woody but still sweet. Great for beginners and am happy with my first Peterson blend.

I got this in my July Sub Box.
Well, the wrapper was ugly. It looked like it was stitched together by Dr Frankenstein. It looked a little dry, but the feel to the touch felt like a cigar kept at 69% hm.
So, IÂ’m not a massive smoker of Cubans, so I was excited nonetheless to try it.
I gave this cigar a V cut.
The lighting was fine. The first draw seemed a little tight which panicked me to begin with. I thought the quality was going to be too dry to get a good draw.
After a tad more toasting, my mind settled when the draw became smoother (Not wind tunnel smooth, but just a nice even draw)
The flavour was a lovely oak and nutty taste.
The burn needed touched up but after a touch up I got 40 mins of even smoke and the ash was a darkish grey.
I in all got 1 hour by pacing this smoke.
The end really picked up and it was the best of all. It got spicy, stronger and it really picked up on flavour. Spicy oak which was amazing. As I continued into my last 10 mins, the burn became uneven and need a touch up but I didnÂ’t really care so much because I was enjoying the flavour so much.

For reasons I canÂ’t really explain even to myself, I decided to take up cigar smoking again after a long time. However, as I get older I have really decided that I wonÂ’t any longer make do with second best. So I buy decent coffee from a specialist roaster and donÂ’t smoke many cigars but those I do are good. Over the years I have also experienced plugged cigars from supposedly good manufacturers.
To cut a long story short I decided to buy a PerfecDraw after reading many reviews. I tried it on a small Davidoff Primeros which had an already acceptable draw but gave it a go for the sheer hell of playing with a new toy. It made a good draw into a Perfect Draw by pulling out a small tough piece of vein. Very well made and highly recommended bit of kit (if a bit expensive for what it is) which I am sure will prove invaluable on larger cigars.

Por Larranaga Petit Coronas Cigar - 1 Single
by Alexander
I received this cigar in my monthly subscription. IÂ’m not sure I would have ordered it for myself. However I am glad it was included: it lasted 30-45 minutes. I punched the cigar and the draw was perfect. It was smooth and sweet from the first light and maintained those notes well throughout. A little spice is present but itÂ’s gentle. I got notes of nuts, wood and occasional a little earth. I think the cigar is good value for money and it was very nice to have a sweeter - less grassy Cuban.
