Por Larranaga Picadores Cigar - 1 Single
by Austin
These cigars have really improved with a little age, becoming more complex and balanced. Opening on the mild side for a Havana, the first third was predominantly lovely soft woody flavours with a slight pepper through the nose and a little cream building up, rather like a good El Rey del Mundo. Into the second third the flavours really opened up displaying some of that Por Larrañaga caramel sweetness and hints of citrus fruit, becoming more creamy and certainly a solid medium body. The final third still retained all those flavours but had a little more gentle exotic spice and strength, though started becoming hot by the last inch, which should soften out with a bit more age and there still seems to be a fair bit of room for the subtleties to come out more in a few years. The appearance and construction were excellent with a razor straight burn, wonderful easy draw with just a gentle resistance and a solid ash that held on for an inch or so at a time.

Partagas Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by James
Superb. Fullness and quality, without any harshness in a small package. I thought Partagas would be too strong for me. I was wrong.

The draw was OK but the burn was uneven. To me this cigar was most un-Cuban like. It was mild and reminded me of Inka Secret Blend or Chinchalero perla but with a much much bigger price tag. I cannot recommend this cigar at all.

Beautiful cigar. Quite strong hit of nicotine at the end, which surprised me but enjoyable. Definitely more for a celebration than a daily or weekly smoke.
Will be getting another two for the humidor.

Nice every day tobacco, lovely aroma and taste, burns quite fast straight out of the tin but is still a smashing smoke

The Aran pipe is a fantastic little pipe and great value for money, I have three of these, the 05, 268 and XL90. The grain is really nice and they smoke great too. Overall the Arans are good pipes and definitely one I'd suggest buying, as they are an affordable pipe and a good classic pipe which can be passed on down the years.
