These brilliant cigars are my go to cold weather smoke for the terrace of my club. A good, robust taste, good enough value to offer a box around and short enough as to be smoked and back inside before your fingers get blue. Excellent.
This is a really good English mixture, I've had a few similar to black Mallory, but this is the smoothest one of them all, a very nice all day tobacco, I've bought a few tins of this, it's a firm favourite.
I derived no enjoyment from this offering. Hard to draw and not much smoke. Moderately even burn. I found the flavour harsh and without nuance. It went out halfway down. There are plenty of better alternatives for less money. Proof that Cuban isn't always better. Not recommended.
As the others reviewed... not a good smoke... burns evenly but it is harsh and bitter and there is no flavour to it at all. The size was perfect for a lunch break but you really do struggle to get rid of the stench of 'campfire smoke' off everything. Wasn't expecting much for the price but still I won't be rushing to get another.
Bought some from local BM and they are a new favourite for a short lovely smoke. Sweet toffee/vanillas in 1st 3rd, makes way for a more latte creamy coffee in 2nd 3rd, developed a slightly spicy edge in the final 3rd and was a real lip burner. Construction was good and very consistent over the cigars i bought. Highly recommend for a beginner or a cheaper every day smoke to fill out your humidor.
