After a year of not picking up a Cuban cigar I bought one of these in my new sampler which promptly arrived a day ago. Boy was this a good reintroduction to Cuban's. Pre light draw gave a slight sweetness with a mild(white) pepper notes. After a good toast and light the smoke gave off a light floral notes with the slight sweetness and light pepper to the front and mid palate. The 2nd and last 3rd also saw some salty notes with a mild sweetness some woody notes and sour/sharp citrus notes, and like the 1st third light pepper. Combustion was spot on, never died out and burn line was razor sharp. Even when the burn line went off slightly it easily self corrected. Total burn time was 1 hour and 10 mins. I do not rush my cigar's and this was just a joy to smoke from start to finish. Very smooth smoke right up to the nub. This little gem has made it on my list to repurchase later on this year. As with all my Cigar's this was put into a humidor holding 65% humidity. I have the bigger brother the Wide Churchill resting in my humidor, and if this one is anything to go buy I'am in for a real t

Fantastic honey and wood flavour from the off. Had this with a great glass of valpolicella and an 18 year old Longmorn. The smoke stayed tasty and without bitterness down until the last third. I wouldn't hesitate to order another five!

Excellent smoke this one. Feeling a tad sorry for myself due to an ongoing condition, I decided to smoke the last of a Robusto sampler I'd picked up from CGars. And boy, did this cigar do the trick.
Lashings of thick smoke had me blowing rings bigger than Saturns! There was ample body to the flavour with subtle hints of pepper and cinnamon. Due to not being able to drink alcohol (damn those tablets!) I paired this with a strong Kwonggi Mountain coffee which complimented it brilliantly. There was a nice balance of flavours going on with hints of chocolate and cream but nothing too overwhelming.
It did the trick, lightened my mood, and made me realise life ain't so bad after all!
And do you know what? I'm feeling a little better too. My quack will put it down to the tablets but I know what really helped - nurse, pass me another one of those R&J's, please!

I love this for a nice, easy going smoke. They aren't overly complex, but the flavours are subtle but satisfying. It remains sweet and creamy throughout the 20 or so mins it takes to smoke, with mild coffee and cocoa notes, an ideal morning cigar. I've also found the packs of 5 very useful for taking to weddings and other events where non smokers may be tempted by a cigar: Mild enough to be suitable for non smokers but not so mild that regular smokers would find them bland. A good, safe choice. -Calum, Turmeaus Chester

I love full bodied robustos, so it's no surprise that this a huge favourite for me! From the first touch of flame it gives off sweet and powerful cocoa flavours with occasional hints of aniseed. The second and final thirds remain sweet and smooth while developing leather and spice undertones. The aniseed notes from the first third remain prominent in the finish. If you also like powerful, heavy gauge cigars I'd strongly recommend trying one of these. They're particularly popular with fans of the classic Partagas Serie D No.4 who fancy a bit of a change. -Calum, Turmeuas Chester
