Quite moist with a sweet taste. Smokes well full of flavour all the way to the bottom of the bowl.

I love the SG 1872 Flake and when I saw that this was the plug version I was keen to try it out. Out of the bag it has an incredibly strong smell of alcohol, it really does punch the nostrils with a full fist, so I was looking forward to this coming through in the taste. I cut some into cubes, allowed them to dry for three hours and then filled a bowl. Sadly there was no flavour of alcohol at all in the smoke, there was not a lot of flavour at all. The strong, rich, full bodied tobacco taste that was so prevalent in the 1872 Flake was toned down. There was quite a strong peppery flavour, Ill assume its perique and the slightly sweet note of vanilla that was in the back end of the 1872 Flake was also missing. It wasnt flat out awful, it simply made for a rather boring smoke. There was no tongue bite at all with this and it was certainly a very slow burning tobacco, I only sampled a small amount, about a third of a bowl, and this burned for 30 minutes. Given I sampled an explosion of flavours with the SG Cannon Plug the previous day, this one sadly left me extremely disappointed.

San Cristobal La Punta Cigar - 1 Single
by Austin
Delicious after a light lunch. I hadnt tried a La Punta for years, so sampled one at Turmeaus lounge. Well aged and covered in bloom over its light and slightly rustic wrapper. The draw was easy with just a little resistance, but the smoke remained cool and delicious with a good burn. The first half was light-medium bodied and built up slightly in flavour also, with beautifully balanced waves of light roasted coffee, honey, toasted almond and soft pepper spice. The second half became much more medium bodied developing an oaky woodiness, dry grass and herbal notes with a small burst of spice at the end. Smoked it to my fingertips. Often overlooked, but these can be excellent and age beautifully.

A very smart piece of luxury. Really well built with a very classy look and powerful jet.

San Cristobal El Principe Cigar - 1 Single
by Andreas
I was reluctant to write a review, as a novice. Yet, this little one makes it easy. Good, clear draw throughout, medium yet embodied taste, quality wrap; a very nice 30-40 minute smoke, right to the end. Taste varies towards the end, more earthy and ash, still enjoyed it.

A mild & very good short smoke with a very big, creamy, & satisfying draw. the taste is a mild & pleasant coffee taste.
Fantastic mini cigars for the price.
