Tsubota Pearl - Bolbo Pipe Lighter - Silver Satin by Anthony

Purchased this lighter 4 years from C.Gars, I was very pleased with it until recently - the flame adjuster stopped working properly and wouldn't make the flame bigger. Turns out this is a common issue with all of these styles of pipe lighters - gas residue build up etc. Unfortunately there isn't anyone in the UK who is able to repair Tsubota lighters. So unless I travel to Japan to have it repaired it looks like I'm going to have to purchase an IM Corona.

Turmeaus 1817 Blend Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin by Joshua

This tobacco has a warm smokey aroma before it is even lit. The smoke is extremely smooth with a mellow strength. I got hints of liquorish. A very pleasant smoke. I'll be sampling a few more tobaccos to find my daily smoke but this is definitely a contender.

The Perfect Peruvian Sampler - 3 Cigars by David

Another lovely bundle especially the mitchellero Peru which was my favourite I’d give that 5/5. The Regius was also a nice smoke at 4/5 and also the Inka secret blend red was also pleasant another 4/5. Thanks once again C Gars.

Trinidad Fundadores Cigar - Cabinet of 24 by Xiaohan

This cigar offers a rich blend of cedar, earth, coffee and intense spices. The first puff reveals flavors of leather and black coffee, mingled with some herbal notes, along with a background of sweet biscuits and fruits. As it progresses, earthy, woody and grassy flavors emerge. In the first third, coffee beans and chocolate can be tasted; in the middle section, each draw releases a honey-like sweetness and floral notes, with the intensity gradually easing, not as strong as the beginning. This makes the taste more subtle and complex. Different aromas and flavors intermingle, making it hard to resist. Milk, nuts, cedar, leather, and herbal flavors alternate, along with oats, vanilla, caramel, coffee and a generous amount of black pepper. In the final third, the cigar's strength returns, with earth, leather, black coffee, oak, honey flavors dominating, along with a hint of saltiness and a stronger spiciness. The entire smoking experience lasts 60 to 90 minutes.

Trinidad Coloniales Cigar - 1 Single by Rodney

This is a stunning cigar. Perfect balance of flavour - not too strong, not too light. Enjoyed it with a fine Canarian sipping rum. Perfect draw and such a well done rounded cedary flavour. Bought as part of a Trinidad sampler. Will be having more of these beauties! Beautifully presented by C Gars as always,
