This cutter is functional, but nothing special - definitely representative of the price, but what can you expect for £2?
The blades are not very sharp, perhaps similar to my 10 year old well used penknife blade. I can press on them heavily with my thumb without any pain.
Mine came with what look like injection molding burrs on the body of the black plastic, these can be cut or sanded off in manufacturing easily, so this is a shame.
Also, there is a nick in the cutting edge of one of the blades. As far as I can tell is hasnt affected the sharpness or cutting ability of the cutter but again it is a shame that more care hasnt been taken in manufacturing.
The actuation of the cutter is surprisingly stiff, there is a remarkable amount of friction between the blades and the case. The blades do not move under gravity whatsoever, taking significantly more force than that to move.
There is no fault with CGars here, just the product itself. Their service was supreme.
Overall, Id only recommend this product if you cant spare the extra cash - just spend the extra money on a cutter that c

I am pufging one right now and all i can say is it is a pepper bomb. An extremely well made stogie. Pergect actually. But i dont normally go for the spicy ones. After the first 10 mins it does cool down to a leathery cedery note. A great alternative to bolivar. Much more pepoer though. I like it but not a daily smoke im afraid.

Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single
by James
Just smoked the second one of these. Too strong for me, with enough nicotine to stop a horse. I can see why others rave, though.

Pleasantly surprised, bought these because of all the good reviews, easy smoke, basic mild flavour, went down very well at a family party and lasted around 30 minutes. Two added bonuses are that they do not require a humidor or cutter, so good for keeping in the car.

Having read the tasting notes on these with promises of coffee, dark chocolate, nuttiness and wood this seemed to be right up my street.
Upon opening these were square shaped, machine rolled cigars. A lovely dark wrapper but a bit light on the pre light nose, no particular scent other than just a bit of tobacco, but this wasn't strong.
The burn was even and the ash held together well throughout the first third: however I can't comment on the final two thirds as I didn't get that far. This tasted harsh. Sadly I got a bit of earthiness but it was simply harsh tobacco. None of the promised flavours came through and I could feel it affecting my throat after the first third I decided not to persevere. OK, I'm aware that this wasn't ever going to compare to a high priced hand rolled cigar, and if I'm being honest I didn't believe that I would get all of the tastes promised. However I did expect it to be palatable and smokeable, but it wasn't.
This was a shame as I wanted to like these, but I simply had no desire to carry on or even try another. I gave the remaining 4 away so there
