Vegas Robaina Famosos Cigar - 1 Single by Patrick

This had great potential looked great from the outside, cut cleanly but a prelighting drawn immediately warned me how tight the cigar was. I can not say that I again disappointed at the quality control of Cuban cigars over those from the New World. I prefer Cubans but they are hit and miss and at the current prices that it is fair risk. When I did achieve a decent mouthful of smoke this cigar was great but so hard to smoke. Cuba needs to raise its game and become more consistent, the products are great BUT expensive and when you spend this sort of money perfection is not an unreasonable expectation, especially from an EMS cigar. Hunters & Frankau take note. I bought two Ramon Allones Specially Selected in St Tropez and they were excellent which begs the question as to whether the UK gets the best anymore.

Villiger Export Pressed Maduro Cigar - Pack of 5 (5 cigars) by Aaron

A pretty okay little smoke. The first half is a little bland, picking up to a nice chocolate flavour as you approach the last third, becoming a little more robust and chewy, which is great. Just a shame it takes a while to get there, but itÂ’s an easy smoke with a nice draw and a good even burn. Just be ready to pick bits out of your mouth though as itÂ’s a little loose in the top end. It does the job the money pays for though, so alls weÂ’ll that ends well.

Villiger Export Round Cigar - Pack of 5 (5 cigars) by Brandon

What a great cigar! Its very similar in size and price to the Henri Wintermans but I must say, this is a much nicer smoke. First of all, the cigar is a little bit bigger than the half corona, the flavour is absolutely exquisite and it lasts for a decent amount of time (between 25 minutes to half an hour Ive found before it becomes too hot and starts to fall apart). One of the most satisfying things about this cigar is the amount of smoke it gives off. Highly recommended

Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single by John

I’ve had a few of these sat around for around 5-6 months, so I decided to smoke one! Nice even burn upon lighting. First tasting notes (Pepper, Strong Coffee, rich intense cream) I paired this cigar with some Lindt Milk Chocolate after dinner along with a coffee. Half way through, consistent taste, stronger peppery notes coming through, less coffee, maintaining a creamy finish. Towards the end, Earthy, nutty flavouring with intense peppery notes, not too overpowering on the palette. This is a novice review and these are the flavours what I personally tasted throughout this short, enjoyable experience. Nice short smoke, enjoyable with a coffee especially, the chocolate have a hint of sweetness to the experience and is something I enjoyed!

Villiger Premium No. 7 Sumatra Cigar - Pack of 5 by Antonio

Even going out of my way to really take my time, this was an impressive little cigar for the price. Construction was good with no issues, ash held really well and the burn was excellent with no need to re-light. I found the smoke had a nice rich aroma and was smooth the whole way down to my fingers, it was a shame it had to finish. I went into it with an open mind without expecting too much, but seriously... good job Villiger!

Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single by Ian

Cheeky little number this one. Didnt find it overly strong but did enjoy the crisp nutty spice of it an a beautiful smooth smoke. The experience was a lot better than I expected for what is a budget cigar. Cant fault it, on my re-buy list for sure.
