Camacho Corojo Machitos Cigar - 1 Single
by Andrew
Too harsh for me. Getting into cigars having been a pipe smoker for 8 years or so. Tried this as part of a sampler of the three Camachos (red, yellow, and orange). This one was too strong, too much of a kick, I felt the flavour wasnt allowed to get through the strength. I preferred the yellow but that was still a little too strong. The yellow was perfect from the first puff and I didnt want to put it down. Perhaps this one wasnt the best way to start on cigars, though Im not a total novice, I just prefer a milder smoke.

Very nice. Ive been a pipe smoker for around 8 years and am looking at getting into pipes as well. Bought the camacho selection (red, yellow, and orange) and had this one last. I found the red label too strong; the yellow had a lot of flavour but still a little too strong; this one is perfect for me. I wondered if Id notice the difference and I did from the first puff. Nice sweet flavour, very slight nicotine hit but I didnt want to put it down. Im going to try the full version to see how it compares. Will definitely be buying this more often and would happily have it as my weekly cigar smoke (every day if I could afford it).

H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single
by Angelos
Hi! Smoked around 5 of these in total and can say that they are great flavoured and very nicely priced, but they have a significant drawback - 4/5 of them were almost unsmokable and were super tight on the draw, felt like i was blowing baloons for a childs birthday for half an hour, not smoking a cigar.

After visiting the Yarmouth branch asking for large ring gauge cigars...
What a little gem! For the price you really can’t argue with this cigar. Even burn all the way through, started off really smooth, subtle flavours of coffee. Further into the cigar, well... what a surprise! Half way through and all of the flavour came out!
All in all a good 1-1:30 hours smoke. I WILL definitely be buying these again!

I have probably smoked over a hundred of these and have experimented at storing them at different humidity levels. I find At 70 they are rubbish and tasteless at 65 it turns into a different cigar all together 65 brings out all the flavours. I have found them a good mid morning cigar, very consistent well constructed and I have found them to burn evenly but Im very experienced and careful with lighting a cigar. I use the heat from a jet flame lighter about half inch away from the flame I do not put the flame near the cigar until the cigar is ready to go.

You never know with a new order, so this was trading on reputation. However it is a winner, with a steady smoke, lasting almost an hour if smoked in a relaxing manner (is here any other?). Plenty of taste, well behaved and even-burning - keep it from getting too hot by being gentle, and the return is fragrant smoke, a gentle pull and a burn until your fingers are threatened. To get right down to a tiny butt is a compliment to structure and design. Take care when snipping to start - just the end bit. Packing is quite tight, but snip too much and the wrapper is at risk of unravelling. This is quite the best value and most relaxingly enjoyable smoke Ive had from Turmeaux. Its worth sitting the entire smoke to enjoy this consistent and well made product. Splendid.
