Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Chris
Im relatively new to smoking cigars so keep that in mind when reading this review. I purchased a box of 5 and my first impression was that these cigars smell fantastic, very rich and chocolately. As for the construction the wrappers on at least 2 of the 5 are wrinkled in places and look like they could easily tear and seams are quite visible, the binder/filler look fine however all 5 cigars feel very firm, almost rock solid. The draw is incredibly tight and I found myself having to really fight to get a decent smoke output, which for me takes away from the experience. As a cigar newbie I found the flavours to be very pleasing to begin with, earthy and woody with hints of spice that become more prominent on the retrohale however the spice was never overwhelming and the smoke was silky smooth. Unfortunately I hit serious problems about half way into the cigar, the draw remained very tight and I had to relight twice in 10 minutes! When it went out for a 3rd time I admitted defeat and gave up. The 4 remaining cigars will go in my humidor to be aged, I really hope I have a better experien

Had this as part of the Jack Frost Sampler. I’m new to cigars but so far I find you can’t go too wrong with a Montecristo. The draw on this one, however, was a bit tough but it did become easier and I was rewarded with more defined flavours later in the smoke. Though enjoyable, this won’t be my go-to cigar as overall it was mostly mild, the cigar equivalent of a Latté, if you will.

Bolivar Tubos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Ruben
Novice smoker (Sampled H.Upmann, Montecristo, RyJ and J.L.P cigars) this one is a marvellous little smoke, you won’t be disappointed. Spicy and zesty with excellent draw and a clean after taste. I can’t delve into all the complex flavours as I’m quite new to Cubans but I found this one very pleasing and typical of the Cubans I tried in Miami. Very authentic, earthy flavour to be expected from this brand. Lasted just shy of 40 mins, with modest toking. Will sample more Bolivar, for sure.

I’m a cigar novice so take what I say with a pinch of salt... A lot of Cuban for a very reasonable price! I got close to an hour smoke from this one so, value wise, this is an awesome cigar. And the flavours of young tobacco and wood are definitely there. However I didn’t begin to really enjoy this cigar until the final third. The draw was quite poor until half way down. The Cuban flavours are there but it doesn’t really develop until half way down, at which point it turns spicy. I would buy a smaller vitola next time but I think I’m more inclined to sample some new world cigars first. I’d recommend forking out a little more for a Montecristo or RyJ if you’re after a more rounded, complex Cuban flavour. Pleasant smoke overall, though.

Really peppery, and overall nasty. Nose was on fire just lighting it. I would not recommend. That being said, though I didnt like it very much, I gave it to my friend who loved it.
