Flor De Oliva Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Stuart
The Flor De Oliva Robusto might not be the premium end of what Oliva produce, but it still makes for a very enjoyable smoke. I had mine straight out of a 65% humidor, and the draw was a little tight at first, a quick go with the cigar drill sorted that, and after that it was spot on. It lasted me about an hour, and what I liked most was how the flavour shifted every third, giving me something a bit different as I went along.
For the price point, it’s hard to complain. It doesn’t pretend to be a luxury stick, but it delivers a solid, relaxing smoke that feels like good value for money. Definitely one I’ll pick up again when I want an honest, satisfying cigar without spending a fortune.

Cohiba Wide Short Cigar - Pack of 6
by Barry
Short fill and machine made, so nothing like a regular Cohiba.....also nowhere near the price of a Cohiba, yet has that distinctive and unmistakable Cohiba flavour. Incredibly smooth and full bodied with noticeable strength, some smooth nutty coffee upfront alongside leather and black pepper. Excellent burn, no corrections, no relights, massive amounts of thick, white smoke, remarkably cool even to the nub. Fair bit of loose tobacco in the mouth as you get near the end; however, for the price and flavour...this is really quite good.

A lovely mild any time of the day smoke. Burnt well although ash was prone to falling. I like this with a good coffee in the morning and would recommend.
Burn time is around an hour and have added them to my favourites

Sampled this cigar on 02.10.25 at the Cgars Event in Norfolk. This was a wonderful cigar with lots of flavours, good construction and easy draw..
Lots of tasting notes especially when paired with a Balenie Carribean cask whisky. A nice light smooth whisky brings out the rich sweet toffee and caramel flavours and notes.
Towards the end, one is met with a richer full bodied taste. Certainly one of the best I have tried from the Plasencia range. My only criticism was it didnt last long enough! (Ha Ha)
A wonderful cigar experience at a good price. Definitely one to have in the humidor as a regular go to. 10/10.
Thanks Billy and Josh for another great night. ;)

I received this as part of my subscription. However, I did not have a good experience with this cigar, I had to relight several times and the draw seemed very tight. I tried a recut half way through but this did little to improve the experience. The subscription is a great way to try cigars that you would not normally try and this is one of those cigars, this one will not make my reorder list.

The Drew Estate Acid Krush Classic Red Cameroon is a small cigar with a big personality. It’s packed with a sweet, aromatic flavour that makes every puff enjoyable, and despite its size it lasts a good 20 minutes. The draw is smooth, the smoke is plentiful, and the taste lingers in the best way.
For me, it’s one of those little cigars that punches well above its weight. Perfect for when you don’t have loads of time but still want something full of character. I rate this one a straight 10/10, really, really nice and one I’ll keep coming back to, well for as long as i can get my hands ok them if they are discontinued i may need to stock up fast.
