Im no expert but here is my take...
This is acceptable for the price. You get a heffer of a cigar. Prior to smoking this i kept it in a humidor (out of the tube) for over 2 months at 72%RH.
It burned quite slowly but smoke was mediocre and the draw was a little tight. The flavour was neither too bland or too over powering. I felt like I was smoking a £12 cigar.
I normally never do this but I took the ciagr band off (this weakens the wrapper if taken off to early) it started to unravel and burn very unevenly after a third of the way through. I tried to re cut it to give it a second chance but this did nothing.
I looks nice, tastes okay, burns slow and has a tight draw. And its also pretty. But please for the love of all things cigars dont maky my mistake. Only take the band off when the burn line is about a half inch away from the band.

Nice smooth, well burning cigar with plenty of smoke, no harshness and some spice once you get in to it. Not a massive fan of the chocolate flavour but would definitely try the others. Im a to the fingers smoker to get my moneys worth! Had to leave a good 2 inches, otherwise the filler becomes incredibly loose ( more so than other short filler cigars Ive had ) and its like french kissing a tea bag. I preferred the Leon Jimenes Petit Coronas compared to this but for the price its a great smoke. Marking it down slightly for the two inches lost! :)

Stalla Dhu Speyside - 70cl 40%

I had this when I visited Turmeaus in Chester last week. It was paired with a Romeo Y Julieta Churchill and they were a perfect couple!
The best way I can describe this is SMOOTH! There is no taste of alcohol which leaves your palate free to taste all the woody/caramel flavours it has to offer.

Now this was an interesting and different smoke. The taste is dark, a little more acidic to my palate, and almost savoury-tasting. I agree with the general description that there are hints of leather, also dark bitter chocolate and slight peppery notes. Similar to a coffee-infused Tabac Especiale I tried from Nicaragua. If you’re interested in branching out from just Cuban cigars and you want a good strength and shortish smoke, give these a try.
