Really not impressed, used a small punch to cut this and still the cap fell off, the wrapper then followed. The draw was incredibly tight and the taste was stale. I know this is a cheap cigar and yeah there are bound to be some issues but this falls flat on every aspect of what makes a cigar. Ill stick with oliva or lfd for my daily smoke. Just regret that I bought 5 of these.

Romeo y Julieta No. 3 Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
I have now completed the full range of RYJ. Good medium cigar, quite smooth, very mild tang and not too peppery to the nose on the retro - hale. Good cigar for someone getting into the RYJ range if you dont want to spend too much. If youre not bothered, go get a Churchill!

Punch Coronations Tubed Cigar - 1 Single

Have been smoking these for almost 20yrs and was my first cigar. Smooth, peppery and slightly sweet with an oily peanut taste. I would recommend this cigar to anyone.

Cohiba Siglo II Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
My first of the Cohiba range. Wasnt too impressed but wasnt a total let down either. Started off mild, smooth, creamy but also very sweet. A third of the way in, I could taste nuts and I was hit with a pepper bomb in my mouth which was almost unbearable but as quick as it happened, it was gone and soon mellowed out again. Either that or my taste buds died? At the end of it I was left with the taste of how the pages of an old library book smell... If youve ever wanted to eat that smell, this is the cigar for you! Not a bad cigar but not a great one either. I really dont think its worth the money. Youll definitely be paying more for the label than you will the cigar.

Montecristo Open J Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
This cigar was very tight to draw and left a very bitter taste on the lips and in the mouth. For me it was tangy and very metallic in the mouth and had a light ammonia smell to it. I had to give up a third of the way through as it began to taste of ash, (likely due to the tight draw). This was my first experience of the Montecristo range. I will not be venturing further.

If you were to judge these on appearance alone you would be forgiven for thinking budget smoke with little to offer. The wrapper is rough and rugged, the 5 pack that I ordered was full of wrapper imperfections but the cigar felt like it had a substantial and even packing. The dry draw was surprisingly loose, maybe even too loose; The handful of Cubans Ive tried thus far have had quite snug draws so I had to exercise a bit of self control while puffing away on this stick. Flavours were a balanced mixture of grass, earth and wood with the smoke leaving a slightly oily finish in my mouth. A hint of spice slowly built up from around the half way point, but just like all the other flavours remained mild and light.
Considering the low price relative to other Cubans of a similar vitola, its very difficult to find anything to criticise. This cigar is very similar to the Monte no. 4 and while the flavours are not as full bodied or rich, it is significantly cheaper, almost £100 saved when comparing a bundle of 25 to a box of Montes.
