Montecristo Petit No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
Unfortunately I spoiled my first experience with the Petit No. 2 due to a slip of the hand during lighting which incinerated the wrapper and led to burn problems, but I had 3 more and so onwards and upwards.
My second experience however was divine, the first third was actually the best part of the whole cigar with a lovely creamy, buttery and spicy taste. Past the 2nd third these flavours made way and I got rich flavours of wood and nuts but with a mellow smoothness about them, never overpowering. in the 3/3 the signature buttery flavour showed it's face again in combination with a balanced and no nonesense rich Cuban tobacco taste. Simply superb.
I wish I could smoke these every day but my bank would strongly disagree.

Cohiba Siglo I Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
Mine had a very tight draw and I didn't think much of the flavour either, really quite bland with not much going on, very narrow. I will purchase again as this could have been due to the tight draw and the fact that the cigar was very obviously overpacked, I thought Cohiba had some of the best quality control in the industry? Never mind, I have a Maduro 5 that will hopefully make up for it.
Definitely sample it, I have no doubt that one without these problems would be a great smoke, these things can happen with hand made products of course.

By no means a bad cigar, good construction, pleasant taste and cheap price. If on a budget I would recommend

Very happy customer. I asked for a box to contain all the cigars I ordered for my wedding reception - they picked out a lovely box that fits everything in and looks good. Fast delivery too!

I have always loved the Hoyo de Monterrey cigars, a smooth complex flavour, relatively mild and never harsh. I think I prefer the Epicure No.2 to the No.1 as to me it seems to be totally effortless in is presentation of its flavours. However, this cigar is a truly wonderful smoke, that gives a rich and creamy draw right to the end. The construction is superb and its draw is truly a pleasure. Burn was very even, with hints of spice and nut underpinned with a slightly sweet and possibly even fruit finish. I will definitely have a couple on hand in the humidor at all times, as this is a really wonderful smoke.

This cigar is extremely bitter and unpleasant. Holes throughout the filler and an uneven burn. Definitely would not buy again.
