This is the second one I've smoked as I had to see if the first one was a stick with the wrong band wrapped round, wow what a smoke this is great draw, tastes great burns well what a price really could mistake this for a premium Cuban! My only wish would be a sexier looking band.

Backwoods Purple Cigars - Pack of 5
by Nathan
I've tried many flavored cigar brands and these are by far the most sweetest. The honey & berry Backwoods are packed with flavor compared to their other varieties. Each draw leaves a sweet taste on the lips and maintains a consistent flavour throughout the burn. A smoke can last between 30-40 minutes and gives off a sweet tobacco pipe smell. Sometimes the draw is tough, but is easily overcome by giving the cigar an alround squeeze before lighting. Lastly, the old western look to these cigars make them extra special.

I first smoked this cigar at the Cuban festival some 5 years ago and brought back some boxes with me.While in Cuba I met David Savona (Cigar aficionado) who asked my opinion of it and I told him 'first class' He smiled and said he would check it out. It rated a 94 in later editions ! (No, he did not hire me !!)I am surprised that these are still around so pick some up at a very reasonable rate from C.Gars. Limited editions like this sometimes slip under the radar so don't miss out !!

I love the presentation of this new Inka or Inca as the name said, this brand is the USA version and Its nice to see them in the UK.
The wrapper of this cigar is very oily and well wrapped.
Same size as a Inka red or blue robusto, 4 7/8 x 50.
The has a very sweet and nutty scent.
At the beginning this cigars tastes exactly how it smells, lots of roasted nuts flavour and floral sweetness.
The cigar develops further and evolves into a lot of sweet notes in the smoke of vanilla and a tiny hint of white pepper on the palate.
The cigar finishes with a touch of spice on the palate with the creamy sweetness of the smoke.
The draw was perfect from the beginning onward but the ash dropped just outside of the ashtray on the second part T.T
This is great value and a great mild to medium strength cigar for 45 minutes of enjoyment.
Perfect with a sweet expresso, Havana Club Maestros rum or Stalla Dhu Speyside whisky.
Exclusive for Turmeaus. Just 5000 sticks available!!!. – David. Turmeaus Est. 1817 Cigars and Whisky Liverpool.

This is a most useful attachment for the large 'walk in size' Cigar Oasis humidor. Once set up (a bit fiddly but easy enough) you can completely monitor your cigars from anywhere just by looking at your mobile phone appt. I have found the unit to be very accurate and it certainly saves having to check water levels as you can simply look to see if more water is required.
I have found that there is a slight downside as if your Wi-Fi gets disconnected then the unit does not 'pick up from where you left off' and you have to input all the details of your internet connection again which while being simple, can be a hassle if this happens a few times per week.
Other than this , the unit is very useful and a worthwhile addition as, if you have spent a great deal on a large humidification unit and cigars then the cost of this very useful module is very worthwhile .

Really nice short robusto. Smoked beautifully and I enjoyed the strength and toastiness of this well made cigar. The smoking experience was curtailed unfortunately by the wrapper flaking a mid ships. The wrapper is thin and of fine quality giving a lovely burn but perhaps the cigar had dried a little at some point. It was a shame as I was really enjoying it. A lovely smoke though.
