Davidoff Winston Churchill Statesman Robusto - 1 Single by Austin

Had one of these resting in the humidor since October and finally smoked it. Very nice cigar. Rich dark woody flavour with cream and cocoa, black pepper and a little nutmeg spice. Not much in the way of evolution through the cigar, other than a little sour vegetal hint in the last third, and the flavour overall had a touch of dryness about it, but still quite enjoyable. Construction was good with a great, slow burn but the draw was very loose, helping it to burn hot in the last 2 inches, which was a shame.

Cohiba Maduro 5 Secretos Cigar - 1 Single by Stephen

Inch for inch, this was the priciest smoke in my humidor and I had been very much looking forward to it. What a disappointment! First, the draw was so tight I was struggling to get much through it. I rolled it around and got it loosened up a bit, but it never quite produced the easy draw and large volumes of smoke I was anticipating. Next, it wouldn’t hold its ash, and it wouldn’t stay lit. I had to relight it three times and after it went out a fourth time I lost the will to try again, with still about an inch to go. Looking at the other reviews, perhaps I was unlucky with the construction of this one. However, overall, this was a very disappointing smoke. I did occasionally encounter the Cohiba flavours I had been looking forward to, but it fell well short of my expectations and I will have to think hard about whether to invest this much again in another one any time soon.

Brick House Teaser Cigar - 1 Single by Anthony

Very good draw, but the first half of this cigar was a bit harsh. Seeing a strong looking white ash grow I persevered and was rewarded with a lovely unique tasting cigar developing that was very moorish and had a nice little kick to it. I am definitely going to get another one believing that I was unlucky with the first half of this one. It was a pleasure to smoke this interesting enjoyable cigar.

Davidoff Nicaragua Short Corona Cello Cigar - 1 Single (Discontinued) by Anthony

What a lovely cigar, the flavours developed just as described by cgars and improved as it burnt down. If you keep on top of things and touch up when needed, youll be rewarded with a sublime smoke down to the nub. Seems to me that you cant go wrong with a davidoff, if only the top cuban brands would invest more in much needed quality control.

Cohiba Behike BHK 54 Cigar - 1 Single by Austin

Unfortunately its not possible to review these cigars while completely ignoring the enormous price mark-up. They can be fantastic cigars, lovely subtle, complex flavours and beautifully rolled.. but the quality and enjoyment is just not in proportion to the huge price. A lot of it is just clever marketing to wealthy cigar smokers with more money than sense. Equally great and even better quality Havana cigars can be found for a small fraction of the price of these. These cigars, at most, should be half the price.

Cohiba Behike BHK 52 Cigar - 1 Single by Austin

A very good, delicious cigar yes.. but just not worth the enormous price. There are many other Havana cigars that can be just as good in their own ways (if you select from a good box) for a third or even a quarter of the price of one of these. As good as the Behikes can be they just arent amazing enough to be worth smoking £80-£90 per cigar. Half of it is just clever marketing to very wealthy cigar smokers with more money than sense.
