Tighter than a midges foreskin. Stevie Wonder could have seen that this was unsmokeable. Getting fed up with Cubans most are no better than a good new world( padron , Fuentes, brick house...,.) Waste of £12.50 not happy

I am pufging one right now and all i can say is it is a pepper bomb. An extremely well made stogie. Pergect actually. But i dont normally go for the spicy ones. After the first 10 mins it does cool down to a leathery cedery note. A great alternative to bolivar. Much more pepoer though. I like it but not a daily smoke im afraid.

Somebody kindly posted a message to me on this forum that Samuel Gawith flakes are always very moist and should be dried out before attempting to smoke them. With that in mind I took out a couple of flakes, rubbed them down to something that I thought resembled rubbed tobacco and then left them to dry for 3 hours and certainly appeared to be less moist. The dry notes of this tobacco are a very strong scent of alcohol (I dont believe this scent is near the sweetness of rum, closer to a whisky scent) and a strange, almost plastic note in there which threw me a bit. The tobacco notes were strong, I believe this may be Latakia as it is quite a bot stronger and bolder than the other tobaccos that Ive tried.
I put it in my Peterson straight pipe (with a filter) and, after a bit of difficulty on the initial light, eventually got the pipe going. The tobacco smoked really well after the initial lighting stages, although it did go out on me unexpectedly once (two thirds of the way down) and again at the end.
The smoke was quite strong, but certainly was more to my liking given my prefer

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.
