H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
Very enjoyable. I smoked this while reading a book and it was a perfect compliment to such. Perfect draw, just a little resistance as you'd like and a great burn. The Majestic is very flavourful but isn't particularly complex, however you don't always want that, with a box of these you'd know what to expect. In the first third it was quite mild with a nutty, woody taste. In the second third it built upon these flavours and became slightly more rich with leathery notes appearing and a little sweetness; in the final third this rich leather and woodiness was even more pronounced with coffee flavours becoming noticeable. In the final couple of inches I did notice a little bitterness but I put this down to the cigar being young. Overall, a fantastic smoke for the price and is one I will definitely be returning to.

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

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

CLE Asylum 13 Goliath Cigar - 1 Single
by Daniel
Love the huge size. It’s lasts a long time and smokes great. Really nice flavours. I also found it hard to get started but once going smoked very well.
