Can’t believe these haven’t had a review yet, the construction on these is fantastic every time, really nice oil sheen to the wrapper. They have a strong ammonia type smell to them when left in the humidor. Once lit the flavour is full. Strong flavours. A nice spice and pepper dark woody notes. Bloody lovely! Buy

Jose L Piedra Cazadores Cigars - Pack of 5
by Dominic
Iv smoked many Cubans and non Cubans for 15 years now and I always find myself coming back to these. The flavours and enjoyment you get from these are up there with the best of them in my opinion. Originally I was put off by the price thinking "How can a Cuban be this cheap with that ring gauge and length and be any good?"... But after I tried them my mindset completely changed. These Cubans are on par if not better than alot of the medium to strong Cubans on the market in my opinion. The flavour is a lovely earthy taste and hints of spice towards the later third of the cigar. I must have smoked these on and off for the past 7-8 years and still cant understand as to why these are so cheap. I highly recommend giving these a go and believe you wont be able to find a better Cuban for the price.

A bit coarse at times, but not a bad little smoke.

Chinchalero Novillo Torpedo Cigar - 1 Single
by Anthony
Took forever to light this one up and had to keep puffing on it to keep it alight which gave it a horrible bitter taste and uneven burn for the first inch, but maybe it was over-humidified from my new mostly empty humidor. So I blew through it to clear the nicotine build up, ( it looked like dirty exhaust fumes!) then smoked it slowly to let it cool, then it began to open up slowly with a very nice just like a cigar should taste like flavour, and aroma. The final third got even better! But not as balanced as the excellent Novillo fuerte maduro.

Recommended to me by David at Turmeau’s Liverpool to celebrate the birth of my first child, this is hands down the best cigar I have ever smoked. I was back in the shop within days to pick up some more. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I'm just getting into pipes and this is only the second pipe tobacco that I've tried. I bought a range to see the style that I would like and this was the only aromatic that was in my order. The scent is very strong; the cherry and vanilla pack an absolute punch to the nostrils, they are certainly not subtle. It is reminiscent in fragrance to a Bakewell Tart. Upon lighting up these continue through to the taste, they are certainly pretty flavoursome in the mouth with the vanilla becoming a bit more dominant and the cherry, whilst still there, taking a back seat. As Callum said in his review, this is sweet, very sweet indeed. The closest thing that I could compare it to in terms of cigars was an American stick that I was given as a present a few years ago that had honey flavoured tobacco. If I'm being honest it became a bit sickly and I was looking forward to it finishing. However I also made a major mistake as towards the end; I realised that my puffing may have been a bit on the quick side and it gave quite a bit of bight in the back of the throat, which surprised me given how sweet
