Turmeaus 1817 Blend Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin by MARTIN

The tobacco is very nice and I was going to order some more tins but since May 2017 it has gone up by nearly £7 !!! So will give it a miss as it's not nice.

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Andy

I love these little cigars!....there are better cigars out there but for a half corona that costs 8 quid, they are really very good! It was the comments mentioning "creamy, smooth leather & hints of coffee and/or chocolate" that first made me prick up my ears and subsequently had this old dog wagging it's tail! Lovely relaxing, trouble free smoke that's sure to last most a good 30-40 minutes depending on individual cadence. Do yourself a favour and pull the trigger on 2 or 3, chuck them in the humidor for a few weeks to settle and break one out at a suitable time of your choosing.

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial Cigar - 1 Single by Judah

I bought one of these for a lunchtime smoke. It had been recommended to me by a friend who assured me I'd get through it in about 30-45 minutes. It took me just over 40 minutes to get down to the last inch, If I'd smoked a little more slowly, I think I'd have got nearly an hour out of it. I can honestly say that this really was creamy and went perfectly with an extra strong cappuccino. It got creamier in the 2nd third and then became a bit more sharp in the last third. In my opinion, they go great with a nice cup of coffee. I smoked it outside in a park and the ash held until it was about 1 1/2 inches. I'm definitely getting more of these.

King Edward Imperial Cigars - Pack of 5 by Kevin

As we know these cigars are machine made. One of the issues I've found over many years of buying them, is occasionally you'll find a bad cigar in a batch. I've noticed this particularly with boxes of 50, but even some packets of five. Some are potholed with tiny holes by the machine, making them useless unless you can cut them down, but some have holes throughout the length of the cigar, meaning it has to be binned. Other than that, it's a very mild smoke and I'll continue to buy them here and overseas.

Davidoff Yamasa Petit Churchill Cigar - 1 Single by Staff

Davidoff needed 20 years to create the lovely wrappers and binders from the Yamasa region to achieve the dream of Master blender Henke. Everyone told Henke and Davidoff that is impossible to cultivate tobacco in this area but they did.

Yamasa region is a lovely area to cultivate tobacco. Swampy, humid and drenched with regular, heavy rainfall, the soil in the region has a low pH count, but is rich in minerals. These minerals, or micro-nutrients, include boron, iron and zinc, and play an essential role in contributing to the quality of the tobacco leaf.The climate is very similar to the Cuban climate, and therefore hugely beneficial to the growing of tobacco, the Dominican Republic is primarily tropical. There are, of course, local variations in temperature and rainfall but in general, highs of 104°F are common in protected valleys, as are lows of zero in mountainous areas.

This is not the first time that Davidoff used Yamasa Wrapper and binder. They created the Puro D’ Oro range which won awards in 2012. Composed of 100% Dominican tobacco which was the Dream of
