Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios Cigar - 1 Single
by martin
1hr 15 mins of bliss, dry draw raisens and cedar. Even burn quite light, with plenty of smoke. Easy draw. Well worth every penny.

Quintero Favoritos Cigar - 1 Single
by Chris
These have got to be among the tastiest cigars I've tried, and I've sampled quite a few different brands lately. Burn and construction are not exactly of Premier League standards but the nice easy draw and flavour more than make up for it. A competitively priced Cuban alternative to Oliva and NUB.
Quintero, why pay more?

Boveda Metal Holder - Holds 1 Pack
by Robert
Very smart looking item. Fits nicely in the lid of my 30-capacity humidor. I've noticed that boveda packets produce a slightly lower RH when sitting in this than when simply placed in among the cigars. A 69% packets gives me 66% when sitting on the cigars and about 63% from within this holder.
It comes with two fitting methods: Velcro and magnet. The Velcro is so strong it pulled away the piece attached to the lid, bringing some wood with it. I recommend fitting it with the magnet.

An excellent cigar. Plenty of power but I would suggest accessible to all but the faintest heart. My last one had an erratic burn which was hopefully a one off but it didn't spoil the enjoyment of this top quality cigar. I pick up something vaguely perfumy but in a good tobacco way. I would buy a box for the humidor. Recommended!

This is the second Bolivar cigar that I have had and I enjoyed this one much more than the first. I initially got a hit of creaminess when I first sparked up but this quickly became quite peppery and earthy which lasted for the first third of the cigar. The final two thirds the taste became considerably more woody, but not harsh at all. I found the final two thirds to be more to my liking. The cigar was well made with an ash which stayed together very well and produced a nice cone when tapped. The cigar did burn quite unevenly, a difference of about 10-12mm by the end between the two sides.
I enjoyed this whilst on a break from motorbiking, relaxing in the summer sun. I think I would have enjoyed it even more with a cup of coffee or a nice malt.

These are absolutely marvellous. A really pleasant long smoke. I love the square shape which is surprisingly easy to hold. They burn really well and have a great draw. I love the retro 70s looking packaging and paper wrappers. Really nice earthy taste and great chunky size - bigger than expected. If slightly cheaper they would be my regular daily smokes.
