Tubos is obviously convenient for packing for a weekend away, but save yourself a few quid buy the loose version. Substantial cigar to be fair, but really quite gentle, light/medium body and low strength. Lots of very white smoke on drawing but very little when resting. Nice and creamy with a touch of roasted nut and coffee upfront changing to light leather and some pleasant woody notes, no harshness and nothing bitter. Excellent construction, single minor correction needed at 3/4 mark...other than that perfect burn.

I like a Short Gordo - a nice big ring guage without a 2hr smoke time. Sadly, the flavours of this cigar were not to my personal liking.
It lasted me a leisurely 1hour, though it suffered throughout with uneven burning, requiring a few touch-ups, but the ash held well. As I removed the band, a portion of the wrapper lifted away with it making the last third a trickier smoke.
Not bad, but not great, and not one for me.

First cigar in over 5 years found it very tight to draw and not much smoke, had a nice even burn, definetly avoid if your new to cigars or want and easy smoke as this cigar is hard on the draw.
Left pleasant after taste.

I really enjoyed this mild and creamy cigar. I am a newer smoker and tend to prefer milder cigars, and have been exploring what's available. If you're looking for something smooth and easy going, I'd recommend this. However, as I cut the cigar with a good quality v-cutter, 3-4cm of wrapper immediately came loose from the cap (repaired with a dab of honey) - I watched a online review of this cigar that had exactly the same issue in the same place, so perhaps have some cigar glue on standby! The draw was a little tight, but never difficult nor plugged. The ash held really well throughout and the burn-line was flawless with no re-lighting or touch-ups required. It lasted me a slow-smoking 1hr 15 mins. I will buy this again.

This sample collection is a 10/10 - Many different flavours to experiment with. They all seem to have a signature scent and flavour that overreaches into every blend, while maintaining a distinct flavour for each tobacco. I have tried all so far apart from the commonwealth mixture and I have to say these are very high quality and sophisticated blends. My favourite has got to be the Skiff Mixture as it is fast burning, has a nice smooth flavour and works well with corn cob and briar pipes alike. That being said I think that all of these blends are very pleasurable to smoke and are absolutely great value for money considering the high quality. A definite recommendation.

I went into smoking this cigar with high expectations as a friend of mine said they were a great smoke and one of his favourites.
The positives: great flavours and strength. I got a strong leather note which was pleasant and black pepper/cayenne with some creamy notes in there too. I also got some nice woodsy flavours. This cigar also produced lots of great looking smoke that hung nicely in the air.
The negatives: I had to battle with an uneven burn from about half way into the first third. With the cigar having a closed foot I made sure that it was lit properly after smoking through the wrapper that closed off the foot. Along side the uneven burn I had to relight often from halfway onwards.
For me I loved the flavour of the cigar but the uneven burn and relights did let it down. I would recommend trying the cigar for the great flavours but would be cautious of construction issues.
