Trinidad Fundadores Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
Trinidad is a fabulous medium strength smoke, and a great alternative to Cohiba, Trinidad Fundadores is a great alternative to Cohiba Lanceros with bigger ring gauge, 40 x 192mm.
The first part begins with a cold smoke with a nice woody and earthy flavours, after a few minutes I started finding a great caramel hint and very creamy taste.
On the second part, I can taste a great Vanilla flavour with a few white pepper notes.
The last part the earthy flavours are getting more prominent with spicy hints.
Great smoke and perfect cigar- David, Turmeaus Liverpool

Wish I'd left this in the humidor a little longer. Heard a lot of good things about this little cigar and keen to try it. Great start cut beautifully and lit perfectly square. After the first quarter though I started to have some issues. A lot of heat in the middle and a uneven burn causing a couple of re lights!! It had a great flavour and definite complexity with some rich woody spice coming through. Will love to buy a couple more and leave them to mature a little.

Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
This small cigar measuring 4” length and 46 ring gauge is, in my opinion a fantastic short full bodied cigar. Absolutely perfect for those short breaks during a cold winter.
In the first part you can find lots of strong leathery notes. The smooth and creamy full bodied taste has hints of spicy black pepper.
The second part is much milder in comparison to first. More creamy with lots of woody notes and hints of sweet, but full flavoured white pepper.
In the third part the strength comes back with fiery black pepper and hints of distinctive ginger. Creamy and spicy, a lovely combination.
This cigar is getting very popular in these cold days. A fresh ginger tea or a slightly peated Stalla Dhu Islay whisky is perfect to enhance the spicy flavours. Or, you could pair it with a lovely sweet Stalla Dhu Speyside for a more balanced experience.

Not a bad smoke was expecting a bit more after reading the reviews, didn't really live up to the star ratings that it has been getting, however the Draw was ok and ash stacked up nicley but felt the flavour was a bit lacking and not as smooth as i would like Not really my kind of smoke.

Partagas Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
Partagas Short 110mm x 42 in comparisons with the other Partagas is more Medium strength, perfect to smoke it after work in winter with a nice expresso.
The first part of the cigar since the beginning I can fell lots of earth flavours, very woody and sweet.
The second part is more sweet and very leathery.
The third part is getting a bit stronger with black pepper notes with tiny spicy notes on the palate.
Is a nice 20-25 minutes smoke during this cold evening and perfect to be relaxed after work.
