Well I'm new to Cigar smoking and thoroughly enjoying finding my pallette while my go to Cigar is the coronation punch Corona I wanted a box of relatively cheap cigars for the home. These are nothing to write home about the first half is boring and flavourless the second is a bit better with it finishing bitter. The machine made fill gets quite soft as and if Like me you prefer a to cut the cap then towards the end you will be picking tobacco leaves out of your teeth. Really wish I had listened to other reviewers and ordered the blue box.

This was the first ever 'flavoured' cigar that I had ever tried. The packet, wrappers and the cigar itself smelled like a very lovely cherry and there was a pleasing cherry flavour on the mouthpart of the cigar.
The flavour was not really reminiscent of cherry, I'm not sure to what extent a flavoured cigar should taste like it's flavouring - but there was certainly little to no of the cherry smell from the wrapper in the smoke of any of the cigars. Did I get a dud pack or is this normal? I've no idea;
But, the cigar itself was quite nice and very well constructed.
It'd be great if C.Gars LTD got the La Aurora Principe's, the regular size, rather than the chicos - however!

I bought two tins of these from a differant company! They arrived unsealed, prob because they have to put anti smoking stickers on it, and they were nasty! Horrid old ashtray bitter rancid taste! A little bit crispy, so I put them in a separate travel humidor at 72% for just over 2months and wow what a difference, lovely sweet tobacco flavour slight nutty taste going on to a caramel with a bit of leather ash held on inch at a time, burn slightly wonkey but sorted itself out construction great, just over an hour long burn time, very much enjoyed them worth the effort , will buy more of these From CIGARS excellent customer service won't buy from anywhere else.

Slow burning tobacco with a pleasant nose. Good value.

A pretty looking cigar and great construction tightly packed. Pre-light is a little tight which continues all the way through not opening up at all. Not sure if this due to how it is constructed to give it the 'barber pole' effect, not relaxing as it heats up. Definitely a cigar of thirds. First third not more significant than tobacco flavour but into second half of the second third a strong chocolate flavour and a creamy mouth feel comes through transitioning into a clove like flavour. If you have tried a Drew Estate Acid Kuba Kuba then reminiscent of this but rather a real clove spice flavour which lasts, though mellows. The burn is excellent in spite of the work needed due to the draw, which can sometimes contribute to uneven burn, but not here. The cigar only rested in the humidor for a week so maybe with a little more time it would open up more. A medium bodied smoke which I'll certainly be purchasing some more of.

Well, the cigar burned well and produced nice quantities of smoke. I wasn't hugely impressed by anything really, fairly one dimensional taste and aroma. Some sweetness and pleasing tastes but really I was quite pleased when it was finished. It has put me off buying large diameter cigars to be honest.
