I've been having issues with some of these when first lighting the inside is burning way to fast compared from the outside by the time the outer layers are burning the middle has burnt down about a centimetre. Also because the middle is burning so fast I've been getting pin holes burn through the outer layer that has ruined the draw. But it has been pretty random I've smoked about half the box and three or four have been bad but the rest are good. So be prepared to be a bit disappointed with these

The Backwoods Authentic (Light Brown) Cigars - Pack of 5 are a cracking little pack to keep on hand. Each cigar lasts me around 20 - 25 minutes, and they’ve got that trademark sweet, aromatic flavour that makes them stand out. They’re not something I’d smoke every day, but as an occasional treat they really hit the spot.
For the price, they’re excellent value, and I always make sure I’ve got a pack in. They’re especially good for social nights, mates round for shooting some pool or gaming, and even the non smokers end up enjoying one. They’ve got that easy going, sweet taste that makes them approachable for just about anyone. A casual, fun cigar that’s well worth keeping stocked.

This has got to be one of the best medium cigars I’ve ever smoked, this is my new go to cigar

I was really looking forward to trying this cigar but the flavour profile just didn't do anything for me unfortunately.
It was a well constructed cigar, great even burn all the way till the end and a nice easy smooth draw also. So this isn't a negative review, just wasn't the right cigar for me.

Tried one of these at a CGars pairing evening with Cuban rum. Mellow and smooth, hazelnut and mild chocolate. A firm cigar, smooth draw and even burn; good ash retention. Lasted well over the stated 50mins, almost 80mins I would say. Expensive but a well deserved, occasional luxury

I had been wanting to try this for a while due to the great reviews it had been receiving in the cigar press, and now it is available in the UK. First impressions were of an attractive and well constructed cigar that cuts, lights and draws easily. It also had one of the most even burns that I have experienced for a while. However, although the tasting notes are generally correct (chocolate and espresso in the background) I didn't pick up much sweetness or fruit due to the overwhelming taste of pepper. I don't mind strong and spicy, but you can have too much of a good thing. For me this cigar lacks balance in the way it delivers its flavours. Perhaps some more age/time in the humidor would help, or a different vitola. I wouldn't out anyone off trying this if strong and peppery is your thing but, personally, I don't think that I am likely to try this again as it didn't quite live up to the hype.
