H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by mohammed
this was my first cigar i have ever smoked. at first it was a little full bodies for me but after a few more draws i notice it was given me show much pleasure. the taste, the aromas and complete relaxed feeling. i was starting to really enjoy it. it lasted a awful a lot of time for me (30 mins) and so had to stop and save it for later. even the next day it was a nice smoke but not as good as the firs time. highly recommended (smoking time 20-30 mins).

Henri Wintermans Half Corona - Pack of 5 cigars
by mohammed
I am a beginner cigar smoker and my first cigar was H. Uppman (U.H) Cuban cigar which was very pleasant and enjoyable cigar......highly recommended for a beginner smoker. However, when you compare the HW Half coronas with H.U Cigars they are really are not nice. I found it was very harsh on the back of the throat and had to clear my throat a few times the next day. There are not bad but i would suggest for the similar style cigars try the cuban like the Montecristo and Romeo Y Juliet it would be much better tasting but will set you back in similar price.

The first smoke of my Charatan sampler pack definitely did not disappoint. This little cigar of the full bodied variety definitely packs a punch. Throughout its 25-30 minute life span I got tastes of dark wood. The tube and cigar definitely tick the classy look box too. These would make ideal gifts or wedding smokes.

Very pleased with my first and reasonably priced humidor. Arrived within days of placing the order. Extremely well packaged. Good solid construction and beautiful finish ( I chose the cherry varnish version). Regarding the hygrometer, the calibration adjustment screw mechanism is rather flimsy. After some fiddling I did managed to set the device to the correct reading and it seems to provide a reasonably accurate reading of humidity levels. The set up instructions are clear and easy to follow. I seasoned the humidor for a few days before use (as advised by a previous reviewer). Received a bonus gift cigar ring-gauge chart which is quite handy. Staff emailed me after delivery to check all was well. All was well. Service cannot be faulted.

C.Gars Ltd Smokers Mints - Bag of 25
by Zenon
Originally a free gift with an order (thank you C.Gars). Not tried one myself but my wife (not a smoker) helped herself to one which she thoroughly enjoyed. I’m assured it’s a two hour mint. Bought a bag for her delectation.

This is one of my favourite cheap/everyday cigars.
When you first light it you get a lovely aroma and a teaser of the taste to come. There's not a ton of smoke with this stick but there's enough to satisfy that afternoon appetite.
The second part of this stick is when the flavour really starts to come through. It's woody, toasty and fairly smooth.
The final third is my favourite part of this one. The flavours really start to take off, and I found there wasn't so much of the peppery motif often found in cigars of this price range.
Again, as I often say in my reviews, you must set your expectations in line with the price you pay. Although I'm fairly new to cigars I've already learned that you get what you pay for.
If you're looking for a nice, cheap cigar, give this one a try. It's got a lot of flavour and it won't leave an uncomfortable tang on your tongue afterwards.
