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.

This is a great little cigar (lasted 15-20 minutes), very well constructed with a draw on the somewhat looser side of the scale. Nice spices frame what is mostly a nutty or woody core of flavors, sometimes accompanied by a hint of anise or coffee. One to revisit, although there are lots of other Davidoffs to try.

I'm Writing this as I smoke it.. I'm still finding my way with cigars, so trying all sorts in the name of science! For the money, this is a really nice cigar. Nothing overly complex, or challenging. I agree with some of the other comments of earthy, hay notes, pretty 'dry' on the palette ( if there is such a thing).. Pre burn was quite malty, which is slowly coming out at half way, along with its more 'sweeter' flavours...
FYI there is a good nico hit with these. So if you're a beginner just bare that in mind! But don't let it put you off!
I'm pretty sure this will be a box purchase with the intention to age on for a year or so?
