Romeo y Julieta No. 3 Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Terence
Can't fault the No. 3 really. In smoking my first one I realised that I am more of an Upmanns man but certainly not because there is any major fault with the Romeo No 3. The first 3rd although very mild is intriguing and friendly in pronouncing what's come. I pared it with an Italian espresso but only for the first 3rd. By the second 3rd I had a glass of beer beside me and, I hate to admit, was listening to a bit of Chopin. The second is when the character of the cigar came home and, like the best cuban cigars I have so far smoked, the cigar insisted of reminding me of all the people and hard work that went in to building such a fine thing. I am not the best in describing flavours but I can tell that when I start to think deeply about the work behind my smoke is when I know am smoking something that will be memorable to me. Final 3rd; I have to admit, this is the first time I have had to re-light a cuban cigar but I wasn't all that bothered, it's a well built cigar regardless. As to be expected, a cigar this size gets a bit hot and challenging towards the end but it's got a good spic

I have to agree with Alistair. This is a lovely herf.
Easy to draw, lovely flavour to the end.
I have had more trouble drawing from a Montechristo and less flavour from an Upmann.
I was not at all disappointed with this and will likely buy more.

Hard one as I was really expecting a lot after reading the reviews but the one I had was really hard to draw until the last third so slightly disappointed, I really had to work hard and didn't get much smoke at all. Build was excellent, packed tight, plenty of flavour all the way down, spice and cream, maybe next time I will leave it for a while and see if it makes any difference. Not discounted it, but not rushing back quite yet. A very personal review, tainted by the VERY hard draw. Worth trying, you may think different.

Lovely half hour smoke, tight draw but so rich and nicely flavoured, I will get some more of these. Flavour consistent all way down, didn't detect any spice or pepper, just a really nice mid size cigar to go with a good coffee.

Guantanamera Cristales Cigar - 1 Single
by Terence
Awefull! Broken wrapper. Terrible build. Just because they are cheap doesn't mean you are being wiser with your money. Yes it has a Cuban taste but there was no Cuban pride taken in making this nobly soulless stick. It's a poor man's cigar and you are not this poor! You would be better going to the supermarket and buying a box of Scandinavian Cafe Cremes. Not good. Also I was very disappointed that Cgars sent me something with a broken wrapper (they have been great otherwise).

This is my favourite cigar up to now, packed with flavour and quality build from the first time I lit it until I finished it. Everything I want in a cigar is in this one. I will definitely be buying some more. I may be new to cigars but at this point I have to say this is the best smoke I've had.
