Trinidad Reyes Cigar - 1 Single
by Dale
Good half hour smoke, not on my list for best Cigar but well made, good draw and tightly packed. Cream didn't kick in until half way through, got plenty of pepper from it though. It may need leaving a while, maybe one day I will revisit them.

A nice looking cigar with good construction and a nice looking wrapper. On lighting, roasted flavours emerge, a hint of coffee and cocoa, light spice. The cigar is definitely in the medium strength range- the flavours and strength were consistent throughout but did not develop further from the first third through to the finish. A smooth smoke. Enjoyed with a Ruby Port.

Divine right from the start, my favourite so far, though I have only just started, lasted me a good 45 minutes and I only put it down because it was burning me. I got a lovely creamy chocolate to start with changing into a woody flavour with hints of spice.
I will definitely be getting some more of these, build is excellent, not too tight and easy draw, a delight to smoke. I had a glass of sangria which (for me) was nice and complemented it well, again this is a personal choice, I thought a whiskey might over power it.
I'm still learning so don't judge me too harshly, cigars I'm finding are a very personal experience and this one was delightful. I can't sing its praises enough and for the price even a Yorkshire man like myself can't complain.

Enjoyed the first two but others were a disappointment, I've put two away to see if they improve. They are very loosely wrapped and apart from the first two the others left a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure if I dropped on a bad batch, probably will wait a while before I try them again.
I could give two completely different reviews based on the first two and the last two. As it's the first time I've had them I will reserve judgement and see what a bit of time does to the two I've stored away. The first two were truly mini Cubans.

Quorum Classic Short Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Caroline
Ring size: probably the maximum for me
Smoke: nice amount
Flavour: nice and smooth....not nutty or peppery.
Draw: Easy.
Band: Just fell off with the first draw....little disappointing as I like to leave it on until the end.
Time: approx. 40 minutes for me....I'm a slow smoker I think.
Ash: 1 inch before it came off with a slight knock
Nicotine hit: approx. 1.5 inch from end but was slight.
General: nice little cigar....well worth paying the extra £1 for the proper size. Happy to buy again.

Good construction, fairly easy draw. Rustic wrapper, but fairly handsome stick. Some unfamiliar notes in the flavour profile but nothing objectionable. Great looking ash, only needed minor correction toward end. Enough depth of flavour to keep me interested - good for the price. An interesting enough smoke at a decent price - for £7 I'd usually rather smoke a Perla size Habano - Monte 5 or similar. But I can imagine times this would fit the bill - something to puff on while having a round of pitch and putt - something to puff on of an afternoon down the pub etcetera.
