C.GARS Ltd allows me to be a chartered libertine in writing these cigar tasting reviews. They never know just what I might say about one of their cigars but have promised to print whatever my opinions might be; brave folks that they are. Not to worry, C.GARS, this is going to be a nice review.
"Gorblimey" if this cigar is not one of the greatest made. Measuring a staggering 7 5/8 x 49 (178 x 18.65), the cigar is a impressive item. Let me take you on a trip through this cigar.
The oils on this wrapper make it a delight to the eye. A deep, dark, rich, chestnut brown color immediately makes you feel like hiding the riches from prying eyes and salivating mouths and telling your amigos to bog off. There are no veins on the wrapper and, from cap to foot, you cannot but notice it's smooth construction. The cap is almost too perfect to cut. The foot is as even as could measurably be, and looking end up, the tobacco leaf is tightly and symmetrically rolled.
The cigar is firm yet yielding just a bit, and there were no soft spots to be found. I had laid this

The package arrived at my house; I opened it and was stunned by what I saw. Like identical triplets, 3 magnificent Hoyo de Monterrey double coronas from José Gener. Beautiful light brown smooth wrapper 7.5inches long and with a ring gauge of 49. I placed them carefully in my luxury El Presidente humidor. (You know, the one with the glass lid and the inaccurate hygrometer J ) I wanted to allow them to rest for a few hours to recover from the rigours of travel with Royal Mail.
Cigar 1: I have a palate, which can be likened to a sumo wrestlers armpit, but my nasal lining is to die for. I enjoy a cigar best in my car and that evening I was going out! I took the 1st HdM and snipped the cap with my Xigar and sucked experimentally on the unlit cigar. The initial taste was of too much air so I gently squeezed the cigar and thought that it had been rolled a bit too loose. I toasted the foot with my Blazer and it lit evenly but with loads of smoke. Each draw and I could see the burning end racing towards me. It had been rolled too loose. It burned q

'Twas the night before work week, when all through the house, The Maduro Mistress was stirring, trying not to wake spouse; The humis, half empty, lay on wood floor with care, Waiting, anticipating, for her to come share;
Where Mistress' babies had nestled all snug in their cedar, Now only visions of perfect ash wafted in their stead; For that Hoyo De Monterrey Double Corona, with perfect cap, Had just settled in her lungs for a long winter's nap,

Now the cigar is half gone, but oh what a glow the luster, the strength, the tobacco - whoa, when, what to her wandering eyes should appear, but a 6 pack of Heineken! Oh, what a beer!
With a little MacGyver, oh yeah, what a trick, She flipped open a bottle, and damn boys, she's quick! More rapid than eagles, those cigar forces they came, and she whistled and shouted and calle

Bought one of these as a progression from the smaller Hamlets I have smoked for a while. As a novice and wanting to start a small collection i thought i would give the La Invicta brand a try. They are mild to medium and have a burn of around 15 mins, so perfect with a glass of your fave drink. For less than £3 they wont break the bank, and are well worth the money, hoping to try a larger ring Gage from this brand as i have enjoyed it so much.

Cuaba Tradicionales Cigar - 1 Single

I smoked this cigar accompanied with some 7 year old Havana Club: what a perfect combination! Medium flavour and slightly lighter strength than the 2 larger sizes but no less pleasing. The blend reminds me somewhat of the smaller Romeos although it does retain a reasonably distinct flavour. Medium colorado maduro wrappers, smooth and relatively vein free. A decent daytime smoke. If you like the Cuaba Tradicionales you may wish to try: Punch Petit Corona and H. Upmann Gran Corona.

I'm relatively new to the world of cigars in that I have only been smoking them for about 3 years. Previously, I had been a pipe smoker, and felt I needed a change.
A co-worker turned me on to the world of cigars in May of 2000, and I've never looked back. He and his wife both smoke cigars, and it wasn't long before they gave me my first Cuban as a gift for some work I'd done for them earlier that same year.
Since then I have been smoking Cuban cigars on a regular basis, as money will allow. Six months ago another friend gave me one of a bunch of Cuaba Salomones he had purchased from CgarsLtd. He seemed very excited about his purchase, and insisted that I try one and tell him what I thought. Please find below my impressions on this figurado:
Size: This cigar measures an impressive 7 1/4 x 49, and is shaped in the figurado style.
Appearance: The wrapper is smooth and silky with the slightest impression of small veins. The color was a nice medium brown much like nicely tanned leather.
Feel: The cigar was firm to the touch,
