Fonseca No. 1 Cigar - Box of 25
by Richard
These cigars are a treat for the senses, from their unique paper wrapping to the end of the smoke.
There are slight grassy notes from the unlit draw which hint at the mild flavour to come.
1st third: Creamy, tobacco with a slight toasty edge to it, almost bordering on the acrid. Not too much nicotine and a nicely medium body of smoke.
2nd third: Developed into a creamy hazelnut note - still not too strong in the nicotine level.
Final third: Some of the harshness from the initial light returns and the smoke becomes more acrid, irritating the back of the throat somewhat.
I have since smoked others and they had less harshness and were more consistently creamy throughout, a pleasant cigar to "sip" over an hour or so. Good even burn and I have yet to have a badly constructed one although the sample number is admittedly low!

Petit edmundo ..what a lovely smoke, for me personally it was light to medium in flavour but it had a bit of class about it, quite an elegant smoke.the one I had was a little under filled but I won't hold that against it.it burned maybe a bit quicker because of that yet the flavour was lovely.spicey peppery with caramel and milk chocolate.i have strong black coffee with all my cigars I smoke.being an ex chef, what brings flavour out is heat.hot strong coffee for me really accents and brings out the flavours in a cigar.leaves a lovely taste on the lips and as with most cigars for me the flavours and taste hang around for many hours after.so I can really enjoy the whole smoking experience which is more than just the duration of the cigar.id happily have more petit edmundos But first im going to try its big brother the edmundo.stick half a dozen or a box of these in your humidor you won't go far wrong.perfect smoke either in the morning or early afternoon . seriously lovely.

After a year of not picking up a Cuban cigar I bought one of these in my new sampler which promptly arrived a day ago. Boy was this a good reintroduction to Cuban's. Pre light draw gave a slight sweetness with a mild(white) pepper notes. After a good toast and light the smoke gave off a light floral notes with the slight sweetness and light pepper to the front and mid palate. The 2nd and last 3rd also saw some salty notes with a mild sweetness some woody notes and sour/sharp citrus notes, and like the 1st third light pepper. Combustion was spot on, never died out and burn line was razor sharp. Even when the burn line went off slightly it easily self corrected. Total burn time was 1 hour and 10 mins. I do not rush my cigar's and this was just a joy to smoke from start to finish. Very smooth smoke right up to the nub. This little gem has made it on my list to repurchase later on this year. As with all my Cigar's this was put into a humidor holding 65% humidity. I have the bigger brother the Wide Churchill resting in my humidor, and if this one is anything to go buy I'am in for a real t

H. Upmann Magnum 50 Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
H. Upmann was the first brand I got into and I frequently recommend them for beginners, due to the blend's mild flavour profile. However, the magnum 50 packs considerably more punch than many of the other vitolas, with a surprisingly leathery flavour and sweet, subtle hints of honey. The 50 ring gauge allows plumes of thick smoke from a very easy draw. The increased strength of this stick makes it perfect for people who have enjoyed sizes like the Majestic and Corona juniors, but are yearning for something with a bit more power! -Calum, Turmeaus Chester
