Expect about 40 mins from a this, quite a fast burner. Light bodied with subtle chocolate and coffee. Very smooth, no spice or pepper. Base notes of that Nicaraguan nutty flavour with a leather finish. I enioyed this Oliva, clean tasting and no bitterness. A little light for my tastes and did burn quite quick for its size. Good lunch time smoke.

H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
This cigar was plugged around the band area so I poked a hole from the head and it did sort out the draw though it was still a little tighter than perfect and did cause some tunnelling later on but nothing too bad.The first third was light with Nutty and cedar, second third a sweetness started to develop and I got hints of milk chocolate. Stayed smooth throughout. Nutty and tangy with earth coming in for the final third. Into the final third there was a floral earthy taste which must be that classic Upman 'olive' taste. Though if I hadn't have read about it I probably wouldn't have been able to put my finger on it. Got slightly spicy towards the end. Had it in my humidor for about 5 months but I think another 6 months would have helped bring out the more subtle chcolatly sweetness more. Burn was uneven but was correctable.
In conclusion this was a little rougher than I would expect but I am putting that down to youth. I will be buying more to put away for a few years as these have a lot of potential and are good value

Mild spice to the wrapper, easy, but not too light draw, even burn and well made. Its a richer smoke than the Honduran 58, medium flavour starting with light leather and cedar. Cedar develops right to the finger tips. Never harsh. Allowing the punitive tobacco tax in the UK, both the Invicta 58's offer good value. Thanks to Cgars for finding them for us.

I've just recently got into smoking cigars and have been trying different brands to see what I like, wow this cigar is amazing.
Firstly the construction was impeccable. Beautiful dark chocolate oily wrapper with a stunning band wrapped around it, I took a good few mins admiring it's beauty and it's aroma.
The light and first draw was a delight with a pleasent coco coffee hit and lots of lovely smelling smoke.
First 1/3 was gorgeously smooth with some hints of nuts and dark coca beans.
2/3 I got my first big nicotine hit and the smoke got even smoother, the nutty taste has submerged and I was greeted with a more ntense coco coffee leathery taste.
3/3 wow this cigar packs a punch, much the same as the 2/3 but much stronger, I smoked this until I couldn't hold it anymore and boy did this cigar knock me for six, beng still a novice to cigar smoking and haven't not eaten, I felt what I can only describe as cigar drunk. I will definitely eat before smoking one of these again and maybe less coffee.
Overall a beautiful cigar in taste, construction and smoke, can't recomme

Partagas Serie D No. 6 Cigar - 1 Single
by thomas
As one of my first dozen smokes it was definitely a short 30 minute experience as I was smoking on a cold, windy and slightly rainy lunch time.
The wrapper had minimal veins and had a green tint in places. I found that the cut even below the shoulder resulted in the wrapper slightly unravelling nearer the end. It didn't leave an unpleasant after taste like I have experienced form other cigars so I think it would make a great short lunch time break. Lots of creamy smoke and easy draw, which was a real finger burner nearer the end.
However, for me it wasn't really the cigar I was looking for. As for a
£20 per hour smoke I have had a similar pleasant experience from cheaper cigars of this size

La Invicta Honduran 58 Cigar - 1 Single
by Philip
Very light draw, some loose packing in middle. Pleasant wrapper aroma, strong ash flavour, slight sting on the tongue and hard palate. Mellows in the middle, with a strong nicotine hit. Loose filling makes burn tricky. Flavours dont develop, some sweetness and quality of tobacco, and somehow, an enjoyable smoke. But not one for an occasion.
