Partagas Mini Cigarillos - Pack of 10
by William
I really enjoyed these cigars. I am not an experienced smoker, I've had a couple of convenience store cigars and that's about it.
When they arrived I had one straight out the box, it must have been dry as it burned quite hot and had a bitter after taste. I got a humidor setup properly and popped them in it (loose, not in tin) for two days.
The texture of the cigar changed completely, it was much more moist and took a little longer to light (not saying much given the size of the cigar). The flavour was completely different, much smoother, smoke was cool and no bad after taste. I was able to smoke right up until it hit my fingers, I had it with a coffee sitting on the back patio and it was just class. I can't even complain about them lasting only 10 minutes given the size of them.
Excellent, highly recommended for a quick smoke break. If mini cigars are considered poor compared to a 'proper' cigar I can't wait until I light up something with a bit more girth ;)

Peterson De Luxe Mixture Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin
by Jonathan
This is a lovely smooth blend, wonderful flavour and the aromas of vanilla, walnut and honey are gently distinctive.

As I am just finishing my 2nd of these delightful Robusto sized Inka Secret Blend Rojo Red I had to put this review up to go alongside many others in regards to the quality, flavour and price.
In all honesty I doubt that a Robusto can be put forward to challenge this cigar based on cost and most importantly, quality.
This Robusto is fantastic. The draw from the beginning to the end is lovely and you get around 2 inches of ash and when it falls you are presented with a tip surrounded by a light grey ash. The first third is very much in the middle taste wise, but you can start to get the flavour profile leading into the 2nd third and last third which are a delicious medium all the way to the end. The only caution is the wrapper leaf is a little fragile I have found.
These Robustos can stand shoulder to shoulder with many of the main producers including the Cuban benchmark.
For me, I will always have this cigar in my humidor.
Buy one and try for yourself!

Well, having read the reviews above I decided to give these a try they are described as a low budget good everyday smoke in reality.
The first I found was so harsh I discarded it half way through. The next day I tried another hoping the days before was a one off but unfortunately not.
These are just not to my liking being harsh and not an enjoyable smoke and leaving a horrible taste that lasts all day. I found after smoking almost half way through they made me feel ill and not like any other cigar I've smoked. I can't see why the gents above find these an enjoyable smoke I'm either a totally different type of smoker or I'm missing something! These are not for me.

I've had a few of these cigars now and what a pleasure they are Lovely even burn right down to within 3/4" nearly burning my finger I enjoy them so much.
A mild cigar and well worth the money loads of smoke and lovely flavours will be adding more to my humidor 5/5 for me.

The San Cristobal De La Habana El Principe is a very tasty small cigar with a perfect draw mild to medium in strength with tastes of dried apricot at first then becoming spiced apricot that lasts to the end an excellent 40 minutes smoke, ideal for the beginner, coffee break or alfresco pub smoke. other small cigars that are really good are the Cohiba Siglo I, Rafael Gonzalez Perlas, Trinidad Reyes and the Montecristo No.5
