Quintero Favoritos Cigar - 1 Single
by carol
An excellent cigar for the price. Took an hour to smoke, with lovely leather taste especially towards the end, no harshness and not an overpowering taste like some of the similar sized ring gauge cigars. I found the burn nice and even. A nice smoke to add to the Humidor.

A delightful cigar packed with full of flavours in a short smoke. Expect a light, nutty and creamy treat from the moment you light it up. The flavours start to develop further once you get into the cigar towards 2/3 through where hints of chocolate, spice and woody/leathery notes work it's way through towards the finish. It delivers a thick amount of smoke output with an easy but smooth draw every time, which I find satisfying. For a short cigar it holds the ash rather well, there was one minor issue with the cigar due to the way I had lit the cigar, causing the cigar to burn uneven to begin with (my fault) but after a simple touch up with the lighter it smoked perfectly till the end. An ideal cigar to have any time of the day, I would highly recommend! Michael - Staff Review

Had 1 of these bad boys in a recent purchased chubby selection . This was definitely my personal favourite . Excellent hour or so relaxing smoke . Light tangy peppery taste , easy draw with ample plumes of think creamy smoke . Cheaper than my usual cubans of choice well worth a try . Love this gauge size big fat bad boy smoke . Shorty also great with smaller gauge . Well worth a punt .

Having heard good things about the Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No 2, I decided it was time to give it a go. The first thing to note about this cigar is its appearance on the eye. From the rich warm colour of the wrapper, to the bold double band printed in red, gold and white, this cigar seemingly oozes real quality. The feel of the cigar is compact without being too rigid, which should hopefully allow for a good draw. Finished with a tidy double cap, simply holding this cigar makes me feel more elegant.
Upon lighting, the first few draws bring with it a smooth creamy taste, with hints of wood and chocolate. As I progress, the burn is excellent, with delicate white spots visible in the ash. The draw is good also.
Into the second third of the cigar, the smoothness remains, however a hint of cinnamon begins to emerge, along with further intensified flavours of chocolate and wood. The burn remains excellent at about thirty minutes into this medium bodied cigar.
Flavours remain similar into the final third of the cigar, with a smooth creamy taste, complimented by subtle hints of

San Cristobal El Principe Cigar - 1 Single
by Jennifer
As a novice smoker researching the cigar selection for our wedding, this was bought on recommendation from your shop in Glasgow as the ideal length of smoke for this occasion.
Smoked after brunch at a civilised Glasgow cafe, it started out with a light draw but soon developed into something more substantial, and a coffee latte complimented it very well indeed.
It lasted a satisfyingly long time, and while classed as a light to medium cigar, certainly gave this novice a powerful smoking experience.
Definitely a serious contender for our wedding selection.
