Sweet and yummy, easy like Sunday morning. I enjoy these and will always keep a sprinkling in the humidor.

Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - 1 Single
by alexandru
Decent 35-40 mins smoke. Consistent and most of the time even burn. However I found it too strong for my taste. Leathery and spicy, tasted a bit like dark chocolate paired with a tawny port.
Unfortunately the draw was tight, especially the last inch or so. Because of that became a bit hot and harsh.
I will not buy again as I prefer milder cigars but if go past the tight draw it makes a good smoke.

Romeo y Julieta No. 2 Tubed Cigar - 1 Single

my first RyJ. was quite pleased with this one. Light at the beginning, constant burn, becomes more spicy towards the end but nothing too strong. Perfect for a beginner like me. I've already bought more

This was my first Arturo Fuente cigar and I must say it was fantastic! The draw is a bit tight but nothing unexpected. The construction was solid and ash held for about an inch and a half. The burn was also consistent through about 2/3 of the cigar with a bit of relighting needed. The cigar lasted me about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
In terms of flavor I found the smoke very smooth and creamy with hints of chocolate, vanilla and of roasted Barley. Towards the last 1/3 the taste developed into something much more rich and deep. As a novice myself I was surprised by the overall strength but was not overwhelmed as it came gradually and consistently.
Would recommend to anyone looking to develop their palate.
5/5 Because I enjoyed the experience and quality.

Full to medium body without too huge a nicotine hit, but I'd still suggest it as an evening smoke or when out walking the dogs. Probably a good 45 minutes or more smoke. Nice flavour with a hint of marzipan plus some floral undertones, not too peppery. Find it goes well with a hoppy ale such as Brewdog Punk IPA. Draw is only slightly tight but a good bit of smoke results; you do though need to work with the cigar else it will go out. I found two light puffs per draw. Character does not change much through the session, it's pleasant without any new surprises.
Ash is a dark grey and holds reasonably well, there is a good even burn throughout. Construction of the cigar is firm with the wrapper being slightly dark in colour and smooth with light veining.
These have been sitting in the humidor for a good six months, this has mellowed the initial ammonia hint that I was getting. For their size and strength, I think they are very good value. Not my go to Nicaragua cigar, I'm a fan of Drew Estate, but value for money I think they are hard to beat.

This isn't a negative review as I have not smoked it yet. If you are relatively new to cigars though it is worth noting that this cigar is very long, basically it doesn't fit in my new small humidor.
(I know, I should have checked)Looks great though.
