Can't complain too much for the price but I wasn't keen on the taste. Draw and burn were decent enough though. I don't think I will be getting again

Cohiba Maduro 5 Magicos Cigar - 1 Single
by Alistair
As a general fan of Cohibas and maduro wrappers it was obvious I was going to love this. It has typical Cohiba characteristics and a nice draw, but, to compare to chocolate, where normal Cohibas are milk, this is more a dark. Lovely stuff.

Bolivar Petit Coronas Cigar - 1 Single
by Alistair
Bolivars are delightful. That's a fact. I don't think I've ever had one that I didn't like however they are notorious for their strength (to the extent that on a tour of the Partagas factory in Havana we were directly warned).
Whilst these aren't as good as the Belicosos, which are perhaps my favourite of the range, they are certainly a decent analog, and being smaller I don't feel dizzy and nauseated afterward.
These babies are medium/full flavour - earthy, dark choc and spice - complemented perfectly by a glass of Islay whisky. I'm not completely sure why but generally I prefer to smoke these in the winter.

I agree with the previous reviewer, Andrew. These are not full bodied. However, the erroneous description aside these are an excellent cigar for me.
They last around 35 minutes, have a great even burn and a draw that doesn't require an industrial hoover attachment.
There is plenty of blue smoke and a warm, mellow taste that is consistent throughout and doesn't overpower. The ash is kept well for about half the smoke and is a pretty even colour.
I have smoked over 70 of these cigars and I haven't had a single runner or a plug and not one has required me to "manage" the smoke.
Brilliant and 5/5 from me!

I was looking to try something different & hopefully find my 'go to cigar' - and wow I think I've got it here! Really good construction on these, nice sweet aroma from the tobacco. On lighting there's a beautiful, easy glow and firm but good draw... few puffs in and the sweetness is already there, quite spicy & delicious! These only get better as you smoke, with light airy smoke coming from the end and enough on a deep pull through the mouth. No burn problems, I don't enjoy babysitting a cigar... but here there was so worries. Actually burned better then many other cigars 3x the price. Great value! If the second pack I bought are as good, I'll be back for more - 5 stars guys!

By no stretch of the imagination is this a full bodied or full strength cigar. It was very mild with a simple tobacco flavour and some very subtle sweet fruity flavours around the middle. The construction and burn were good and it lasted around 30-40 minutes. I won't be buying this one again.
