I bought a sampler of these and tried the chubby first. This was partly due to my preference for shorter cigars in this weather but also because the outer wrapper was cracked. It may be the postmans eager method of delivery but it did get me thinking just how premium this would be given it came in cellophane. This was quickly dispelled however as the quality came through after the first puff. The fillers lost no shape without the wrapper. It lit very easily which is contrary to my experience with other similar size cigars. That burn was even throughout though which was another indication of the quality.
In terms of flavour, first came a huge kick of spicy and earthy notes. It did mellow out after about 15 min though and ended with some good hints of cocoa. Each puff produced a huge amout of smoke. About the same as three or four on the average corona as a result of the of the ring guage. All in all a decent cigar. As a lover of sweeter blends like r and j or hoyo, I'm not sure I would invest in a box but I'll reserve full jugement until I try the others in the range.

Superb! A truly interesting smoke, something completely different to the norm. Will definitely be buying more!

Cohiba Siglo IV Cigar - 1 Single
by Kirk
I tried my first one today and have to say I was rather disappointed. It appears to have been a dud one. Extremely hard draw, had to re-light many, many times - and the burn was probably the most uneven I've experienced so far. This was in stark constrast to the Cohiba Behike 52 I tried not too long ago which was perfect in every way.
I'll try a few more of these, as I'm confident it was a bad one - but it was extremely disappointing.

Starts off with coffee nibs and spice, softening towards the middle and then developing into round and balanced flavours.

I have just had one of these in the Cambridge store, and found it to be a lovely well balanced smoke. Spicy on the tongue with strong coffee notes for the 1st inch, it then slowly goes into a smooth woody smoke. As I said very well balanced.well done a winner.

Oliva Orchant Seleccion Sampler - 3 Cigars
by Anthony
Took delivery of a sampler pack and a box of 10 Shorties on Monday. I am what was described as a 'Newbie' to the world of cigars and have been working my way through a variety of Cuban and New World Cigars since May last year. I had one of these last night for the first time and can honestly say that it was of of my most enjoyable smokes so far. Cut and then smoked over a leisurely 55 minutes, the draw was consistent, it retained its ash without the need to relight and had a wonderful smooth taste and flavour through to the end.
I am still finding my favourite from the array of quality cigars available but this is definitely high on my list!
