Montecristo Puritos Cigar - Pack of 5
by Alexander
OK here goes. If you want an affordable everyday smoke, and are looking at these in preference to, say, the Hamlet range then 100% go for it, they are a great deal nicer. However, do not be under the illusion that these are on the same level as a handmade Monte, they simply aren't in terms of flavour or construction. Still, with that caveat, can heartily recommend these.

Romeo y Julieta Petit Julietas Cigar - 1 Single
by Alexander
Honestly? For me, only marginally better than a Monte Purito. More carefully constructed and slightly more interesting to taste. But not at the price. For a more affordable cigar, heartily recommend INKA range in preference to this.

Romeo y Julieta No. 3 Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Alexander
A class act. My example was carefully constructed and spot on in terms of draw required. Flavours included pleasing hints of leather, none overpowering but interesting nonetheless. Lives up to the reputation overall.

Romeo y Julieta Petit Churchill Cigar - 1 Single
by Alexander
The draw was quite tight initially, but loosened up about halfway through. Otherwise construction was good. Flavour was consistent, not unpleasant but certainly kept things on the simple side.

Inka Secret Blend Blue Petit Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Alexander
Mixed emotions here, predominately positive though!
The good:
The flavours were all there for me, with surprisingly sophisticated developments in taste making themselves known as time went on. I'm confident that for many this would easily pass for an expensive Cuban on a blind test.
The bad
Unfortunately, the construction was pretty appalling! The thin wrapper leaves disintegrated entirely about halfway through, and near the end I was essentially left grasping just a handful of loose leaves! However, I plan to persevere and try another, in the hope that it will be just as enjoyable, if a little more durable.

Im only a novice to cigar smoking but myself and the wife have just had our first No4. We both found it a wonderful smoke, good burn, very pleasant taste and consistant throughout. I will definately be repeating the experience. I have a number 2 to try now , when I find the time :)
