This was my first time smoking this brand and I was impressed. It lasted approx. 30 mins, plenty of smoke and a pleasant taste over all (I got raisins and leather). I will certainly buy this again.

Cohiba Siglo I Cigar - 1 Single
by Harrison
The Cohiba Siglo I might be small, but it quickly became one of my favorite cigars I’ve smoked so far. From the very first draw, it just felt effortless, an all round creamy smoke, and flavors that seemed to flow naturally without me having to think too hard about them.
I picked up smooth notes of cedar, a little sweetness, and that signature Cohiba grassy touch that gives it such a refined feel. Its flavours are so clean and balanced that it feels far more special than its size suggests. The construction was flawless I see where the reputation comes from. The burn was exquisite, no touchups, just pure enjoyment from start to finish.
For me, this cigar is the definition of elegance in a small format. Quick enough for when time is short, but satisfying enough to feel complete. Truly effortless, and a cigar I’ll remember. One I’m excited to pick up and smoke again.

Sancho Panza Belicosos Cigar - 1 Single
by Harrison
I lit up a Sancho Panza Belicosos recently and really enjoyed the experience. Right from the start, it gave me earthy flavors with some cedar and a little sweetness in the background. As it burned, I picked up vanilla and a floral undertone, never too strong but enough to keep my interest peeked.
The draw was smooth and the smoke output was generous, which made it an easy, relaxing cigar to sit back with. Strength-wise, it’s a solid medium, balanced enough for almost any time of day. Only gripe would be the cigar band was severely misprinted.

Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Harrison
I recently smoked a Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto, and I have to say it really surprised me. Even though it’s a smaller cigar, it feels like a complete experience from start to finish. From the first light, I got this smooth creaminess with a little cedar in the background, very easygoing and classic Cuban in style.
As it burned, the flavours stayed light but interesting some floral notes, a touch of nuttiness, and just a little spice here and there. Nothing ever got too strong or harsh, which made it a very relaxing smoke. The draw was spot on and the burn stayed even the whole way through, no touch-ups needed.
What I like most is how versatile it is. With it being a mild cigar, I could see enjoying it with a morning coffee just as easily as after dinner. It’s not the longest smoke, but it doesn’t feel rushed either.
Overall, the Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto is one of those cigars that proves size doesn’t always matter it’s smooth, classy, and consistently enjoyable. I’d definitely reach for it again when I want something refined but not heavy.

The Inka Secret Blend Blue Robusto was an interesting smoke for me, especially as someone still at the early stages of getting to know different regions and blends. Being a Peruvian cigar, it stood out right away since most of my experiences so far have been Cuban or Nicaraguan. On the cold draw, there was a light earthiness and a hint of sweetness, almost like dried fruit. Once lit, the first third opened with smooth, mellow flavors—cedar, toast, and a touch of creaminess. It felt very approachable, which I appreciated.
As it developed, I started picking up more herbal notes mixed with nuts, and a little black pepper spice crept in to give it some character. The smoke was medium-bodied overall, not too light but not overpowering either. The construction was decent: the draw was consistent, though the burn line wavered here and there, requiring a minor touch-up. Midway through, there was a slightly bitter edge that came and went, but when it mellowed, the cigar returned to a balance of wood, earth, and soft sweetness.
It’s not the most complex cigar I’ve tried, but it offered e

I recently purchased the Robert Lewis sampler pack and this is the first one I've tried. Given this smoke I can't wait to try the rest from the range. It's a very smooth and cool smoke with a subtle sweetness. It also has a great aroma.
