This cigar was recommended to me yesterday for my "birthday smoke", and I must admit it was wonderful.
I have not smoked many cuban's and the ones I have were too strong for me but the Epicure Especial is "just right".
No problem with the lighting up, smooth easy draw with even burn and a very pleasant taste.
All in all, this is a mild cigar but mild in a cuban is like medium in other cigars I have tried and for me this was perfect.
Highly recommended.

I recieved one of these in a gift box and when I first lit it, I can't say I really enjoyed it. I must of had a dud, or it probably tunnelled, because I cut the burning end off (shun!) and went back to it the next day, lit it up, and WOW. All of the flavours kicked in and completely brought my mouth to life! My stick must have been a dud, as I'm sure they are normally fantastic. All in all, great Cuban cigar for beginners.

First of all I must say this cigar was very surprising in a very pleasant way. Thought it might be a bit too much, however it was a wonderful cigar to smoke. Considering its size, the length, the cigar lasted up to an hour. Its a very pleasent smoke and very good value. From the start you can taste the sweetness and the chocolaty flavour. The amount of smoke it produces is wonderful and is consistent. The aroma also gives a sweet smell. I would say the perfect time to smoke this is after dinner. You can consider it to be your desert. I think I shall be ordering a few of these for the humidor and share it amongst friends after a nice dinner. Very smooth cigar.

This is a great little cigar. Mild flavours with a background of wood and earth throughout. There were a few flavour changes, most notably a dark chocolate flavour in the second third that was followed by tingly spice into the final third.
The burn was almost perfect throughout and needed no touching up. the draw was perfect for my personal preference, some resistance but not as much as is made out with the reviews I've seen.
The only drawback for me would be the flavours could have been more pronounced. But other than that it was 25 mins of pure pleasure.
I believe I will be purchasing a few more of these for the winter months when I can't be out in the garden for too long due to the cold.

I love these cigars and i smoke a fair few on different orders and have never been disapointed. They have a lovely vein free wrapper and a good solid construction to them, more importantly a great taste with a good even smoke from start to finish, and for this gauge and length a good 25 -30 min smoke. I have tried these with different rums and wiskies and it seems to go very well with my favourite few. Try these and i'm sure you'll be happy especially at this price. 5 stars all round.

I'm a solid Montecristo man. However the bank balance doesn't allways allow me to indulge this as much as I might like. I was a bit dubious but thought CGars exclusive - they can't be that bad! Wow what a surprise a great cigar, a solid spicy flavour, easy to light, smooth and stayed alight and even throughout.
If your on a bit of a budget save your Montecristo or Cohiba for that special evening, and have a few of these in the humidor. Great!
