A well constructed stumpy looking cigar, with an excellent draw.
Tasted mild and creamy, that got a bit "hot" towards the very end.

I'm not a huge fan of Monticristo's and these didn't do anything for that opinion. The ash only held for less than half an inch and fell on me at least 3 times. The draw was very hard and the taste is nowhere near that of a Cohiba siglo IV which is a similar size cigar. Rather disappointed for the price of this cigar. It's looks mighty classy though.

Generally a nice cigar, above average smoke that lasted about an hour. Draw on the one I had was a bit tight, however it was well constructed and burned evenly.
Cigar started off mild, then got spicy and peppery at the mid point. Last third the spice become muted, and some sweetness came through with honey and floral notes developing on the palate.
I would have given this 3 & half stars, but rounded it down to 3, because I'm not keen on the spice/peppery notes.

These are an excellent mini cigar for a quick 10 minute coffee break packed full of Cuban tobacco taste and to my mind smoke cooler and less spicy than the Cohiba Mini's, if you carnt afford Cuban cigars on a regular basis then a couple of tins of these will give you the equivalent of over 3 hours of Cuban cigar taste that wont break the bank and you can steam off the sticker from the metal tin and use the same tin when going out.
If you have some money to spare I would highly recommend the Series D No.4 robusto and the Series P No.2 pyramid both are superb 5 star + cigars

If you enjoy the ritual of preparing and smoking your cigars, then the Maduro 5 Secretos will not disappoint. This truly is a thing of beauty to behold, with a rich, chocolate-coloured wrapper that displays superb totally hand-made construction and a wonderful odour.
The cigar toasts easily and produces wonderful quantities of smoke when it's being drawn, but virtually nothing when it's at rest. It has a medium to full body, with pepper being the overriding flavour.
The smoke is always smooth, never harsh, but the little Secretos is certainly full-strength, making me feel a little light-headed, but not in an overly unpleasant way.
I usually smoke only two thirds of my cigars, but this cigar kept on giving. Burn was a little inconsistent (I've smoked three of my box of 10 so far), but the ash remained firm and stayed in place for almost an inch - and more importantly the flavour stayed delicious throughout the 50 minutes or so they burn for.
Not for beginners - the strength is too much - but the Maduro 5 Secretos punches well above its weight. This is a quality cigar and i
