Cohiba Siglo II Cigar - 1 Single by Simon

I'm new to cigar smoking but really enjoyed the Siglo II with late evening Aguardente in Portugal back in the autumn. Not as strong as I was anticipating but a real good full flavour and a fantastic burn. Will buy & smoke this beauty again!

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single by arthur

I have happily made a return to cigars after a 15 year absence and ordered a few samplers,this being one of them. A good solid example, which took a bit of keeping flowing to begin with, needing a litle effort to maintain a decent draw, but once past the initial first inch, it gained in flavour and I really enjoyed it. Not too strong but full of flavour throughout. For the price I strongly recommend it and will certainly order more.

Cohiba Robustos Cigar - 1 Single by MATTHEW

Like many before me this was my first venture into Cuban cigars and I was not put off by its full, spicy flavour. Its fair to say that as Robusto's go its a yardstick to measure by but in recent years I have noticed a slight increase in construction inconsistencies, in particular tight rolls and the odd plug and at this price point (and with the brands reputation) this needs addressing. When all is said and done a good Cohiba Robusto is very very good .... worth comparing with the Partagas Serie D No.4 and the new Montecristo Open Master.

Montecristo Edmundo Cigar - Box of 25 by MATTHEW

Duncan's review tempted me to comment on the Edmundo. In my humble opinion it is one of the finest cigars Montecristo has ever produced .... but as many have already suggested it needs time to mature. Straight of a new box they give little in terms of flavour .... time in the humidor improves taste and burn dramatically and a little experimentation leads me to suggest that 20c and 70% are the magic numbers. Two years in they are fabulous ...

Bolivar Royal Corona Cigar - 1 Single by MATTHEW

I cant disagree with reviewers comments in relation to flavour but its fair to say I have had issue with the BRCs construction on a regular basis. In the box they consistently look fabulous but their performance when lit can vary wildly .... from the solidly plugged to the odd alarmingly fast burner. Good examples are undoubtedly fine cigars but I've thrown too many away after 5 minutes and several cuts to award top marks.
