I love full bodied robustos, so it's no surprise that this a huge favourite for me! From the first touch of flame it gives off sweet and powerful cocoa flavours with occasional hints of aniseed. The second and final thirds remain sweet and smooth while developing leather and spice undertones. The aniseed notes from the first third remain prominent in the finish. If you also like powerful, heavy gauge cigars I'd strongly recommend trying one of these. They're particularly popular with fans of the classic Partagas Serie D No.4 who fancy a bit of a change. -Calum, Turmeuas Chester

This mixture is specially designed for those who enjoy smoking their pipe contuniously throughout the day,
The fragrance and charm of this mixture is never lost whilst smoking.
This tobacco is very similar in quality and grade to Rattray's Red Rapparee however with a slight difference in the blend to accomodate the continuous smoker.
This is a perfect companion to a fastidious smoker.

This was one of the first pipe tobacco blends I ever tried and I find myself returning to it again and again. I find it to be the ideal balance of aromatic and natural tobacco flavours. It can occasionally be slightly sharp when first lit, but very quickly settles down into a wonderfully mellow smoke, giving notes of honey, nut and chocolate with a delicate room aroma. This is an ideal smoke for people who are looking for a sweet aromatic blend, but find the American style aromatics to be too heavily scented. Also very well suited for beginners, or as an early morning smoke as it is very forgiving on the palate. -Calum, Turmeaus Chester.

From looking at its formidable 60 ring gauge and dense filler it would be fair to assume that this is an extremely intense cigar. However, once lit it may surprise you with its initially subtle flavours. There is a rich sweetness that gradually develops through the first two thirds, with occasion hints of fruitiness. Once into the final third the sweetness and the intensity get turned up to 11, with classic roasted coffee notes coming through. The construction is impeccable and the ash holds well throughout. I find these usually last about 40 mins for me, but I've known people to make them last well over an hour before! Highly recommended, particularly for the price! - Calum, Turmeaus Chester

The Behike 52 is unquestionably one of my favourite cigars. Its perfect wrapper -finished with a twist for added elegance - and enticing aroma let you know you're in for something special before it's even lit.
Once burning, the rare Medio Tiempo leaf makes itself apparent very quickly. The size and location of Medio Tiempo means it is highly concentrated with tobacco oils and natural sugars. The result is a very uniquely tasting cigar: powerful, yet smooth and sweet. I always think "Spice and Caramel" when smoking one. This naturally intensifies as the cigar is smoked, but never becomes too overwhelming.
They are classed as full bodied cigars, but the flavours are so perfectly balanced I would never hesitate to recommend these to newbies and aficionados alike!
