Cohiba Siglo I Tubed Cigar - 1 Single by Peter

The Summer is fast approaching and will soon be time for out door herfing, I would highly recommend the Cohiba Siglo I for any such occasion it is a superb small forty or so minutes cigar with lots of spicy coffee bean taste with an excellent draw and a great aroma I have had nothing but compliments from guys wanting to know what i am smoking, if you buy the tubos version the tube is a work of art and you can recycle the tube(s) when you order the cheaper cardboard box version. PS thanks for the compliment Tim and commend your choice of cigar certainly starting at the top perhaps will try one day when i win the lottery :-).

Cohiba Behike BHK 54 Cigar - 1 Single by Tim

I can't write about cigars with as much knowledge as previous reviewer(s) but this cigar was utterly superb. Started mild but flavorful and ended with a good spice. Even towards the end there was no unpleasant after taste and it was a shame to consign it to the ash tray.

Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill Cigar - 1 Single by Peter

If you are looking for a cigar with an effortless draw, with lots and lots of taste i.e. all the flavors of Churchill's favorite cigar with a medium body throughout suitable for all then look no further, this superbly constructed and decadently looking cigar follows the current trend towards the larger ring gauge cigar and once tried i don't think you will ever return to the petit coronas, with an excellent burn and an intoxicating aroma this cigar is an indulgence from beginning to end, ideal for any special occasion or just one and half hours of sheer bliss.

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single by Tim

The Ford Mondeo of cigars - capable, reasonably priced, does the job, leaves you wanting a Cuban. :-) Actually, it's a perfectly reasonable smoke, I'm just spoilt by being introduced to the world of cigars by packs of the Cohiba Siglo II bought back from Cuba by a friend.

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Tubed Cigar - Pack of 3 by Peter

A Tight draw is a consequence of the individual cigar roller and not the cigar it's self, any hand made cigar whether Cuban or Non Cuban can have a tight draw especially if the roller is inexperienced and the sad fact is that buying several single cigars especially at the same time will usually come from the same box and same roller so every body takes the same risk and the only indication your cigar may have a hard draw is feeling hard spots or knots especially around the band and cap area. HOW TO DEAL WITH A PLUGGED HARD TO DRAW CIGAR, When the cigar wrapper is applied starting at the foot and ending at the cap the wrapper is twisted like an old fashioned sweet wrapper, cut then pushed into the end to form a flat surface for the cap to be applied, if too much of twisted wrapper is pushed into the head of the cigar it can become plugged, SO HOW TO REDUCE / ELIMINATE HARD DRAW (1) Try rolling the head and band area between your thumb and four finger for about 30 seconds this may loosen the the plugged tobacco (2)Cut the cigar again further down the cap but above the cap rim (3)If (1
