Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single by Nicholas

I bought a couple of these based on the reviews. I wanted a slim, quick cigars for when cigars are not welcome and one has to speed one in. I was hoping to find an alternative to the Arturo Fuente Exquisito I bought in the states, but can't find here. Have to say that you get what you pay for. I found this cigar very second rate. No depth, maturity or complexity. i.e. no fun. Very disappointing in my books. My opinion only.

Montecristo Open Regata Cigar - 1 Single by Nicholas

I know many people say this cigar lacks maturity. I have been smoking it every other day recently, alternating with a Montecriso No 2. True, it is not a No 2, but still a fabulous smoke. The draw is easy, the smoke rich and satisfying with no nasty bitterness. Even near the end, it is pleasing and one of the few cigars I know, that I truly am sad to put out. I love it and urge people to at least try it.

Cohiba Siglo VI Cigar - 1 Single by Joshua

I have been an avid smoker of a variety of the Montecristo range for a fair while, and a friend suggested trying a Cohiba. Having read the reviews on the Siglo VI I opted for 3 to pop in my humidor. Today was a lovely afternoon so I thought it was time to light up a Siglo VI, from the size a gauge of the cigar I was expecting a much heavier smoke, that is not to say I was disappointed. It is full of flavour and very smooth, alot of the Monte's I smoke tend to suffer from uneven burn, this burnt true all the way down, and was never close to being relit. The taste develops through the smoke and lingers nicely. I am so impressed by the sheer quality of this first Siglo VI that I have ordered a box of 25 after my first one, and am now going to try a few more in the Cohiba range. This is a truly GREAT cigar, streets ahead of all the Montecristo's I have tried.

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - Pack of 5 by Joshua

The Monte number 4 is one of the easiest cigars to smoke. I keep mine slightly more humid than other cigars as I find this improves them for my taste. Any one wanting to try a Cuban for the first time should go for a Monte number 4, they are great and not overly complex or too long.

Guantanamera Cristales Cigar - Pack of 5 by Antony

I didn't enjoy these! I only had room in the humi for four, and so smoke the fifth one first. It was just harsh. There was no subtle interplay of flavours, just a smokey burning charcoal type flavour. I did think I may just have had a bad one, so smoked the others some time later and although better, they still left a lot to be desired. They have a great price point, but once you try them, you very soon understand why the price is so low. Not for me.

Cohiba Exquisitos Cigar - 1 Single by Andy

Very tasty smoke, full strength with a superb aroma. Easy draw, stayed lit. Tunnelled about 3/4 of the way down which suprised me for such a narrow gauge cigar. All the same was a very pleasant 30 minutes of smoking pleasure.
