The blue J Cortex were my first cigars and even after smoking some much higher quality and better tasting smokes I still go back to them for a cheap somewhat woody bitter but not overly bad smoke. The Honduran however, I found to be quite a horrible smoke.
I got plenty of smoke and the cigar was actually quite well constructed however the taste was horribly bitter. So much so that by the half way point I really was not enjoying the smoke. I'm told this is milder than the blue but it did not taste that way to me in the slightest. An even burn topped this off as the worst cigar I have purchased from this site, well not too my taste anyway.

I know this is one of the cheapest cigars on here an probably not many people have tried this but as a newbie I'm trying everything to work out my favourites.
At first light this really tasted and smelled like a cigar but after a few puffs this settled into what it is. A cheap cigar, not greatly constructed but not the worst smoke ever. Similar to UK newsagent cigars but perhaps slightly better.
The taste was very woody but went well with some honey rum - it was the bitter after-taste that wasn't so good. Not the best obviously but also not the very worst.

Thought I'd give these a try as there are days when I fancy a puff but don't have time for my usual robusta. Have to say that I was pleasantly surprised! At first a little non-descript however the flavour improved as the smoke went on to become very earthy and woody. I imagine that I will get some more of these to keep handy for those time pressured moments when one really needs a puff to get you through.

Just tried the Partagas brand (in this size) for the first time. Wow! What a cigar. Lots of creamy smoke and delicious, medium, sweet tobacco flavours, which lasted over an hour. Smooth smoke throughout. Had to relight twice but this was easily done and did not detract from what was a fantastic smoking experience.

I am a big fan of Oliva Serie V cigars. They are easily my favourite, with plenty of smoke and chocolate tones. Beautifully constructed with a wonderful draw that is not too loose. This limited cigar is fantastic and I strongly recommend that fans of the Serie V snap them up. My only criticism is that I wish they would last longer.

I think my novice palette is not quite ready for these cigars. Nice half hour smoke, even burn, good draw but the change of flavours was a little wasted on my. To begin with it was kind of paper like, then sweeter flavours before deeper nearly dark chocolate like. Think I will return to these after a few more practice sessions!
