Partagas Serie D No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
Okay there are cigars with flavour, and there are cigars with flavour,and this is certainly the latter! The first few puffs simply released an explosion of spice, sweetness, leather, with hints of ginger and cinnamon, in an oily super smooth fire of peppers (without the heat of course!). The strength of the spice and richness of the flavours continued. Some floral tones creaping through in the after taste, with a lovely nutty roast. The tobacco is so damn rich and smooth that it literally felt like licking an ice-cream made from pure warm roasted Cuban leaf! Creamy and earthy flavours were also evident. Just a multi-tude of character beaming from this cigar! Even finding the leather rich, creamy and smooth that it just adds to the whole experience makeup.
Overall, this is one of only a few cigars I have smoked that rigorously drowns you in a rich stew of flavours. Only problem was its increasingly feathery structure that did seem to collapse by the final few inches, resulting in multiple puffs just to get a good amount of smoke in it. Sadly more puffs per draw equated to an increase

Montecristo Open J Cigar - 1 Single
by Mohammed
An OK cigar, nothing spectacular. The construction was quite light compared to other cigars that i have smoked of similar size. First few puffs were a bit harsh but then things mellowed out. Not a bland cigar, quite spicy but i was expecting a bit more considering the price and name. Maybe i had too high hopes for this.

I'm a big fan of RYJ, so when it came to celebrate I took one of these to a ball to have after my dinner. I have to say it was one of the best cigars i had. The the cigar length and gauge was excellent, a substantial cigar that felt well in your had as you took some nice relaxed puffs with your chosen drink. The smoke itself wasn't harsh, which is the reason i like RYJ but it was far from bland. A very creamy and vanilla like taste with a tingle on the tongue as you blow the smoke out.
I retained my tube as it felt a waste to bin it but i have ordered more ,so its great to carry your cigar without damaging it. Would recommend this cigar to anyone without hesitation

Pretty decent value cigar for a beginner. The smoke was a bit on the thin side for me personally, but flavour was decent and quite chocolatey. It burned evenly and didn't go out at all. Wouldn't necessarily be top of my list to buy again, but equally wouldn't be put off in the future.

It's a cliche but you really do get what you pay for. This doesn't compare with any of the other (handful) of Cubans I've tried but it is less than half the price too. Not the nicest looking wrapper. Pre lighting the aroma is smooth and a little woody but with no particular character being given away. Once lit the same applies. The flavour to me was plain and became spicy at around half way. Fairly tight draw but cool, smooth smoke and not at all unpleasant. Lasted about half an hour. Would recommend as an good everyday sort of cigar.
