Will be buying again, im new to cigar smoking so thought this may be a good starting point. They are well constructed and low maintaince when lit. The ash holds for 2inches+. The flavours start out mild and creamywith a hint of sweetness. Then develops into a more complex smoke full of light leathery notes and sweet cedar. The final third improves on this and a sweet salty caramel flavour coats the inside of your mouth. I smoked it right down to the last inch and was very reluctant to stubb it when it started burning my lips

These are a great "utility" smoke. As they are machine-made, have a pre-cut cap and are tubed, you don't need to carry too many accessories to be able to enjoy a decent quality Cuban cigar. Simply get it out of the tube, light and you're ready to go. These aren't by any stretch the most flavoursome or "advanced" cigar in the world but for the price, the convenience and the quality they are very hard to beat indeed and at least the odd one or two will find their way into all of my future orders purely on this basis.

Ordered after a recommendation on Facebook as I must say I really enjoyed this cigar. As others have said, the draw is nice and effortless and the smoke thick and creamy. Yes, there isn't as much of a "development" of flavour as you're smoking as perhaps you would find on other cigars but the flavour is consistent right from the first lighting. A sort of chocolatey and slightly earthy flavour with a very subtle spice note. It's a fine looking, fine smoking cigar which still leaves you feeling "functional" after smoking. One I would definitely order again.

Jose L Piedra Petit Cetros Cigar - 1 Single
by matthew
The Cetros tastes like a cigar should ,strong & earthy.Nicotine kick is mild, it wont give you a headache.The best of it is it will last all day as it is tight rolled & keeps going out, but this leaves you with a flavoursome chew before relighting.

I am really sad to say me and this particular vitola haven't really had a great relationship. After giving it 3 attempts I had to declare this one a 'one-to-forget' cigar. I have a lot of respect for Partagas and have given a few other vitolas the time of day to re-instate a love for one of the most recognisable brands. (SerieD5 Limited Ed & Serie PNo.2 have both been FANTASTIC!).
I'd definitely need some convincing about these. The tastes were too earthy, too harsh and a bit too bitter for me, in all 3 sticks. I've seen really great reviews of these cigars. This goes to show the true beauty of the cigar community, I love how everyones pallet takes to different notes and flavours and truly respect this highly popular cigar.
Thanks for reading,

I'm a relative novice smoker , I've smoked for a while but am just now at the stage where I'm buying and storing cigars as well as smoking them as opposed to just "buy-smoke-repeat". What to say about the Punch Coronations? Visually this isn't an enormous cigar but it's certainly perfectly formed. While not having experienced a full range of different draws yet, I found this a very easy cigar to smoke. On lighting, the thick, white smoke billowed and almost filled the room on the first draw, the burn was even from end to end and the cigar didn't need relighting or any mid-smoke maintenance. The flavour started off quite mild, with almost a taste of how leather smells (if that makes sense), earthy and satisfying without being overpowering. Within about the first 1/3 of the cigar the flavour developed and I could pick up coffee notes with a not-too-spicy element which caught my palette with a bit of the sensation you'd experience after eating a lot of chocolate, dry yet somehow moist at the same time, but again - not unpleasant. All in all, I think this is a superb cigar for the money
