Cohiba Siglo I Cigar - Pack of 5
by Peter
This is the first Cohiba I have had above the Club size and have to say for such a small cigar they are like Dr Who's Tardis small on the outside but wow what flavor creamy fruity beautifully smooth, the draw was excellent and a lovely aroma a great looking small cigar with the iconic Cohiba band a very pleasant 30 to 40 minutes smoke will determinately be buying more of these and paying that little bit extra to get a tubos one just to get the beautiful tube.

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single
by Daniel
A straight forward and simple smoke, excellent value for money.

I bought these on the basis that they would potentially be a shortened version of the full Churchill which is a beautiful cigar and smoke, the cigar it's self looks good with a well defined triple cap, upon lighting the draw was perfect but gradually got tighter, I think these cigars contains an excessive amount of tar that builds up in the cigar reducing the draw, the flavor is of toasted tobacco at first then a fruity citrus taste that ensues to the end, a big problem was severe uneven burning issues which could not be solved by rotating the cigar, I had to keep using my lighter to burn off the uneven rapper, I have smoked 3 of 10 and this has happened to all three cigars, I also think the tar coats the inside of your mouth thus reducing the ability to taste, the cigar also went out twice thus having to relight, to my mind there is no comparison to the full Churchill which I enjoy immensely, the ring gauge is also thicker 50 compered 47 and is a bit intimidating, will smoke another 3 or 4 then put another review on but at the moment I am not to overly impressed with these cigars

Xikar Xi1 Cigar Cutter - Silver
by Peter
Well you learn something new every day, My Xikar wedge cutter was closing unevenly when not cutting, always closed more at one side than the other so the cutting action was uneven, my partner said why not soak the cutter in baby oil in a small bowl over night, I did has she said and left the opened cutter in the oil overnight and now the cutting action is even as both blades close together evenly the oil removed fine particles of grit and all the tobacco residue, the cutter is like new now, I think all cutters would benefit from doing this probably once a month.

Jose L Piedra Petit Cetros Cigar - 1 Single
by Stephen
Came here to edit my review but I can't so I'm writing another. Bought 5 of these as the first one I had was okay and at this price... I won't be buying any more. I've smoked 3 of them so far. First one was a very hard draw, but manageable, second was okay but the third was completely unsmokeable. It was almost impossible to draw on so it kept going out and the wrapper had unravelled *completely* by the time I got half way so I threw what was left away. I never thought I would get one that was that bad. It was embarrassing, frankly. If they can be that bad I wouldn't even keep them to give away.

Bought this cigar which looked box pressed as one of three which I purchased Monday 16/04 using C.Gars FREEPOST offer first ever Ramon but alas will be my last, the draw was very good but all I got was hot pepper all the way through and non of the tastes that other reviewers state not my cup of tea will try the Punch Tres Petit Corona tomorrow and write a review on that
