Alec Bradley Texas Lancero Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
Received one of these as a Birthday Present, last Year, and have just got around to sampling it.
Definitely the biggest Ring Guage, I've sampled to Date, and at least I can now say that I've tried one.
Plentiful Smoke Output, but an extremely Tight Draw throughout
Notes of Coffee and Leather to begin, but then a bitter flavour into the final 3rd, where a hint of Sweettness crept in.
Well constructed, and the Ash came away in a large Chunk, towards the end of the 2nd Third.
Whilst I'm glad I sampled this Cigar, it's performance doesn't reflect its price, so I unfortunately won't be purchasing another.

Impeccable construction throughout. The burn required no touch-ups, and the ash held firm in one-inch chunks. The draw was consistent and responsive. A really lovely Cigar and highly recommend for an all round smoke.

I received this cigar as part of my monthly subscription in June , so it’s sat waiting, and to day was the day to light it up .I read the Description and tasting notes and my cigar did its job
From the start I had construction issues, which was a surprise as the notes on the webpage talk about High Quality , but I might have been just unlucky, but I had a nice smoke with nothing to shout about , good ash and it was fine up to the final 3rd, when the outer wrapping just gave up .
It had been stored correct.
Would I buy one…
No it’s not for me …
But I would strongly recommend the monthly subscription box as it exposes you to cigars you might not pick , and I’ve had far more good to very good cigars than average ones..

I love this cigar. From a beginners view, the Don Pepin Lanceros is pleasant and enjoyable, from that first smoke when you light up, to the last. The Lanceros for me is most satisfying for a couple of hours relaxing with a nice whisky, for when you need a long time out to enjoy a nice cigar and a bit of peace and quiet. It is quite a mellow and flavourful in taste that invites relaxation.

For a sub £20 cigar, this is fantastic. A bit tight on the draw (which doesn't bother me, but I could see it bothering others) but otherwise well constructed. Wrapper in particular seems very robust.
Taste wise you're looking at medium+ with dark chocolate and some leather. Deceptively smooth. If you like a stronger cigar but aren't a fan of pepper notes you'd like this.
Forgot to time the session, but 40\45 mins seems right.
Will buy again

Xikar VX2 G10 V Cutter - Red
by Alan
When in your hand you realise this is a serious piece of equipment. You may think it pricey, the price of a couple of high-end cigars. I soon found out that such is the quality of its cut that it can make a £20 cigar give the pleasure of one twice the price. No irritation from uneven surfaces or loose strands of tobacco.
Improves flavour and draw, all in all a very good investment.
