Cohiba Siglo I Cigar - 1 Single by Ash

I've never personally understood why Cohiba are right at the top of the food chain. I have tried two of them and was impressed by neither. They are nice enough, but are easily trumped in my book by many other cigars of lower cost. Of the two i tried, i very much prefer the Maduro 5 Secretos.

Partagas Serie P No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single by ian

piramides are my fav shape of cigars and this is 1 of the best by far. It is a big, busty, Beautiful brute. Perfectly constructed, smooth, strong and tasty. Great burn. It took me over an hour and a half to smoke with a bottle of Glayva. Perfect.

Cuaba Divinos Cigar - 1 Single by ian

I was a bit miffed at the shape and size of this cigar. Although it was a bit tight at the start it did begin to get a good draw part of the way down. I was surprised at how long it lated as it is so small. It was nice and earthy and surprisinglynstrong. A good little number for walking about.

Bolivar Belicosos Finos Cigar - 1 Single by ian

It would have to be a coin toss for me to choose between this cigar and the partagas no2 as my favorite piramides. Strong, creamy, sweet and pungent. Just the way I like it.

Montecristo Open Regata Cigar - 1 Single by ian

I was realy looking forward to this cigar because of its price, shape and gauge. It is a bit too mellow for me, it did have a good even burn but a strange tase towards the end.

Romeo y Julieta No. 1 Tubed Cigar - 1 Single by Antony

I have conflicting opinions about the No 1. I bought one on the off chance after enjoying the R+J No 3 and I was bitterly disappointed. As Adrian's comments below: the cigar tunneled; it wouldn't stay lit for any more than a minute; and after an initial good earthy taste, it then tasted of hot, burning charcoal just 1/4 or so into it. So imagine my apprehension when I received 3 of these as a gift. After making my excuses of how these cigars improve with age, I eventually found myself in a position when I had to smoke one. And it was an absolute revelation! It was everything it should have ever been. That earthy creaminess remained through the whole cigar, accompanied with changing undertones of coffee, chocolate, spice and even a hint of vanilla. I never had to re-light. The draw was (literally) breathtaking. So I find myself at somewhat of odds. I'm now onto the third of my three and they have been fantastic. But that first one still leaves doubt. My advice is definitely give the R+J No 1 a chance - but if you're looking for consistent quality, just be aware that these may disapp
