Montecristo Open Eagle Cigar - 1 Single by stuart

Ok, so the build quality of this cigar is flawless and the aroma coming off this cigar got my taste buds drooling but unfortunately it seemed to lack any flavor. Although from the outside this cigar looked to have a flawless construction I was disappointed that it was a bit of a wind tunnel to draw on. However, I would not say that this is a bad cigar, I feel that I may have just been unfortunate to get a slightly dud one. I did smoke the cigar to the end but wasn't a wow smoke. I have already purchased another and will review again in due course.

Partagas Serie D No. 4 Cigar - Box of 25 by Michael

Currently working my way through a box from Nov '10.Simply sublime cigars! They're never going to win any contests for their aesthetic appeal but the true beauty,as it should,lies within the wrapper.Sweet spice and the classic Cuban white pepper,much as you'd expect from the marque,but also some glorious and quite unexpected Digestive biscuit (Gram cracker) flavours in the first 1/3 and beautiful dark chocolate notes weaving their way in and out throughout the duration.This smoke is worth every penny of the price.Spend some time with it,you'll be very glad you did!!

Caliber V - Digital Hygrometer Thermometer by Peter

A very common question answered, Do I remove my box of 25 tubed cigars from their tubes before putting them in my humidor, the answer is YES, so what's the reasoning behind this definite answer, Tobacco is an Hygroscopic material which has the ability to absorb or release moisture depending on it's local environment if the environment is humid the cigar will absorb moisture until it equalizes with the environment if the environment is dry the cigar will release moisture, so that's the science lesson finished, the next variable is quality control in an ideal world all tubed cigars would contain the ideal moisture level and the sealed tube would maintain this but we don't live in an ideal world so you have the possibility of tubed cigars even out of the same box being under humidified, ideal or over humidified, so basically you take pot luck as to the condition of your tubed cigars, so what do i do to get consistency, put the untubed cigars in a correctly set up humidor around 68 RH and around 18c temperature, from the science lesson the under humidified cigars will take on moisture an

Montecristo Open Regata Cigar - 1 Single by stuart

I was dissapointed with this montecristo. Did not feel like i was smoking a cuban cigar, espsecially not a monte but more of a cheap cigar behind the counter in a corner shop. Very sad and will not be smoking this again.feel free to try though.

Cohiba Coronas Especiales Cigar - 1 Single by Alistair

Castro's favourite and I can see why. Although the draw feels tight the burn is even and its light yet creamy smoke plentiful enough for you to get over this. As far as flavour goes, this cigar exibits the typical Cohiba spice but with a much sweeter chocolate note than in any other Cohiba I've tried. Earthy coffee flavours become prominent after the first 1/3 (following the chocolate 'topping' its like the cappucinno of cigars!). I'd love to be able to say that this is a perfect every day smoke, however at £16 a stick, I'm not that flush... still, this will go down as a firm favourite (hopefully the one I've left in the humidor will be even better).
