Bought a 3 pack of these H.Upmann Cigars - Now I smoke nothing else!!
The light flavours and textures definetly suit my personal tastes, great construction and an even burn with matches makes these baby's easy to smoke and enjoy!
I've tried Churchills, Cohiba's and Punch cigars but as of a few weeks past I decided to make these my only purchase from now on - just the ideal length and ring size, a manly looking cigar but one that won't pete you out like a super Habano.
Weather your new to cigars or just want something different, lighter in texture than a hard smoke maybe? - these H.Up mann's are a real treat.
Can't wait to order more in the future, this box of 10 are on the top of my wish list.

Cohiba Behike BHK 52 Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
A cigar that every aficionado, and at least everyone who enjoys cigars should try and judge for themselves. Okay, the presentation is perfection in a cigar, setting the bar for construction and size. The draw was easy and the aroma spicy and tobacco-listic (if that is a word!)!
Initially there was a hint of nuttiness and light peppers, and exceptionally smooth. It tasted, for me, surprisingly light in strength and medium in body, having the same blandness as a Robusto T with hardly any bitterness, with smoke enough to satisfy your average cigar smoke lover, not too much to overwhelm a room.
The middle portion brought out a roasted, toasty caramel flavour, hints of cedar, and peppers increasing slightly, while maintaining that super smooth kick. However towards the final 1/3 the flavours did intensify becoming more medium to full bodied (for me at least!), bringing out hints of fruitiness, nutty almonds, sweetness, and a thicker smoke. Yet the stick did leave my mouth rather dry and salty.
As for the ash, it did start off smooth with some flakiness, but toward the middle and

Not to my taste; I much prefer a Chinchalero Chico.

Had a couple of these whilst on holiday in Cuba and decided to bring a few back as presents for non-cigar smokers as they cost around £2 each there. The tobacco is not the best but it is at least 100% Cuban, machine rolled so quite loose and inconsistent but relatively even burning if a little quick and stored in unsealed cheap plastic tubes and often not in humidores so often a little dried out. It's a good cheap souvenir cigar for the tourists who otherwise wouldn't bother. If a fiver is your budget then you are better off with a smaller but better quality cigar.

Highly enjoyable cigar, lots of flavour and intensity nearing the end - however I think the taste was somewhat uneven, nearing bitter from the beginning to middle. It almost felt like work, hurrying up till the very end where all the sweet spots and delicate vanilla flavour comes through.
I didn't smoke all the way, gave up nearing the end - wouldn't buy this length again as it's just too long for my taste.
This and the bitterness at the start, possibly because I hadn't aged the cigar too long, would put me off buying another right away, but I'd definetly try one again when it's more mature and ready for smoking.
The P+P with CGarsltd, as always is fantastic - high quality packing and first class service!

Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single
by David
At the old price, this was a steal. At the new price, it is still a great value cigar. There is some variation in quality from cigar to cigar, but at this price I guess you have to expect it. I have tried lots of different cigars in the 4 -10 pounds range from this site and I keep coming back to this cheaper version for all round enjoyment and value. This cigar is well wrapped, clean and tasty. It is like a good Southern Rhone Valley wine: it is unlikely to make you want to go and wake up the wife to get her to share in the experience like you would with a good claret, but if you want a midweek evening smoke with a glass of scotch, or want something to help you focus at the poker table, this is the cigar for you. It can taste a little green at times and can burn a little hot, but it is two and a half quid. You want excellence, you pay more. You want a good smoke? Then you could do a lot worse than this.
