Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Mohammed
A superb cigar, very smooth from the first puff to the last. The taste was very nutty like almonds with hints of leather. I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar as I’m usually put off by the length of other cigars with this ring gauge as they take over an hour to smoke but this one can be enjoyed in 45min.

Partagas Serie D No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
Okay there are cigars with flavour, and there are cigars with flavour,and this is certainly the latter! The first few puffs simply released an explosion of spice, sweetness, leather, with hints of ginger and cinnamon, in an oily super smooth fire of peppers (without the heat of course!). The strength of the spice and richness of the flavours continued. Some floral tones creaping through in the after taste, with a lovely nutty roast. The tobacco is so damn rich and smooth that it literally felt like licking an ice-cream made from pure warm roasted Cuban leaf! Creamy and earthy flavours were also evident. Just a multi-tude of character beaming from this cigar! Even finding the leather rich, creamy and smooth that it just adds to the whole experience makeup.
Overall, this is one of only a few cigars I have smoked that rigorously drowns you in a rich stew of flavours. Only problem was its increasingly feathery structure that did seem to collapse by the final few inches, resulting in multiple puffs just to get a good amount of smoke in it. Sadly more puffs per draw equated to an increase

Pretty decent value cigar for a beginner. The smoke was a bit on the thin side for me personally, but flavour was decent and quite chocolatey. It burned evenly and didn't go out at all. Wouldn't necessarily be top of my list to buy again, but equally wouldn't be put off in the future.

It's a cliche but you really do get what you pay for. This doesn't compare with any of the other (handful) of Cubans I've tried but it is less than half the price too. Not the nicest looking wrapper. Pre lighting the aroma is smooth and a little woody but with no particular character being given away. Once lit the same applies. The flavour to me was plain and became spicy at around half way. Fairly tight draw but cool, smooth smoke and not at all unpleasant. Lasted about half an hour. Would recommend as an good everyday sort of cigar.

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
I enjoyed this cigar very much. I am very new to cigars but after trying some smaller cigarillos first I found this to be far superiour and quite mild which I enjoyed. It lasted a good amount of time for me as I don't often have alot of free time to enjoy but it wasn't over too quickly. I'd certainly recommend it for the price. What to try next is my only problem!
