Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - Pack of 5
by George
These have long been one of my favourite cigars to enjoy with an afternoon coffee. The classic Cuban flavour is smooth, rich, and never disappoints in taste.
Unfortunately, my most recent 5-pack was a letdown. Every stick had a tight draw and required frequent relighting, which took away from the overall experience. It’s a shame, because when they’re good, they’re truly excellent — but the inconsistent quality control makes it a gamble.

Flawless construction, wrapper is quite veiny but nice looking and oily to touch, nice cold draw with just a touch of resistance using a guillotine cut. Probably the sharpest burn I've seen in a long time, absolutely razor sharp. Ash holds on for 2-3cm revealing a perfect cone, zero relights or corrections needed. Somke is a touch thin but lovely and cool, fairly straightforward flavour with spicy black pepper upfront alongside wood and leather, some subtle sweetness in the background, no strength and light to low medium body. A absolute steal at this price point.

Exceptionally clean cut, absolutely zero tearing of the wrapper and completely straight. The serations on the blades grip the cigar ensuring superb accuracy, no blade wander or cuts at funny angles. Considerably larger than I imagined considering the absolute bargain price, feels really solid and well built, comfortable to use, the inbuilt steel cigar holder is a nice touch.

I hate typing up unfavourable reviews, but I think I got unlucky. Let me first stress that this review is unique in as far as it's the first to have been remotely negative as CGars.com have never let me down prior. Sadly this Plascencia was poor from the first cut using a V Cut with a good branded cutter. The wrapper basically fell to pieces and the smoke ended up being tarry and ridiculously harsh. I've had plascencia on many occasions and this surprised me as I've never had a poor one. What you must understand is that cigars are like cars, every now and again you get a lemon. Just to confirm the cigar was kept in my humidor at the perfect humidity and temp.

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.
