Backwoods Blue Cigars - Pack of 5
by Stuart
The Backwoods Blue Cigars are a really nice smoke at a reasonable price. They last about 20 minutes and have that familiar Backwoods flavour, just with a subtle hint of vanilla that makes them a bit smoother and sweeter. The draw is easy, and the flavour’s mild enough to enjoy without feeling heavy.
They’re not something I’d reach for every day, but they make a great once a week treat, something a bit different to mix in with your regular smokes. Overall, a tasty, easy going cigar that hits that middle ground between casual and special.

I was very disappointed with this purchase. The 1st cigar was a good smoke and I thought this was a steal for the price.
The 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th cigar were terrible smokes. The draw on the cigar was almost impossible as I was either straining to draw or had to keep trying to re-light the cigar. The outer fell apart on all of the cigars bar the 1st. The taste left in my mouth after each draw attempt was harsh and unsavoury. A very uncomfortable smoke and wasn't relaxing at all.
Would not recommend.

This was part of an Avo sampler offer and tried it a few nights ago. I'm not great at identifying different tastes in a cigar but picked up what seemed to be a lovely chocolate taste in the first part. Fairly loose draw but plenty of delicious smoke and burnt well. Thoroughly enjoyed this and would buy again.

The J. Cortes High Class Dominican Corona (White Tubed) is a nice, decent sized cigar that offers good value for money. It’s mild and smooth with no harshness or lingering aftertaste, which makes it an easy smoke, especially if you prefer something lighter. The construction’s solid, and the tube makes it handy to store without worrying about a humidor for a while.
For me though, it’s just a bit too mild. I found myself wishing for a bit more depth or a touch of sweetness on the lips, which this one doesn’t really have. Still, it’s a pleasant, uncomplicated cigar and a good option if you like mellow flavours or want something to enjoy without too much intensity.

First Gurkha heritage, straight cut. Beautiful smoke and kept ash extremely well. Good draw and pleasant flavour which was consistent throughout. Really impressed and will buy again as thoroughly enjoyed paired with a dark spiced rum

This was my first time trying Camacho and I was very pleasantly surprised. Well made, it burned straight and clean all the way down until the final third where I had to relight it once. I spent an enjoyable hour with this cigar and will be adding it to my rotation. Highly recommended if you have not tried these.
