Got this cigar as a mystery premium cigar and I must say I was delighted! Notes of dark chocolate, coffee and spice and it smoked for 90 minutes! Enjoyed with a bottle of Argentinian Malbec which suited it perfect! Will defo be buying again!

Cohiba Exquisitos Cigar - 1 Single
by Martin
Got this as not tried this one before although like the cohiba range
It smelt lovely lit easily and did not require any touch ups with the draw not been too tight with lovely Cuban twang and lasted me over 30 minutes a lovely cigar

This is okay. As it has no casing or topping, it is very close to a cigar, and has a kick like one too. I quite enjoyed it but as a newer pipe smoker I am enjoying the uniqueness of flavoured tobacco more right now. This is probably one I'd go for when or if I become more of a tobacco purist (it made me think of an old codger smoke!). The room note still smells better than a cigar however!

Oh my word! What an absolute treat these have turned out to be. I've now smoked 5 of these from the box of 20 I ordered last month having previously had a couple of singles to try. Construction is excellent, though the burn line on a couple has gone a bit wayward once the first ash has dropped. Neither were so bad as to need touching up with the lighter though. All have been well rolled, with the draw being perfect every time and none have produced any loose tobacco once cut - I favour a V cut which suits these little flavour bombs well. That flavour is quite earthy and leathery with an edginess of black pepper and a hint of nutiness on the retro hale. I notice today that a lot of this make is out of stock. Hardly surprising that these are catching on given the quality for the price point. Now one of my favourites.

I really wanted to like this one. The tin note is incredible but just didn't transfer to the smoke. I was expecting quite a heavy topping flavour that just never showed up. A rare miss from C&D who normally deliver exactly what they say. This is a popular blend and perhaps my taste buds were on a break but none of the bowls I smoked gave me much flavour.

Not overly impressed by this one unfortunately. You get a mild darkness but there's very little else and what's there is lacking. There's better blends to get that nice full flavour, but maybe this is okay if you're dipping your toes in. The shag cut is fine but you still need to pack this somewhat light as I had trouble keeping it lit in a small bowl.
