BLACK FRIDAY - VegaFina 1998 50 Short Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Ali

Great cigar for the price point. Didn't start off great, but definitely started to come into its own in the last part. Great afternoon / summer smoke, not too long to get through. Little bit of a tight draw, which I personally don't like, but apart from that, a very good overall cigar. Only needing touching up once

Guantanamera Cristales Cigar - 1 Single by Lou

Beautiful sub 15 quid cigar.. slight canoe in the burn in the 1st third but was dealt with easily and burnt beautifully afterwards. Smooth mild flavours and earthy, deep rich roasted coffee, is what I got out of it. No bitterness towards the end, great draw and certainly as a intro into cuban this is superb for the money. With a nice leisurely smoke it lasted around 50mins paired with a black coffee and a small couple of chunks of dark chocolate..

Chateau Diadem Conviction Petit Belicoso Cigar - 1 Single by Ellis

I took a punt on the £10 mystery cigar and I wasn't disappointed. I left it in my humidor a week before lighting it up. It's not a vitola I would normally pick but it was a cracking smoke. Great construction and a really creamy taste on the retro-hale. Definitely worth a try. I paired it with an espresso.

Angelo Brushed Stainless Knife with Pipe Tools by Brian

3 stars for quality, 4+ stars for value. It's OK but I wish I had bought something better (and yes of course more expensive). Better, but not as much as I'd hoped, than the standard bent-metal things included in all the pipe "starter packs"

AVO Heritage Short Robusto ND Cello Cigar - 1 Single by Joshua

Received as part of a small AVO sampler pack. The 1st two 3rds were very harsh and bitter, needing constant touchups on one side. The final 3rd brought forward a nicer nutty spice that was more pleasant but the bitter taste was still there. Unfortunately this one was not enjoyable for me.

BLACK FRIDAY - Flor De Selva Aniversario No. 20 Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Barry

Well constructed, well packed, excellent draw, huge amounts of thick, white smoke, really slow burning. Perfect burn, ashed every inch or so to reveal a perfect cone, zero touch ups or relights, cut with a single V cut, had an excellent draw with just a touch of resistance. Lots of pepper and cedar upfront, shifts to slightly sweet honey and dried fruit as it warms up, some nutty coffee and spicy earth to finish.
