Super oily, coats the lips and fingers, smoke is brilliant white and super thick. Impressive looking cigar, beautiful dark wrapper. Really spicy with black pepper and a potent throat hit, lots of cedar alongside some roasted nut and strong espresso coffee. Impeccable construction, well packed so quite a tight draw, really needs a guillotine cut to open it up, ash held on for a good inch, slightly wavy burn but no corrections needed. Definitely worth buying a few of these.

A very pleasant and mild smoke. Creamy and easy going.

The Signature Original (ex-Cafe Creme Yellow) is a step up in strength compared to the Blue version. You get more nicotine and a fuller flavour, which makes it feel more like a “proper” smoke despite its small size. They’re still only a quick one, usually 3–5 minutes, so they work well for short breaks when you don’t have the time for a bigger cigar.
Flavour wise, they’re smooth but noticeably stronger than the Blues, with a slightly richer tobacco taste that lingers a little more. The tin of 10 makes them handy to carry about, and like the rest of the Signature line, there’s no need for a humidor as they keep well in the tin. For me, they hit the sweet spot between convenience and flavour when I want something small but with a bit more punch.

Small punch cut but will go medium next time as draw is a little tight at first.
Really nice mild flavour which is consistent throughout smoke. Stayed lit and held ash as well rolled. Definitely recommend and will order again

Pleasant and refined throughout. Subtle aroma, impeccably smooth draw, and a whisper of nutty savoury depth near the end. A quiet, elegant smoke with understated complexity, fine construction, and a clean, classic appearance.

Close to 50 minutes, but I was so pleasantly relaxed that I forgot to note the time when I finished. Good construction and lots of smoke (which is nice) although the burn became uneven in the final third - not that this affected enjoyment in any way. Not quite as flavoursome as I had been hoping for, given the excellent reviews, and not as good as the Casa Carrillo Prequel in my mind. However, I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it to a friend, as well as buying more for myself. If only it was slightly smoother with a little more depth of flavour. But all in all, an excellent smoke and I'm picking nits. I was sipping a quality rum while while smoking (Westerhall Estate) which worked very well indeed.
