Joya de Nicaragua Red Toro Cigar - 1 Single by Carl

Ill start by saying ive smoked about 100 cigars so dont class myself as a beginner but certainly not an expert. This was the strangest experience i have had. The first half was mild, sweet with a taste of caramel and almonds. The second half was dark and spicy. It lasted about an hour and a half. The first half i needed 2 large puffs to get out the smoke and flavour each time but the second half was a much easier draw. It really was like smoking 2 seperate cigars. The cigar did start to unravel a slight bit in the final 3rd and lots of touch ups were needed throughout. It has left me feeling a bit strange if im honest whereas i usually feel relaxed and soothed after a cigar. I have had a stressful week and maybe this is a lot to do with my mood rather than the cigar i honestly dont know. Its not a cigar i would have again but would not wish to put off anyone to try for themselves as we are all different.

Savinelli Balsa 6mm Pipe Filters - Pack of 20 by James

Have been using these in a Missouri Meerschaum iconic for around a month now and they are just the ticket. The seem to smoke cleaner than paper filters. I tend to swap out every day, wouldn't risk any longer as it might affect the smoke. Good value for money and no doubt better for the environment as they are simply balsa wood so will decompose easily.

Montecristo Open Eagle Cigar - 1 Single by Nathan

I thought this was very unimpressive for a £50 odd cigar. As one review said, starts off very bland. I gave up after half. I thought the draw was tight and too mild, too smooth and really lacked flavour. Quite disappointed. It was well constructed but burned a little unevenly.

Foundation The Tabernacle David Cigar - 1 Single - C.Gars Exclusive by Martin

Spice and a bit harsh to begin. Stick with it and you will be rewarded. This cigar developes smoothly. Plumes of smoke. Dark Espresso notes left on the palate. Good price point but a little bit one dimensional on flavour.

Don Tomas Nicaragua Robusto - 1 Single by Samantha

Let me begin with simply saying wow! I wasn't expecting too much from this cigar, but boy was I surprised. Good construction, even burn, decent amount of smoke after the first third. The flavour was creamy and nutty, a tiny touch of spice in the final half which danced on the tounge. Smooth from start to finish, I enjoyed every puff. It did sit in my humidor for 3 months, so that may have helped.
