AVO XO Intermezzo ND Cigar - 1 Single by Barry

Good looking cigar, lovely soft, smooth wrapper, really nice band design. Excellent construction, nice even pack, slightly tight draw with a double V/crown cut but great smoke output, good burn, fairly straight but flakey ash; however, it does hold on for a good 3/4 inch or so. Very smooth, slightly creamy body some sweet dried fruit upfront followed by bittersweet coffee and chocolate alongside creamy roasted nut and gentle cedar, no strength which is nice. Would definitely recommend.

Christmas Spirit and Smoke Gift Box Sampler - 4 Cigars with Cutter and Miniature by Nigel

So far very pleased with my purchase. A great way to get set up: multiple cigars, cutter, whisky, and a usable box! I also ordered the lighter which completed this set up. I'll place reviews of individual cigars on the appropriate page. The cutter is excellent; very sharp and easy to use. This makes the experience of prepping the cigar a pleasure and takes out the guess work. Whisky was superb; not at all like a lit of Scottish whiskies and overly peaty for my tastes. This whisky was mellow and complimented the cigar I chose. I know the vendor is open about savings buying this way, send thats good, however, if I'd gone another route the cutter and lighter on their own would have added significantly to the price. Both items are more than sufficient. Although, we all know we like tools and gadgets so these items will be added to eventually. For now they are more that adequate. I live the box. I was expecting something a little less substantial, but this box is wooden (cedar?) and has a great seal. Supplied is the obligatory Boveda. I have three now and will utilise in my novice

Chateau Diadem Conviction Toro Cigar - Box of 12 by Ellis

A well constructed cigar which burned without any touch ups. For me it was a creamy flavour turning a bit spicy on the retro hale half way through. The draw was just right for me. A good all round cigar in my humble opinion. Definitely worth a try.

Cohiba Shorts Cigar - 1 Single by Edward

It's like smoking a log. Very ashy, bonfirey. Tastes like a dodgy cigarette. No real development of flavour. The construction was good - very dense, with an even burn and tight draw. Overall, quite poor and I won't be buying this again. You might like it if you prefer cigarette flavours. IMO, the Trinidad and Davidoff shorts are much better for the same price.

BLACK FRIDAY - AVO Expressions Limited Edition 2024 Cigar - 1 Single by neil

Cigar had a great construction, and aroma. Medium in strength. It had an unusual flavour profile of mild spices and mint, with a woody overtones. These flavours were mild at start, but really opened up in the final third. I did enjoy it thoroughly though.
