Now THIS is a cigar. The Liga Privada No. 9 is a wonderful example of the flavour of Connecticut broadleaf. The wrapper was toothy, oily and thick. It has a wonderful dark chocolate note, alongside espresso, brown sugar and baking spices - it had also picked up an aromatic cedar note from my humidor. Nick Melillo's magnum opus, in my opinion. Multiple, aged tobaccos from 7 different farms - wonderful!

Plasencia, as a tabacalera, never disappoints. The Alma Del Campo is a stunningly good cigar; very creamy smoke output, consistent burn line, smooth draw and, unique to this cigar, a very pronounced tonka bean note in the 1/3 & 2/3. This is always in my humidor.

The Aniversario series from Davidoff is my favourite series, that and the Nicaragua. The Special R is the perfect vitola. The 1st 1/3 is just ok, but the next two 3rds were unreal. Perfect burn line and perfect draw. The cigar has a slight marzipan sweetness which built up as I smoked through the last two 3rds. Very long and creamy finish. My favourite shade grown wrapped cigar.

Pleasantly surprised, a really nice 40 minutes of smooth mild smoking with a slight sweetness to it, burnt only once right down to the half inch. Will buy again

One of my favourites this, construction is excellent and is smooth with lots of flavour from start to finish.

Samuel Gawith Perfection, a really nice combination of Virginia, Perique, Latakia and Oriental Tobacco’s with a mild Vanilla Topping.
Very well balanced and easily an all day smoke.
I would always recommend this to anyone with an interest to trying English Blends for the first time as well as to the more experienced Pipe Smoker.
