I had the pleasure of smoking my first Rocky Patel Orchant Seleccion Petit Robusto yesterday during my latest visit to St James's (02/05/24'). To my taste, this is an excellent cigar that burns beautifully, produces lovely white smoke and offers a smooth and pleasurable smoke. The tie up with Rocky Patel is an absolute yes for me being a huge fan of his cigars and the Orchant Seleccion range. I would class this as a perfect 'go to' cigar earlier in the day with a nice double expresso - its production thanks to Mitchell Orchant's amazing palate has produced a fine balance of flavour with the blending of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobacco . Lighter than I would normally smoke, this lovely cigar did not disappoint - I left with a box of 10 and now I'm just waiting for the sun to come out! :)

Thought I?d give these a try as a more affordable and casual treat.
Really good even burn, mild flavours and peppery towards the end.
There are better options out there in the same price range like the Oliva Serie V, AVO Classic, Arturo Fuentes Short Story, or even the Padron 2000.

I purchased one of these and it was a decent little smoke but unfortunately, the wrapper cracked a bit, which made it hard to smoke. C Gars were brilliant and sent me a replacement the very next day. What great customer service.
The second one I smoked was really enjoyable. No issues with a cracked wrapper.
It was mild, with earth/tobacco flavours. It got a little spicy at the end and was a really enjoyable smoke. It lasted me just over an hour.
Fantastic value for money!

One of the smoothest rums i have ever tasted in this price range, so good this is my second bottle.

I had high hope for this cigar having followed the Foundation Cigars journey online and in the YouTube reviews. I waited and smoked two before writing a review to provide a fair judgement. Its light, very light actually and does tend to pick up strength into the final third but doesn't seem to change in flavour or complexity. All the flavours you'd expect, light and slightly sweet tobacco being the most prominent with undertones of earth (That classic Nicaraguan mineral note) and subtle leather which remain mild and consistent throughout. Construction and burn were perfectly fine with no complaints to report. I am aware there are other versions of the Charter Oak that here in the UK we cannot access, i.e Pasquale, Habano and Pegnataro - However we do have the dark broadleaf so I will be moving onto that in search for the more complex flavours. Overall this version of the Charter Oak delivers the light and mild experience you are signing up to - A good afternoon, lunchtime, morning, beginner or easy creamy coffee smoke. I'd consider buying again but im not in a rush to.
