Rafael Gonzalez Perlas Cigar - 1 Single
by Martin
I got this as part of a sampler and had them before. It lit easily but had a slightly harsh Cuban twang with notes of hay throughout it ashed well and required no touching up in summary a nice cheap Cuban Cigar for 20 minutes

Mitchellero Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Morgan
For a (at the time of writing) £11 stick, the Mitchellero Robusto scratches the itch, although doesn’t quite deliver the satisfaction. For what it is, it’s perfectly serviceable, but it’d be hard to argue against the case that the cash put down would be better suited going toward a slightly pricier cigar that lifts the bar in terms of quality

Received the La Unica 400 as my mystery cigar and smoked it a couple of nights ago with a rum and Coke. The cigar's appearance and band didn't look outstanding but how deceptive that was. Thoroughly enjoyed this little beauty. It did indeed have a rich, creamy, nutty flavour. Rightly or wrongly I smoked it to the very end using a nubber because I didn't want the cigar to end and had no burn issues. Price fairly high for an everyday smoke but would still recommend as really enjoyed it.

Not bad, but nothing to write home about. Tin note is very nice, room note does not particularly smell of nougat, just warm and pleasant. I asked my wife what she thought and she said it just smelled like a nice tobacco, and when I said it was nougat she said she definitely didn't get that aroma, and she has a pretty good sense of smell. I never left this out to dry so it needed quite a few relight at the start but I never got any tongue bite from it, so it's quite mild. I did find this reminiscent of C&Ds Autumn Evening, but I think I'd just go for that blend instead of this one if that's what I wanted. A nice smoke, but there are better out there.

Loved this one! Rich and chocolately, almost sweet, but the full body and depth balanced everything out well. Not the best constructed (a bit wobbly in places), but very satisfying and moreish. Will definitely be trying this again.

Nubbed this one and wow what a feeling it left
Perfect construction, sublime flavour with plumes of smoke, absolutely fantastic stick and is up there with some of the best Cubans I’ve tried. The Cuban situation has led to me trying some more new world cigars than I usually would but boy has it opened my mind to the vast catalogue that is on offer
Plasencia are a top quality brand and one that every cigar smoker should try, even the most resolute Cuban- supremacist can’t deny this is a belter of a stick
