H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single
by Mathew
Lovely smoke. Unlike other recent reviews I did not find these to be a tight draw. Great smoke from start to finish. Nice aroma and pleasant mild taste. No bitterness in the last 3rd. Excellent value.

Will start with the positives - The draw was spot on and the burn even with lovely white ash. On the downside the wrapper was very crinkly and had marks on it. Basically it looked cheap. I detected a peppery flavour plus an unpleasant taste. Compared to other budget contenders it loses out badly. Recommended? No.

Davidoff Primeros Escurio Cigar - 1 Single
by GENEVIEVE
A very acceptable cigar, the usual Davidoff 'build quality' with a solid wrapper and binder that encapsulates the consistent draw and flavour of the filler. A very lightly spiced pepperiness could be noted now and again but the main flavours were of slightly toasted almond and a hint of butterscotch and light coffee/chocolate notes. Held a good 1-1.5 inches of ash before it fell to the patio. Enjoyed it straight cut with a coffee, lasted around 40 minutes. Personally I would say this is more of a medium strength cigar than a medium to full strength as per the description but fantastic bang for your buck.

I had high expectations for this one but it was barely smokable - the draw was far too tight and any airflow I did get out of it was barely a wisp of smoke, so... unfortunately I can't give much comment on its flavoure. Even prior to lighting it, it felt significantly compacted near the bottom half (although it did smell quite enticing and had it been rolled perfectly it may well have been very delicious)
I persisted but barely a 3rd down it started to unwrap itself as well? Maybe I simply received a duff one from the batch - which can often happen with hand-rolled cigars - I guess it's just luck of the draw when it happens. Very disappointing.

Shockingly bad flake . Difficult to rub out to any degree , takes a monumental time to dry out and even when it has , it is even more of a chore keeping it lit. If there are any hints of rum and Latakia , i can't taste it, in fact it is very bland .

For me the shade grown series are my favourite Quorum cigars. I particularly like the tres petit corona because it is slow burning and can last nearly as long as the corona making it very good value. The cigar has decent combustion and burns fairly evenly. Flavour-wise there isn't a lot going on but they are still a satisfying mellow smoke and make a nice change to Cuban cigars. Overall I would definitely recommend this cigar.
