Super smooth smoke, I enjoyed as recommended with a strong black coffee. Great combination. Im not one for smoking earlier in the day generally but this was a nice treat. Thanks.

Looks like I also got a dud.
This was the genuinely the worst cigar Ive had and proved un-smokeable.
It had a strange mix of consistencies on touch before lifting. Once lit, it canoed badly, with the ash inside looking pitted and abnormal. The draw was next to impossible.
The taste was terrible and I wasnt too upset when it went out for the second time in five minutes.
I disassembled it and found the binder covered with greenish spots - nasty.
I have to assume this had some diseased leaf, but I wont be rushing back to try another. If I could feel it wasnt right before lighting, so should the maker.

Well I love the smaller cigar and flavored cigars so it was only a matter of time until I tried one of the BACKWOOD cigars. The first thing that hits you is the smell of the cigars which is strong but good and fresh. They are a scruffy cigar and not the neat smooth cigar most will smoke which is why they are quite endearing. I put mine in the Humidor for about two weeks and let them settle and I must admit - what a smoke. Firstly the smell of the cigar drops so it is not so in your face, the taste in the mouth is not that strong a cherry at all but a lovely mild flavor and very pleasant. Not a strong cigar at all and I have to say it smoked well, even and held the ash well. Those around me commented on the smell of the cigar being very enjoyable and it lasted about 45 mins. Sweet on the lips, good flavor, not strong and a good smoke....... what is not to enjoy. To be honest I did trim the ends when lighting as the rough loose end looked nice but I prefer a neat end to light a cigar with :-)

I must have.This is my go to cigar for sharing with first timers. It has the quality and depth of flavour of a montecristo no4, but a milder strength. Even burn to the end and balanced draw also. Nursing it with a glass of wine, I’ve managed to make it last 45min.

Before smoking this today, I was slightly sceptical because of the price. But wow, I am impressed. It smells sweet out the pack and does have a slightly sweet flavour from the beginning. The draw for me is perfect and i had no need to relight between puffs. It burnt evenly all the way down. All for £6. I’ve already ordered more.

I was looking forward to this cigar as I have been smoking the cohoba panetellas for a while now whilst walking the dog. Should have been a relaxing smoke lasting twenty minutes. The taste was there just about but the draw was so tight it ended up frustrating. Used a perfecdraw but didnÂ’t help untilÂ….. literally the last third it came alive. Just left me feeling disappointed I had missed out on the trademark cohiba flavour and plentiful smoke for the previous 25 minutes. Only rating so low for the terrible draw
