Taste of a premium cigar, lovely little cigars
I will stick to those for a while, if you want something for everyday smoke look no further..

The La Invicta Nicaraguan Panatela wasn’t really for me. It’s a nice-looking, long cigar for the price but the flavour was far too bitter and strong from the start. I gave it a fair go, managed about a third, but eventually binned the rest. Even the more affordable Hamlets taste better to my palate.
Maybe it would suit someone who prefers a heavier, punchier smoke, but I just found it harsh and unpleasant. A shame, really, as it looked promising, but this one’s off my list for future buys.

Quad jet flame so incredibly powerful, perhaps a touch overkill for anything but the heaviest ring gauges, as expected it's completely wind resistant. Gets a touch hot with constant use; however, it's not untouchable and it never gets so hot it stops working. Unsurprisingly it's also really quite heavy, not overly but you know it's in your pocket; however, you could ditch your cutter if you use the built in punch, I haven't, but it seems pretty sharp. The built in cigar rest in the lid is surprisingly useful and construction whilst not top notch seems decent enough.

Cohiba Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by Shaun
As someone who is fairly new to the world of cigars, I recently had the opportunity to try a Cohiba Short, and it was an interesting experience overall. From the moment I opened the pack, I was impressed by the presentation. The cigar felt well made, with a rich aroma that hinted at quality tobacco. For a beginner like myself, that initial scent alone was enough to spark some excitement and curiosity.
Upon lighting, the draw was smooth and the smoke output was satisfying, especially for such a compact cigar. The flavor profile started off rich with earthy notes and a hint of spice that added some character. I could definitely appreciate the craftsmanship and why Cohiba has such a strong reputation among cigar enthusiasts.
That being said, I did find the harshness a bit stronger than I expected, especially toward the middle and final third. As someone who is still developing a palate for cigars, the intensity caught me slightly off guard. While it wasn’t overwhelming, it did remind me that the Cohiba Short is still a bold and flavorful smoke despite its small size.
Overall, I

I was very disappointed with this purchase. The 1st cigar was a good smoke and I thought this was a steal for the price.
The 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th cigar were terrible smokes. The draw on the cigar was almost impossible as I was either straining to draw or had to keep trying to re-light the cigar. The outer fell apart on all of the cigars bar the 1st. The taste left in my mouth after each draw attempt was harsh and unsavoury. A very uncomfortable smoke and wasn't relaxing at all.
Would not recommend.

This was part of an Avo sampler offer and tried it a few nights ago. I'm not great at identifying different tastes in a cigar but picked up what seemed to be a lovely chocolate taste in the first part. Fairly loose draw but plenty of delicious smoke and burnt well. Thoroughly enjoyed this and would buy again.
