I bought the maduro and sumatra versions of the Villigers cigars to give them a try. I was quite surprised to see all the 5 star reviews for the sumatra, but thought I needed to try the maduro too in order to give a fair judgement. I have to be honest, I preferred the maduro a lot more out of the two, the flavour was so full and rich, slightly sweet with definitely chocolate notes. Yes you get a little tobacco in your mouth at the end, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all the way that it didnt bother me in the slightest. I will definitely be buying these again and giving them a 5 star review, theyre great.

I think these are excellent cigars for the money. They have a really strong flavour, which I like, and they definitely remind me of more expensive cigars, but at a fraction of the price. I would have given them 5 stars, but my only gripe is that you need to keep lighting them several times in order to keep them burning, other than that these are in my favourites.

Ive smoked two of these, (one sat in my humidor for three years, and one around a week old) and they are exceptionally good. The maduro wrapper carries the flavour of this complex cigar. Plenty of smoke, even burn, and no construction issues for me. I will be coming back to this stick in the future.

I received this today, merely pausing to say its condition was perfect for smoking. I like to drink brewed coffee with a cigar and, Rombouts medium roast was my brew of choice. If a coffee is too strong, the pronounced flavour, such as espresso, overpowers that of the cigar. Very good combustion, a slow even burn. white ash and something special about the dark wrapper made this a very enjoyable 35 minutes. Its a full strength cigar, but never harsh or any sense of tongue-bite. As a very occasional smoker, I like to experiment a bit. The Black Market Esteli Punk is well worth the money and certainly as flavourful as any decent Habanos. A bit of patience getting off the full wrapper is well worth the reward. If you are sitting on the fence with this one, try it and see.

Oliva Serie V Belicoso Cigar - Box of 24
by Andrew
Off the bat these are quite strong however the flavours are very nice. A full bodied rich earth, chocolate and coffee flavour which is not for a novice smoker. I put a few of these away in 2020 and came back to them this year and they had definitely mellowed. If like me you like a full flavoured but medium strength cigar I would buy a box and put them away for 3 years (out of the cellophane). Patients is required however you would be richly rewarded.

This was my first cigar from my father, and one I absolutely loved. A tonne of flavour with some spice. The flavour I was getting was very sweet, like caramel mixed with an orange taste. Delicious combination throughout. The construction was great and had no issues. I am new to cigars, but this was the cigar where the aroma stood out to me, and it was one that I liked a lot.
The website states this is a light-to-medium cigar. But for me, it was a medium right off the bat. And it ramped up towards the end.
I will absolutely buy and collect this cigar in the (hopefully) near future.
