Mitchellero Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Austin
I have justbfinished my first cigar in this range and the robusto is everything I wanted in a cigar. A good draw, plenty of smoke, and a good flavour. I will definately make sure these are in my humidor from now on. I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Arran Amarone Cask Finish - 70cl 50%
by Staff
The Isle of Arran is a little secret and is judged due to its name. The “Isle” gives the impression of a smoky Islay whisky but it’s quite the opposite. You won’t get that heavy hit of Peat Smoke at all. What you will receive is a smooth, fruity dram similar to Highland style whisky. Arran Amarone Cask Finish is a very special dram. After eight years of maturing in oak, it is finished in the highest of quality Amarone wine casks from a producer in northern Italy. Amarone is an iconic Italian Red from Tuscany, which adds and draws that sweet, fresh fruit from the Arran Spirit. It is bottled at 50% but drinks like a 40%.
A fine aroma of Battenberg Cake and honey roasted gammon. With typical highland sweetness, vanilla, honey etc…
A tannin filled first flavour, a soft reminder that it could probably be enjoyed with a cherry smoke cheddar. A creaminess comes through and puts you at that typical beach you went to on a school trip - licking a 99er - the subtle saltiness and strawberry syrupiness adds to this delusion.
It’s probably one of my favourite drams - complex and accesses

Glenallachie 12 Year Old - 46% 70cl
by Staff
Single malt spirit, Sherry, and virgin oak casks, with twelve years in the perfect whisky ageing spot, produces a stunning dram. GlenAllachie Distillery perches on the Aberlour stream near the end of the river Spey. Its closest neighbour is Aberlour at the base of Ben Rinnes. It was originally built to produce spirit for blended scotch in 1967. This liquid has influence from both Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks, resulting in a heavy palate of Dried Fruit and Vanilla.
A heavy-set vanilla and almond on the nose, followed up by wildflower marmalade.
A very smooth palate of honey and liquorice followed by a anise and soft lemony citrus.
A long, sweet finish that reminds me of the purple grape skittle or the purple starburst. It tastes purple…

Not much to hype when it comes to this cigar. From start to end, the taste was very plain, only a hint of spice which later became less pronounced. Even then the spice was almost non existent in the flavour. Could not taste any other flavours in this, probably why its at the price point it is. The only good thing about this cigar was the burn was even through out. Construction for this cigar was impressive. Would not recommend to anyone, spend a little more and get your money worth. The mitchell orchant cigars are far better when comparing cigars in this price range.

I have just enjoyed this in the october sun. Started off slightly bitter with a very tight draw but from the second third to the end produced lovely flavoursome smoke. Last third was delicious, it really opened up and was the best part. Will be buying again

The first cigar Ive ever ordered, it feels a little dry. But I have nothing to Compare it to really.
It makes a crackly noise when a little pressure is applied with my finger and thumb. But no cracking.
I will know better By Christmas after Ive purchased a few different cigars.
