Im now torn between this and the original being my favourite. This stick had a beautiful complexity to it that just stood out to me, and Id say that its a medium strength cigar with a full body. I got flavours of wood, leather, a sweet finish with some citrus in the background. The burn started off uneven, however it evened out soon after. I had a perfect draw and overall I was super impressed with the value for money this stick has. The great thing about this cigar is that it is so flavourful but they dont clash with each other, its a very smooth transition between each flavour, and thats something that really stands out to me. Looking forward to trying more vitolas in this range soon.

For the only, you cannot go wrong with this smoke. Bought a box for my stag do and there was a mix of cigar smokers and non, all really enjoyed. Perfect mix of flavour and smoothness! Will be reordering.

Ordered the Sample pack, smoked this one yesterday, really liked it.
A nice 40-45min afternoon smoke, with a Coffee, and a Bourbon.
Given the price point, there was no harsh surprises, smooth, a nice background taste, and aroma. The ash was was a consistent Grey, not huge plunges of smoke, the burn was very consistent all the way down.
I used a V Cutter, which gave ‘me’ a nice amount of intake. This Cigar, unlike some I’ve purchased at this point are a good ‘bang for buck’ the Conquistadors I’ve had have knots in, go out, and crumble at the Cap end!! I’m hoping this was just a bad batch of them, we’ll see when I retry then?
But, too be honest, I can see these Peru’s being my go too Cigar..excellent value.

Well I got one of each of these to try after a recommendation last weekend and I have to say I was very surprised how good they are. Im smoking the Gordo with my morning coffee as I type and theyre complementing each other beautifully. Theres a very nice balance of room note and taste I get the very nutty taste from this and a good long retrohale that doesnt have you in tears. I would recommend these to a new starter as for the price its a very good introductory smoke 5/5 👍

The construction of this cigar lets it down. As others have said, very fragile wrapper.
I didn’t have an issue when cutting the cigar. However, when I removed the band the wrapper gave way completely.
It didn’t effect the smoke too much but still not desirable.
Overall flavour of the cigar is beautiful. Can definitely find better for the price though I’d say.
I probably wouldn’t purchase again as it’s a bit of a gamble with the wrapper unfortunately.

Smoked this today as new in from CGARS. Starts strong and peppery but mellows a third of the way in. Slightly uneven burn for the first half, but this rectified itself and wasnt an issue. Definite hints of dark chocolate and coffee. Burnt a bit hot at the end but think this wont be an issue with the smaller vitolas. Will buy again. Good smoke.
