The Inka Secret Blend Blue petite corona was an interesting smoke for me, especially as someone still at the early stages of getting to know different regions and blends. Being a Peruvian cigar, it stood out right away since most of my experiences so far have been Cuban or Nicaraguan. On the cold draw, there was a light earthiness and a hint of sweetness, almost like dried fruit. Once lit, the first third opened with smooth, mellow flavors—cedar, toast, and a touch of creaminess. It felt very approachable, which I appreciated.
As it developed, I started picking up more herbal notes mixed with nuts, and a little black pepper spice crept in to give it some character. The smoke was medium-bodied overall, not too light but not overpowering either. The construction was decent: the draw was consistent, though the burn line wavered here and there, requiring a minor touch-up. Midway through, there was a slightly bitter edge that came and went, but when it mellowed, the cigar returned to a balance of wood, earth, and soft sweetness.
It’s not the most complex cigar I’ve tried, but it off

Purchased this lighter 4 years from C.Gars, I was very pleased with it until recently - the flame adjuster stopped working properly and wouldn't make the flame bigger. Turns out this is a common issue with all of these styles of pipe lighters - gas residue build up etc. Unfortunately there isn't anyone in the UK who is able to repair Tsubota lighters. So unless I travel to Japan to have it repaired it looks like I'm going to have to purchase an IM Corona.

Drew Estate Deadwood SJ Cigar - 1 Single
by Stuart
The Drew Estate Deadwood Sweet Jane is a cracking little cigar with a bold, sweet flavour that really stands out. Each one lasts me around 20 minutes, with an easy draw and plenty of smoke, just the way I like it. I’d give it a solid 9/10 for both taste and overall enjoyment.
I took a tin of these to a party recently and they were a hit, even with the non-smokers. They’ve got that approachable sweetness that makes them fun to share, but still enough quality to keep regular cigar smokers happy. A lively, flavourful smoke that works just as well on your own as it does in a crowd.

The Hamlet Miniatures are exactly what you’d expect, a quick, no fuss smoke that lasts about 4 minutes. They’re nice enough for their size and offer reasonable value for money. Personally, I prefer the Signature Yellows as I think they’ve got a nicer flavour, but these are still a solid little option when you just want something quick. Handy to keep around, and I’d definitely buy them again for those short smoke breaks.

White Elephant Sahara is a unique aromatic that delivers a pleasantly smooth and exotic smoking experience. The flavor profile leans towards a warm, sweet spice with subtle hints of fruit and floral notes, making it both distinctive and approachable. The room note is inviting without being cloying, and the tobacco burns evenly with minimal relights. It is mild in strength but rich in character, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a flavorful yet gentle aromatic. A fine blend to savor slowly, especially in a dedicated aromatic pipe. I would definitely buy again.
