Cohiba Siglo I Cigar - 1 Single
by Joshua
A slightly awkward smoke with a very tight draw. I use a guillotine cutter I had to cut the end a bit further down than usual to get a proper draw. However, there was no unraveling and it smoked mostly perfect all the way down with a single touch up on one side.
The flavours were wonderfully complex, coffee and dark chocolate with a honey after taste. The honey got much stronger the further down the stick I got. With a great aroma throughout.
It certainly packed a punch and is worth the money.

Montecristo Open Master Cigar - 1 Single
by George
I like the cigar it’s tasty when it’s not tight draw, but like most cubans now days it’s gamble 50-50 chance of a good one, witch is very unfortunate.

I had high hopes for this cigar but was alas disappointed. It lights well, and burns very well but the wrapper started unravelling immediately. I had not cigar glue, and this spoiled my enjoyment no end.
The flavour was up and down throughout the 30-minute smoke time, sometimes smooth and flavoursome, then harsh and unpleasant. I don't know if this was because of the poor build quality of my cigar. Perhaps I was unlucky in getting a poorly-made one, and I may have enjoyed it more if I'd had some cigar glue to repair it. I might try it again at some point, but based on this experience alone, it was not value for money.

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - Pack of 5
by George
These have long been one of my favourite cigars to enjoy with an afternoon coffee. The classic Cuban flavour is smooth, rich, and never disappoints in taste.
Unfortunately, my most recent 5-pack was a letdown. Every stick had a tight draw and required frequent relighting, which took away from the overall experience. It’s a shame, because when they’re good, they’re truly excellent — but the inconsistent quality control makes it a gamble.

Flawless construction, wrapper is quite veiny but nice looking and oily to touch, nice cold draw with just a touch of resistance using a guillotine cut. Probably the sharpest burn I've seen in a long time, absolutely razor sharp. Ash holds on for 2-3cm revealing a perfect cone, zero relights or corrections needed. Somke is a touch thin but lovely and cool, fairly straightforward flavour with spicy black pepper upfront alongside wood and leather, some subtle sweetness in the background, no strength and light to low medium body. A absolute steal at this price point.

Exceptionally clean cut, absolutely zero tearing of the wrapper and completely straight. The serations on the blades grip the cigar ensuring superb accuracy, no blade wander or cuts at funny angles. Considerably larger than I imagined considering the absolute bargain price, feels really solid and well built, comfortable to use, the inbuilt steel cigar holder is a nice touch.
