Charatan London Claro Half Churchill Cigar - 1 Single by Adam

Great beginner smoke. It felt consistently packed throughout and burned straight as an arrow. Initial scent out of the box was very mild and upon lighting the flavour followed suit. Draw was easy and the smoke was thick and creamy. Would make a fantastic cigar for someone unsure about them as the length is much less daunting than a full size Churchill. The ring gauge provides the feel and experience of a larger cigar without the pressure to finish it if you decide it isn’t for you. The aftertaste wasn’t overwhelming and didn’t linger for too long either. I didn’t notice any change in flavour throughout the cigar which was a little disappointing personally. Overall, I will definitely be keeping a few of these in the humidor for those friends and family that are unsure where to start.

Parker of London Tapered Conical Pipe Cleaners - Pack of 100 by John

These are fantastic for cleaning the mouthpiece and tank of my eliquid mod. I've used these for years as they are the perfectly sized fit having a taper which cleans well. With regular smoking going the way of the dinosaurs, I wonder how long we'll be able to get these.

Gurkha Cellar Reserve 12 Year Old Grand Rothchild Tubos Cigar - 1 Single by Iain

A very good cigar that performs well above its price point. The initial light was reasonably easy ( I often find perfectos a bit of a faff to get going but this wasn't bad at all ) and the burn soon settles to a very even line. There is a sweet note that remains throughout what is a solid medium strength smoke. Although the flavours become a little milder towards the second third they soon kick back in with a little cedar and leather with a gentle spice that holds to the end of the smoke. The ash holds extremely well, and I only initially knocked it off in order to remove the band, which speaks volumes for the quality of the construction of the cigar. This is not the most complex of cigars and I have probably had more enjoyable, albeit smaller, ones for the money which stops me from awarding the full five stars. Having said that I have also had less rewarding smokes for a lot more money than this. Well worth a try.

Drew Estate Acid Krush Classic Gold Sumatra Cigar - 1 Single by Stuart

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, but I really enjoyed it. Taken straight out of the humidor, it lasted around 20 minutes, and the flavour was excellent, very sweet on the lips, smooth, and fuller than you’d guess from the small size. For me, it could easily jump into the “favourite of its type” list. The Sumatra wrapper and the light infusion combine for a mellow but satisfying smoke. It’s one of those little cigars that punches above its weight. I’ll definitely keep a tin in the rotation.

Wilsons of Sharrow Pipe Cleaners Multi Coloured Straight - 5 Packs of 50 (250) by Christopher

Sadly too flimsy to be of much use. Do not appear to have a thinner end so with most pipes it is impossible to insert them through the mouthpiece. They do co clean but gently as the slightest pressure causes them to buckle.

CigarKings Maduro Elegantes Cigar - 1 Single by Glen

Absolutely disgustingly gorgeous! It’s a real dichotomy of a cigar. It’s so full of flavour and so full of aroma but I couldn’t tell you what it tastes or smells like. But I know I love it. But more than this it’s low nicotine. That’s a lot of boxes ticked for me. I received my Cigarking in October’s 2025 CGars subscription and I can see why people subscribe twice, so you always have another to come back to. I’ll definitely be ordering this Cigarking again.
