So disappointed. These cigars where so dry. I have tried to smoke a couple but just not enjoyable. What cigar splits whilst smoking it.

I echo comments regarding uneven burn. I had to touch it up a number of times which was quite irritating to be honest. However, classic mellow low strength Upmann cigar. My cigar personally was quite hard to draw on. I suspect I was just unlucky as Ive not had this problem with Upmann before. It loosened up in the last half hour so it wasnt all hard work!

Another great cigar from Oliva (who are becoming my go to brand) Loaded with great flavours. Beautiful construction and burnt perfectly. A must try.

So I ordered a few of these a couple of months ago. At the time I wasnÂ’t impressed. I felt it tasted dry and didnÂ’t burn well. I think the depth of flavour was seriously impacted too. I put the others in my humidor drawer I use for longer term storage and forgot about them. I had reason to move them today and noticed that two had split and swelled at the foot. One almost halfway up the cigar. Smacks of having rehydrated too quickly. Goes to show that they must have been really dried out. Not impressed. Thinking now I donÂ’t really know what these cigars are like. The one I had would have been seriously compromised. Also a little concerned with how these have been stored prior to shipping. Not sure what happened with these guys.

Slow low burn, excellent aromatic room notes, sweet moorish taste and utterly delicious smooth smoke. This is going on my repeat list.

Peterson My Mixture 965 (Formerly Nut & Spice) Pipe Tobacco - 50g tin (Formerly Dunhill Range)

I bought a tin of this earlier today 15/07/22, from the store in Great Yarmouth. I don't smoke a lot of English blends but sometimes get a hankering for latakia. My daily smoke usually being something strong and usually a dark fired tobacco. Anyhow, this is really nice stuff. The latakia isn't overpowering but it's there. There is a nice sweet nutty profile but not sickly, maybe the influence of the brown cavendish on the virginia, you can actually taste the virginia and it leaves a nice hay like gingerbread aftertaste. Not a nicotine bomb but neither is it lacking in nicotine. All in all a good honest medium bodied and pleasant smoking experience.
