For a “gran toro” size, it’s decent value for money. I’ve had the “grandido” before and found it a brilliant smoke for a Churchill size. This was OK, but it had a very ‘powdery’, ashy burn to it, which let it down a bit, and gave it a dry taste. That said, it burned evenly and lasted as long as you’d expect; getting on for two hours. For a few quid more, I’d go for the Brickhouse “Mighty Mighty” instead in future.

After having smoked two of the “red” (long filler) version of this cigar in the last year or two, I promised myself I’d try the blue (short filler) version to see if the difference was discernible, given the slight price difference. I can honestly say the difference is massive! OK, I’m only basing it on one cigar, but nothing about it was as good as the red version. It burned poorly and unevenly, to the point I had to try in vain multiple times to even it out, or even just keep it going at all. The difference in flavour was surprising, and perhaps down to the amount of tampering I was having to do with it. I was basically just smoking something that was on fire. Don’t let this put you off the whole brand… just pick the right cigar from them and don’t skimp the extra couple of quid; it just isn’t worth it. The red bombasso and half corona are brilliant value for money and I’ll be sticking to them.

I love these cigars. Come back to them again and again. Both Il Doge and Taliano. Theres something about the flavour, very full and dark, lingering. Smokey without being harsh. The handmade, uneven look adds a lot of character. Italians know whats up.

Unbelievable value! A cracking 20-25 mins smoke taking it easy, plenty of aromatic smoke and a rich, woody flavour without being too strong.
I paired mine with an espresso and a single malt, sat in the sun and relaxed.
Other than maybe a Mitchellero, you won’t find better value.

First let me thank Brick House, and (The Nicaraguan people) so much for this great maduro Cigar.
Medium body, the draw, burn, and construction are amazing. Varied bouquet of Flavors, aromas, and after tastes.. Such as ... woody, caramel, Woody, coffee, chocolate, sweet, cinnamon, and rich smoke. I will make sure keeps a large number of these woooow fancy sticks in my cigar humidors. Thank you so much C.GARS , Michelle Adler for all excellent choices and services. ✨

EMS Cigar Travel Tube - Brown Finish
by Dominic
Its thin metal, pretty much the same as youd get with a tubed cigar, so is more than appropriate for chucking in a bag or pocket. Crucially it consists of two tubes that push together and create (at least for temporary use) a good air seal.
Highly recommended. Wont fit an overly thick cigar like a Nub, but for everything else (and for £1.99) I cannot fault it, and really should purchase more for long trips away!
