Amazing for the price. First time buying and using a pipe and this kit was great. The pipe I received is a nice quality and not overly large but not the easiest to clean, the leather pouch is really high quality and had that lovely new leather smell, the tool is a little stiff but works fine. Only tried one tobacco sample so far and it was absaloutley wonderful. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone starting pipe smoking.

This was my mystery cigar from last months subscription box & I wasn’t disappointed.
I had no idea of what to expect beyond the size and construction and the aesthetics of the cigar itself.
The wrapper was flawless. A real dark cocoa coloured wrapper, it was just beautifully constructed. You could tell a lot of effort has went into the construction of the cigar and it shows.
The lighting was one of the best experiences I’ve had. A very even burn with no touch ups at all. I made this cigar last me around an hour and ten by taking it slow and steady. The flavours are medium with a great spice and cedar note with creamy white smoke and ash. The ash held well too.
It was one of those cigars I nubbed and didn’t want to end! It was just a lovely relaxing smoke, just shooting the breeze and thinking about nothing but the flavour and experience. This is my first Mexican cigar, so that’s been a real treat. I think I’ll certainly return to this cigar in the future. Thank you for the wonderful choice, Georgina.

This has been my favourite of the Orignese series so far, after trying the Cuban and the Nicaraguan. Its got a few dimensions to the flavour; a rich coco depth with a slight sweetness and spice to it. Smokes very well like Ive come to expect from Casa Turrent. Never had a dud. Good size for the price, long lasting, loads of smoke.

It’s hard to review this cigar as a stand-alone smoke, without considering where it sits in the Davidoff Dominican range. It’s obviously a larger format than the primeros at the same price, but I think there is a slight compromise for that. It feels like a more serious cigar but it also felt, dare I say, lacking in the usual Davidoff sophistication. It’s a decent hit of nicotine but it’s not as smooth as the primeros or the entreacto. First third left me hoping something would ‘kick in’, second third gave me a couple of lovely hits of cream and spice, which were disappointingly inconsistent and far too brief and the final third teetered on the edge of being hot. Draw and construction were fine, although mine was a tiny bit on the tight side, which I don’t mind I must say. The aroma is fantastic! Personally, I’d go primeros for the money, or spend a few more pennies to get one of the serious Davidoff’s. If the cream and spice ran throughout, this would be amazing, but then I doubt it would cost only ten pounds of your hard earned. Slightly confusing one this, which tends to result in

Very pleasant and enjoyable, good draw and a balanced flavour.

Not cheap, (with UK taxes what is?) but what a nice surprise!! Lit about 20 minutes before I went out to empty Dogface, had a good hours walk and came home to enjoy the rest , with a nice whiskey and a cold Bud, perfect!
Quite a mild cigar, Im getting used to a larger ring gauge, a more heavy smoke, but this was lovely, good draw, no issues whatsoever, no wrapper problems after I got her going and touched up the burn, CGars almost never let me down except for some of the Cubans I dont buy anymore. Highly recommended for a nice long puff, mild to the end and a nice, memorable taste on the lip, Ill be keeping a couple in my humidor for days like today. Highly recommended for a nice long walk of the dig, or a good movie on the TV. Cant give it a five but near as damnit.
