Regius Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Andrew
My go to cigar, delicious and good value. Lovely nose straight out of the humidor. Cigars at over twice the price are not twice as good.

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by David
Such a shame; the No. 4 was my re-introduction to cigars about 7 or 8 years ago when I quit smoking, all of a sudden I could afford a good cigar ! My son bought me a humidor for X-mas and off I went, maybe I was just lucky but my first two or three boxes of 10 were fabulous and I only dabbled in NW cigars. Then the plugging started, even in 5 boxes Id get at least one um-smokable, in the 10s 2 or 3.
I left it a few years, maybe, I thought, maybe theyd had a bad harvest or two or so then last month bought a box of 10, first 2 were lovely, 3rd was tight as hell in the last 3rd, but I didnt get to the last third (I could feel where it was so tight)Ive clipped it and looking around the net, put in a zip and in the fridge, you never know. Wont be buying again, we pay so much Tax in the UK this could make it unaffordable, Im not kidding, almost £15 to throw it away? No. Ive counted the 10 boxes, Ive kept most of them and there are 9 probably more in the bin over the years, you cant keep everything! I cant count the NWs Ive smoked, not ONE plug, really, Im sad, old fashioned and keep a

smooth and creamy all the way through no problems with the draw or burn.

Bit of an odd one, superb draw throughout and as previously said a nice spicy/peppery taste and held a brilliant long ash (thought it would never drop), sadly the 2nd half developed into a horrible sweet/cloting taste that after having 3 puffs i ended up discarding the whole thing as was making me feel a bit sick!

Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robusto I Cigar - 1 Single
by Alastair
Cigar Journals cigar of the year 2020 & I was expecting to be amazed. Paired with Balvenie 14 year Caribbean Cask whisky on a beautiful sunny day. I was not wowed & do not think it’s worth it’s price tag personally, I’ve had much more complex cigars that have wowed at half the price. Love the Plasencia Alma Del Fuego, that’s far more complex & enjoyable. Brings into question for me the whole cigar of the year hype across all publications. On a plus though the construction can not be faulted brilliant ash build up & burn was even.

What a pleasure ! I dont often review, well this is my 1st ! But the flavour of this cigar is still on my lips and Id like to give it credit. A big cigar, a Churchill at 7 and 48 ring gauge at £13.39 but you already know that. Before lighting; it has a lovely medium dark binder, no flaws I can see, no glue repairs needed, nice clean aroma. It cut very cleanly and the pre light draw was open and free from any plugs that I can feel.
Toasted and lit the first draw was cool with a good rounded flavour, mild for such a large cigar, after a couple of minutes it came to life, my kind of life, what a soothing flavour. I settled down hoping against disappointment, and it never happened. I started at 15:40 ended at 17:30, note I smoke slowly, compared to what Ive read from others, I want to take my time, this hobby aint a cheap one, I gave up cigarettes 6 years ago after 40 odd years so now I can afford the odd cigar now and then, and I dont cough my guts out in the morning, a blessing!
First impressions...I LIKE! Very even burn, compared to many, extremely nice taste on the lip and through
