I was really looking forward to smoking this cigar but unfortunately I was bitterly disappointed. From the moment I straight cut it and lit it, it started to unravel from both ends. The cigar was dry as a bone despite being kept in my humidifier at 70%. Had to abandon it half way through as it became unsmokable.
Probably just unlucky as I purchased due to the other positive reviews

There is a lot of hype surrounding this cigar.
It's a beautiful looking stick. A lovely golden shade wrapper, rolled perfectly, providing an even burn and consistent smoke. There was a very feint sweet almond flavour but that is the only tasting note I could pick up.
Unfortunately, I found it to be disappointing at this price range. You can get a Conquistador for less than half the price with the exact same flavour profile.

The Mystery Cigar
What a great surprise! When I saw the option to add a Mystery Cigar to my order for £10, I couldn’t resist pressing “Enter.”
When the package arrived, I was buzzing with excitement to unpack it. The cigar was packed separately, and even though I was tired from the week, I decided to spend the early evening enjoying it with my favourite Boulevardier cocktail. I had kept it outside my humidor since receiving it—I've found that letting cigars rest at room temperature for 24–36 hours often brings out a better flavour than smoking them straight from the humidor.
Every time I held it, I wondered where it was made. The vitola was just the style I prefer: long and not too thick, around a corona gorda size. I measured it at 6¾ inches by 46 ring gauge and 14.9g in weight. The construction was impressive—firm, smooth, and wrapped in a beautiful colorado claro leaf with a double cap and a classy look.
The cold draw didn’t reveal much beyond a dry, grassy character typical of Cuban or Dominican blends. The first third offered a mild mix of grassy and mineral notes with a

I’ve been smoking cigars for about two years now, and this was the very first one I ever bought. Since then, I’ve tried everything from high-end sticks to budget-friendly options, and I keep coming back to this one. It’s on the lower end of the price spectrum, but don’t let that fool you this cigar consistently delivers.
It’s a genuinely enjoyable smoke, never harsh or disappointing. There’s a reason it’s popular. I always keep one of these in my humidor. It’s a staple I trust, and for the price, it’s hard to beat.

The Tabernacle David was an absolutely amazing cigar, I loved every bit of it. It had that perfect balance of sweetness without going overboard, and now I fully understand why this cigar gets so much praise everywhere online. From the first light to the final draw, it delivered rich, smooth flavour with a lovely depth that just felt refined.
It’s the kind of cigar that feels worthy of a special occasion, and it genuinely lived up to the hype. I’ll definitely be keeping one tucked away in the humidor for another time when I want something truly satisfying. 10/10 from me, a proper standout smoke.

Quai d Orsay No. 50 Cigar - 1 Single
by Barry
Classy looking cigar, quite understated, lovely mocha wrapper. Very subtle flavours, slightly peppery on the lips with a sweet, creamy coffee upfront followed by gentle roasted pecan and gentle, aromatic cedar. Overly packed and nearly impossible to draw, needed at least 3 successive and long draws to produce a minimal amount of smoke, fairly uneven burn requiring 2 significant corrections...seems to be getting more regular with Cuban cigars and at Cuban prices it's not really good enough.
