C.Gars Ltd Dutch Blend Corona - 1 Single
by Matthew
Surprising nice. Easy draw, nice flavours with a slightly bitter after-taste. Can’t really go wrong at this price. Will buy some more!!

Oliva are a great cigar brand and these are exceptionally good value for money. I like to have one of these when I am short on time. I have sampled various machine rolled cigars and never fully enjoy them! These being hand made just make them all the better!

OMG!!! I bought this after tempting myself to consider taking Masters of Havana Cigars over on the Hunters & Frankau website. After wondering for what seemed like an age, i couldnt find any where that you could apply or sign up to a course. A bit frustrated I wandered through the section staring those who had already taken it (the list was short). What stood out as odd was the number of those who in their bio recommended this cigar as one of their personal favourites. ok.... let see what the fuss is about. yes..yes.. we can all get a dodgy cuban where the draw sucks or its a touch uneven, it doesnt mean to write off the whole brand. I lucked out on this one. The draw was slightly easy (my fav), the initial smoke was creamy and light cocoa. As I carried on the flavours didnt change much but they did intensify, coffee notes and a savoury sweetness. As I got close to the end a quicker draw pulled out some of the chilli pepper spice, but a slower draw revealed a gentler side. Stupidly good from start to finish. i now have to buy more to lay down and see if 2 to 5 years does a

I’ll be honest, I was kinda looking for a pipe tobacco that had that “French” cigarette taste to it and I thought this might be it. It’s not, but that’s not to say I was disappointed. There’s a rich warmth to the Latakia and it’s given a spicy edge by the Izmir, however it’s blended so that all the tobaccos have their say without shouting over each other. Personally I prefer this in a small bowl not because it’s too strong but because it’s all you need to get everything out of this (my opinion only) also I’m a bit of a puffer and that can make the last of a big bowl a little bitter for me personally. I’m gonna try this half and half with SG Perfection, I think it’ll be very interesting.

SG Perfection! Is it? Well it’s pretty darn close. SG really nailed the proportions on this blend and the quality. The aroma out of the tin is amazing, if you like oriental blends this really is a must. The vanilla is hiding in the background popping up only to sweeten the bowl ever so slightly. It complements the Latakia perfectly, marrying the different tobaccos into....... well, perfection.
Before you pack your bowl take the time to handle it and take in the beautiful aromas and then sit back and enjoy. Goes great with a glass of rum or whisky, or not.

OAP Blend was a total surprise. I got a sample on a whim, I’m not generally a Lakeland fan but this is quite subtle and isn’t cloying or overpowering. The tobacco is a chocolaty brown wild cut with flecks of lighter ribbon by the looks of it. But I guess it changes so who knows what you’ll get.
It burns dry and is satisfying in a large or small bowl. You don’t wanna overthink this one, pack light enjoy repeat.
I will be getting more.
Four stars because it surprised the hell out of me and although there’s nothing complex going on here it is very satisfying.
