Mitchellero Peru Petit Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by harvey

Good construction - some uneven burn which I think might have been my own wrongdoing. Easy to touch up. Ash held on for ages! Flavour opens with a touch of spice but quickly mellows over a consistent coffee note. The second half really opens up to stronger coffee, not quite an espresso. In the final third a creamy sweet cocoa develops for a while, before retreating back again to mainly coffee. Pleasant in all honesty. Smaller puffs resulting in a lower temperature will help the flavours surface. Might buy again once my palate has developed more, because despite loving good coffee, I would like some more complex flavours.

Blackbird Finch Corona Cigar - Box of 28 by Richard

Tried the samplers of the blackbird range over the last few years and have always been surprised at the quality of the smoke for a new world stick. Sorry if that seems like I'm doing new world down, I'm not, I'm just comparing with my favourite Cubans which new worlds don't compare with imo. Of all the blackbird cigars, the finch stands out as an absolute banker. Good draw, steady flavour throughout which I would put in the r&j arena, medium and smooth. I'll check my finances and look to get a box of these.

Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single by harvey

Unfortunately the one I tried was incredibly hard to pull, meaning I struggled to get much smoke out at all. It did seem fairly mild smoke but due to the problematic airflow I struggled to be taken by the experience. I will try my other one and if the pull is also bad, maybe attempt some hacks or fixes to experience the smoke as intended. 3 star review because the burn was good and construction seemed good apart from the airflow, which did actually seem to originate due to the head being very tightly packed in order to form the converging point. Maybe I didn't cut enough off to expose less packed leaves, although this does seem to be a not uncommon issue

Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Coronet Cigar - 1 Single by harvey

Beginner smoker here, but I was able to thoroughly enjoy this supposedly "meduim/full" coronet. Very well constructed, burns as you'd like with some minor waves (millimetres) but I think this adds to the character, since they seemed to regularly appear and within one more pull correct themselves throughout the smoke. This was, I think, due to the fact that there is a great airflow in the filler/binder meaning you can take relatively small puffs to generate a lot of smoke, which is delicious by the way. My unrefined senses could detect a rich woody flavour, with fertile rainforest soil underneath. I'll definitely be buying more, but maybe try the lancero for a longer experience this time or possibly a larger ring gauge, although possibly this would create too much smoke for me to handle... Recommended even for beginners

Henri Wintermans Tubed Coronas Deluxe Sumatra Cigar - 1 Single by David

Construction is good, draw is good, the burn is good, but the flavor is simply dire. Tastes like you're smoking the butt ends of a pub ash tray. There's no smooth creaminess, no sweetness, and even no peppery kick. Even the smoke looks a bit dirty. It's best use was providing ash for making pipe mud. Please avoid this one, there's far better for the price.
