I received one of these in my subscription box as a mystery cigar and I really enjoyed it. The cigar had a nice woodiness all the way through.
The first third had notes of black and white pepper, the second third the woody notes became stronger with a largely oak flavour with a really nice little hint of liquorice. The final third was quite sweet, almost caramel taste.
I found the draw a bit too tight on this one but given how nice the flavours are Im very happy to overlook that. I would definitely recommend.

A proper old school pipe tobacco. Having tried most of the old Dunhill range and various Kendal loose selections, I decided to try an old well-known brand. The strange off-putting smell when you first open it comes from the traditional vinegar they use as a natural preservative. I let the flakes breathe for half an hour before transferring to a small jar. Two whole flakes is almost perfect for my slightly larger than normal Rattray, a little less in my Peterson. It certainly has a unique flavour and packs a punch of nicotine. Its a proper, reasonably cool burning, tobacco tasting tobacco. Just be sure to let it air out the unpleasant vinegary aroma before you attempt this one!

This has to be the best Gin Ive ever tried! Its so refreshing and you can really a hint of apple, this is very good neat with some garnish in the glass like, raspberries, strawberries or maybe even some cucumber.

Padron cigars are highly regarded and with good reason too. Like all Padrons this cigar has a nice rustic tobacco appearance and a crude single cap. In an age where triple caps are some kind of construction marvel i like the fact Padron does a single cap that allegedly can be biten off so you can smoke it without a cutter. Ive smoked way too many triple capped cigars that were plugged or badly rolled. Padron cigars feel light and not densly packed. When you light them they produce lots of smoke and have a very comfortable, loose draw which i find enjoyable. The 1926 maduro is a very classy, solid but fairly one note blend in the Nicaraguan flavour spectrum. In terms of value id argue its a bit on the expensive side for what it is. It is of course a very, very nice cigar so ultimately i do think its a cigar every stogie smoker should try.

Got given a bottle over Christmas, and have since re-ordered for myself twice! Lovely crisp notes you could expect from a classic style gin, either with a mixer or on its one I absolutely love it!
Roll on summer days with a bottle of this by my side.
