When it comes down to it, it’s the skill of the roller that really counts. The cigars in factory are graded for hue and shade and presented to the sorter. We all want consistency of colour when we buy a box of 25 or 50, do we not ? Problem is, not all rollers have adequate training and some are somewhat lacking in skill. So, the consumer, that’s you, ends up with an inferior product.
Having smoked many cigars over the recent months, I can conclude that a lot, and I mean a lot of cigars coming out of Cuba at the moment are inferior products.
Poor construction often means a poor or inadequate draw. You might as well throw your money in a bin.
Draw, to me, is everything.
The culprits, at the moment seem to me to be Partagas, Montecristo and dare I say it, Cohiba.
I have recently been wading through my stash of Ramon Allones specially selected and have found that the consistency and construction to be flawless.
If you want a cigar that gives bang for buck, buy these.
Don’t waste your money on the overpriced and overrated alternatives.
Just finished one.

What great little cigars these are. Recently ordered 4. So far Ive smoked 2 and I cant praise them enough. Appearance is somewhat crude but thats the only criticism I can make. Draw, burn and construction are first class. The ash stays on for half cigars length before falling off and the rest stays put until the very end. A very even and uniform burn, a draw which is maybe just on the loose side of good and a competitive price make these a hard act to follow. The flavour starts off very smooth but gets a little peppery towards the end. Lasts around 25 minutes. May well be buying more of these especially with the colder weather being not too far away now.

I only had this in the humidor for 2 days, it smelled too good to pass and I was waiting for a few boxes to arrive and only had a few smokes left so I thought what the hell.
This is sexy good! Like silk in the mouth, nutty and coffee like Flavour. Like a cross between a padron 1964 diplomatico Maduro and a my father le bijou 1922 torpedo. Just really smooth. Last years cigar of the year For cigar Aficionado. Always worth trying their picks, this one is a great price.
Epic. Box worthy.

Great construction, razor sharp burn all the way down and produced a 2.5 inch ash, impressive for a 4 inch stick. Flavours were mild as was the strength, really easy morning smoke, so smooth I nubbed it with a toothpick as dagger right to the end, lasted 40 min.
