Trinidad Reyes Cigar - 1 Single by Daniel

Bit gutted with this purchase, i love Trinidad as a brand and really enjoyed the Trinidad Colniales Short. This cigar was a wee bit tough on the draw, even after altering the cut top improve draw. The first 3rd was pleasant smooth creamy smoke rich in Vanilla, pepper/spicy floral notes. Unfortunately this is when the cigar unraveled and fell apart becoming harsh, bitter, the only cigar i had to stop smoking because of construction flaws. Benefit of the doubt this time round. Will have to revisit and review again.

Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores Cigar - 1 Single by Lucas

Not a complex one. Irregular, but good from 2/3 to the end. Bit pepper in the end. Can get more good option at the same price...

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single by Nick

Now it’s been a while since I started smoking and have been on the journey with Cgars from day one. On that day I purchased a starter sampler. It had everything you needed and some cigars with the monty no4 one of the figure heads. When I smoked that it had flavour. Nutty, earthy, smooth and noticeably a Montecristo. It started the journey and since then my pallet has developed as has my expectations of a decent smoke. A lot has changed and as money is not flush given the current climate I thought I’d revisit this former love and it’s fair to say I think this is one that hasn’t stood the test of time. I know this is a very popular cigar and so I wonder if that’s effected things. It was also less half the price when I first started so that maybe effecting my judgement but as other reviewers have said, my one didn’t really hit me with anything of note. It’s not unpleasant and should be a go to for beginners but others in the brand simply offer more. It may be a bad batch but I’d pay £3 more and take a Petit Edmundo over this any time.

Inka Secret Blend Red Bombaso Cigar - 1 Single by Dan

This was sent to me in place of the Blue Bombaso I had ordered (presumably sold out), and Im very grateful to Cgars for sending this slightly more expensive stick in its place. However, as much as I hate being negative, these reviews are here to help and inform - I was disappointed (the following are subjective views and I could well have had a dud). The construction seemed to be very tight and, when lit and throughout smoking, it had a horribly tight draw with very little reward. The cap is extremely shallow and suspect, so I punched it rather than cutting. Very little smoke output and a curious metallic taste throughout, particularly on the retro-hale (which was the only way of garnering any noticeable taste). Lasted around 50 minutes and to be honest I was glad when it was over. I will probably avoid in the future.

Alec Bradley Black Market Punk Petit Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Dan

This cigar has a very shallow cap, so be careful if cutting!! Nice even burn and produces lots of creamy smoke. Initially seemed a little harsh, but this settled down. Smooth and peppery. Became a little harsh again towards the end. An impressive 1 hour of smoking time though! Would definitely have again.

Brick House Double Connecticut Corona Larga Cigar - 1 Single by Dan

WOW!! What a great cigar. Good draw. Nicely made and cut well. Smooth all the way through. Slight pepper hit on retro-hale. Good burn (85% sharp). This is a smoke that deserves not to be rushed! Given the price and the time it took to smoke (1 1/2 hours) this might well be the best stick Ive had so far. Latter 3rd slightly harsh retro-hale, but this is a subjective view and I cant regard it as a negative point. Stunning smoke.
