A very pleasant surprise, I had brought this cigar, to round up the price of an order and had left it in the humidor for six months. I found that my example, was well made, burnt well and even. The draw was perfect. Light to medium in taste. held its ash well, which was light grey to white. The very first draw was slightly bitter, but soon settled down to creamy/ sweet. Only becoming slightly bitter at the end, lasting just over an hour. From reading some of the other reviews, it would seem, that there could be consistency problems, due to the variance of experience. However you should bear in mind that you are buying a cigar that is between half to One Tenth of the price of most cigars of the same vitola.

This cigar came to me feeling a bit dry, I discarded its little box and put it to rest in the humidor for month by which time it was looking and smelling wonderful. Compared to Toscano and other Italian cigars it is well rolled and nicely presented. It would not be right to compare it to a Cuban, they wont be to everyones taste but they are unique and of interest to an adventurous palate or an Italian sympathiser.
It lit well and with that first puff my taste buds were hit by an extraordinary combination of herbaceous notes, particularly mint and aniseed with supportive and very appealing dry, earthy tobacco flavours. It burned evenly and with a steadiness that allowed for a good quantity of smoke without being hot. The ash was almost white and very solid. The flavours and aroma remained rich and defined throughout and about halfway down the mint turned towards menthol and the whole experience was reminiscent of strolling through a rocky sun drenched herb garden. It smoked down further than I had expected and gave me about 40 mins of curious pleasure. It was certainly unusual but ve

If I could afford to smoke these 3 times a day I would. Faultless.

Im a relative novice and this is my first review of my 5th cigar. Really tried to take my time with it after reading some articles about enhancing enjoyment and it paid off. First third was lovely and gave me toasted nutty flavours and a hint of vanilla. I paired it with a 12 year old Aberlour which made it quite sweet on my palate in the middle third. I may have been going a bit too slow as it went out just before the band and was quite bitter for the first draw after relighting. Last 3rd was quite grassy with hints of hay and and tangy on the tongue. This has been my favourite so far and gave me 35 minutes of enjoyment.
The products arrived promptly and in pristine condition after ordering.

Really enjoyable smoke, can’t give you any reason on taste notes etc just know it was very enjoyable with a nice glass of Japanese single malt whiskey, and I will buy again
Thanks to all the cgars team for the excellent service they provide

Lit easily. Didnt go out. A consistent smooth smoke throughout until the very end with only a slight peppery taste. I would say this took me an hour to smoke but i am a slow smoker so i would probably guess about 30 - 45 minutes. Will buy again.
