Nice size well crafted leather pouch and packed with a lovely dark fruity aromatic tobacco.
I will definitley be ordering more ... Its a mystery but pleasantly surprising smoke.
Cheers Liam !!

I really wanted to love these, because at that price itd be a steal if they were amazing. But theyre just not. First one was plugged and tasted of nothing, with next to no smoke. Next one wasnt plugged, drew ok but burnt very unevenly and was pretty foul until the last third when it became surprisingly tasty. Not that I could enjoy it because it fell apart. So very disappointing, and Im hoping that by the time I finish the 10 pack at least a few have been better than my first two.

This is the 1st time I have purchased one of these cigars & I am very impressed. I prefer a milder cigar & this really hit the spot. The draw was very good & it lasted a good 45 minuets. I was so impressed that I have already ordered a box of five.

First time trying this cigar. I had a very enjoyable smoke and will re-order more.

As a relative newbie, my perspective may not be as informed as others, however for other people just coming into cigar smoking, I would give this one a miss.
Very peppery at the start and certainly mellowed towards the end. The final third was certainly the most enjoyable part, but at that point it was starting to smoke hot, which took away from the flavour a little. Earthy and spicy notes throughout which became more balanced as it progressed, however it needed multiple touch ups and I found the burn quite uneven.
Started this off with spring water, but I changed to an Irish single malt which greatly enhanced the experience and this is where the cigar became a more enjoyable experience.
A good 30 to 40 minute smoke. Not bad, but not great.

Back in the day, I had a friendly merchant in The USA who would ship to The UK & they would regularly send free samples, usually of Gurkhas. Of the dozen or so I tried, I didnt find a single one I wanted to smoke again! They all tasted dirty, for the want of a better word. Strong, dusty & rather unpleasant. A decade later I decided to give this little one a try and even though I find pig tail caps really annoying (require both clipping AND punching!) this proved to be one of the most enjoyable sticks I have smoked! Nice white ash that stays together well, not too hot a smoke and a very mild flavour, which was surprising from a Maduro. Just ordered a box as a result.
