A must-have for every humidor. These are unique short filler hand-rolled cigars (and they are packed) like I would expect to find rolled on a farm in Cuba. Now it tastes almost like a Bolivar but heavier and more earthy. I would just like to mention this might be more suited to an experienced cigar smoker as the draw is not easy and the cigar makes you work to get the unique aromas out of it, but it is worth it. I smoke a wide range of cigars and this one is in my top 5 must-have as it is a budget cuban with attitude.

Cohiba Siglo I Cigar - 1 Single
by Aaron
Great cigars, sadly with inconsistency with Cubans the two I bought one was unsmokable. For the average joe these are to pricey to have bad ones.

This looks beautiful, long and elegant and the dark almost oscuro wrapper smells amazingly fragrant. Draw, burn, super white ash and smoke output are all first class, and the flavours are a nice and fragrant mix of sweet spices, but body not as strong as the wrapper suggested or as an Opus X. Still this is very good value as they are cheaper and this lasted almost two hours.

Trinidad Reyes Cigar - 1 Single

I would add that to minimise burn and relighting issues, its best to rest your CCs for at least 6 weeks, and when lighting up really do toast them well, make sure the cherry is properly lit up all over, can easily take up to a minute with a large ring gauge.

Excellent construction, strong long ash and a sweet draw but had a few burn issues to straighten out. Flavours were good, thick smoke, sweet woods and some chocolate notes but not as much as I was expecting. Maybe needs resting for a few more months.

This cigar the first Gurkha i have ever tried has brought back my faith that non Cuban cigars can be as good if not better than Cuban cigars, i have had some very poor experiences with non Cuban cigars But this Gurkha 18 year old Cellar Reserve is absolutely fabulous, the foot needs to be carefully lit at the very tip but once lit the draw after a couple of minutes is perfect, the cigar starts off mild to medium then in the second third it is deffinately medium and the final third quite strong, the burn is very good and the ash held until the half way point, the taste is very pleasent and enjoyable indeed, it lasted well over an hour i paired it with a Trappistes Rochefort 10 strong ale 11.3% a very enjoyable afternoon had and will most deffinately buy the cigar and the ale again
