Date Added: Tuesday 14 October, 2025
Quad jet flame so incredibly powerful, perhaps a touch overkill for anything but the heaviest ring gauges, as expected it's completely wind resistant. Gets a touch hot with constant use; however, it's not untouchable and it never gets so hot it stops working. Unsurprisingly it's also really quite heavy, not overly but you know it's in your pocket; however, you could ditch your cutter if you use the built in punch, I haven't, but it seems pretty sharp. The built in cigar rest in the lid is surprisingly useful and construction whilst not top notch seems decent enough.

Cohiba Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by Shaun
As someone who is fairly new to the world of cigars, I recently had the opportunity to try a Cohiba Short, and it was an interesting experience overall. From the moment I opened the pack, I was impressed by the presentation. The cigar felt well made, with a rich aroma that hinted at quality tobacco. For a beginner like myself, that initial scent alone was enough to spark some excitement and curiosity.
Upon lighting, the draw was smooth and the smoke output was satisfying, especially for such a compact cigar. The flavor profile started off rich with earthy notes and a hint of spice that added some character. I could definitely appreciate the craftsmanship and why Cohiba has such a strong reputation among cigar enthusiasts.
That being said, I did find the harshness a bit stronger than I expected, especially toward the middle and final third. As someone who is still developing a palate for cigars, the intensity caught me slightly off guard. While it wasn’t overwhelming, it did remind me that the Cohiba Short is still a bold and flavorful smoke despite its small size.
Overall, I

Backwoods Blue Cigars - Pack of 5
by Stuart
The Backwoods Blue Cigars are a really nice smoke at a reasonable price. They last about 20 minutes and have that familiar Backwoods flavour, just with a subtle hint of vanilla that makes them a bit smoother and sweeter. The draw is easy, and the flavour’s mild enough to enjoy without feeling heavy.
They’re not something I’d reach for every day, but they make a great once a week treat, something a bit different to mix in with your regular smokes. Overall, a tasty, easy going cigar that hits that middle ground between casual and special.

I was very disappointed with this purchase. The 1st cigar was a good smoke and I thought this was a steal for the price.
The 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th cigar were terrible smokes. The draw on the cigar was almost impossible as I was either straining to draw or had to keep trying to re-light the cigar. The outer fell apart on all of the cigars bar the 1st. The taste left in my mouth after each draw attempt was harsh and unsavoury. A very uncomfortable smoke and wasn't relaxing at all.
Would not recommend.

This was part of an Avo sampler offer and tried it a few nights ago. I'm not great at identifying different tastes in a cigar but picked up what seemed to be a lovely chocolate taste in the first part. Fairly loose draw but plenty of delicious smoke and burnt well. Thoroughly enjoyed this and would buy again.

The J. Cortes High Class Dominican Corona (White Tubed) is a nice, decent sized cigar that offers good value for money. It’s mild and smooth with no harshness or lingering aftertaste, which makes it an easy smoke, especially if you prefer something lighter. The construction’s solid, and the tube makes it handy to store without worrying about a humidor for a while.
For me though, it’s just a bit too mild. I found myself wishing for a bit more depth or a touch of sweetness on the lips, which this one doesn’t really have. Still, it’s a pleasant, uncomplicated cigar and a good option if you like mellow flavours or want something to enjoy without too much intensity.
