Date Added: Saturday 11 October, 2025
This was my first H. Upmann, so I was excited to try it. A smooth smoke with very woody and savoury notes throughout. It paired perfectly with a glass of Ron Abuelo 12 años. It's worth noting, it had a slightly tight draw and took some puffing to keep it going, but overall a very enjoyable smoke.

I first tried this cigar in a sampler and have since bought a few more. The construction is excellent as I have found with every other Regius cigar I have smoked. It is quite mild at first but develops into a really good tasty smoke. These normally last me and hour and are really good value. Cheap enough to be an everyday smoking cigar.

C.Gars Ltd Dutch Blend Corona - 1 Single
by Joshua
A pleasant smooth and creamy smoke with a decent aroma.
Not complex flavour but consistent and enjoyable. Only really getting slightly bitter in the last 3rd. Very impressive for this price point. The perfect budget smoke.

The Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro Coronet really didn’t do it for me. I was expecting something a bit special given the brand, but it ended up tasting more like a cheap cigar, maybe slightly better than a Hamlet, but not by much. I kept it in my humidor at 65%, and it smoked fine in terms of burn and draw, lasting about 10 - 15 minutes, but the flavour just wasn’t there.
It felt flat, a bit harsh, and nowhere near the quality I’ve had from other Drew Estate cigars. Honestly, it was the most disappointing one from them so far. I’d give it a 4/10, not completely awful, but a long way from what I’d hoped for. Definitely not one I’ll be rushing to buy again.

This was a very pleasant cigar which I purchased after reading the reviews. Well constructed it burned straight all the way through, I didn't have to relight it at all. This is one I shall be reordering again and I am looking forward to trying more from Oliva.

Mitchellero Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Stuart
The Mitchellero Robusto got full marks from me, 10/10. From start to finish, it felt like I was smoking something expensive, which is always nice for its price point. Big, bold, and satisfying. The burn was totally even, no touch-ups needed, and the draw was solid once it got going.
I smoked mine fresh (I think it came out of my humidor at around 65 % or so) and it delivered. Every third brought something a little different, subtle shifts in flavour, maybe a bit more earth or spice, which kept things interesting. This stick shows they know what they’re doing even on more everyday cigars.
For a robusto sized cigar that feels like it should cost more, this one’s a keeper. Definitely one I’ll make sure to always have in the humidor.
