H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Austin
Ive tried a few of these now from 3 different boxes, feeling that surely I must have just had bad luck at first. Every single one of these little things Ive tried has been bitter and with an acrid note that lingers in my mouth. Some ground coffee and nuts with an old toasted tobacco quality, but otherwise bitter, acrid and pointless. Despite the tiny length I just couldnt finish any of them they were so unpleasant. The last one I left to rest in the humidor for a few more months and carefully lit it on a nice day after a good meal with my palate feeling very fresh. Still it was the same unpleasant flavour. The only cigar Ive had lately that was worse was the aptly named Dirty Rat from Drew Estate, which wasnt just a poor or unpleasant cigar but just outright disgusting. From other reviews there must surely be much better examples out there that are quite different, but I can only rate it as I have experienced it. Very poor.

CAO Pilon Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
A great experience, very well balanced and constructed cigar.

Medium to full-bodied cigar, solid consrtuction. Peppery from the outset. Initially it burned unevenly, however in the second third it evened itself out. Lots of smoke and easy draw all the way down. The flavours arent complex and there was not much of a change all the way down but at this price point its a solid option. Smoke time for me was 60 minutes and it went really well with my black coffee. Will be buying again.

Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro - 1 Single
by Stephen
Good for an hour and a quarter. Pleasingly mild. I bought ten and had a slight problem of uneven burning with three, probably due to my faulty lighting-up technique. Unbeatable value at the price.

A sweet and creamy cigar, taste is superb for the price.

Really enjoyed this cigar and at an excellent price. Great taste, plenty of thick smoke. Stocking up the humidor with some of these.
