American Blends Black and Brown - Big fan of this one due to its understated but complex sweetness. Cocoa rules here and it makes for a comforting smoke that can be enjoyed any time of day or night. Reminiscent of popcorn, warm cookies and hot chocolate.

American Blends Coffee Caramel - A pleasant and unusual smoke owing to a sweet casing. My only problem with this one is the slightly saccharine aftertaste, which prevailed a little longer than I'd have liked. Other than that, would recommend to aromatics fans looking for something different.

Ramon Allones Small Club Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Mohammed
1. Appearance & Construction.
From the outset this cigar looks amazing. Nice brown wrapper. Smooth to touch and feel. Gold and red label that screams regal, prestige. Cigar had decent weight to it and filled to perfection.
15 points.
2. Flavor & Aroma.
Even before lighting theres a strong earthy, chocolatey smell that tantalises the taste buds. The flavor was strong. Could taste earthy leathery tones with chocolate in the background, but balanced to perfection. Halfway through the 2nd 3rd the flavor develops with a wonderful spicy blackpepercorn taste that has been balanced with the chocolate. Youd expect nothing less from a Cuban. Flavor was out of this world!
25 points.
3. Smoking Characteristics.
From cutting to lighting everything came with ease for this cigar. The draw was perfection considering how much tobacco was packed into this beauty. The burn was even all throughout the smoke. Smoke felt cool and at no point did it feel warm. Cigar did not go out and the taste kept getting better and better.
25 points.
4. Overall Experience.
This was a plea

Im afraid I clashed with this one.
Found the hot notes way too firery to such an extent i did not really pick out any flavours other than a tiny bit of burnt toffee .... and thats pushing it!
Maybe it caught me on a bad day, i dont know however, based on initial tasting this is definitely not my cup of tea.

This is good stuff!
Drink this and be taken back hay bailing in an episode of Little House on the Prairie.
Sweet, dry grass and well controlled fire in the mouth. I tried this with a Hoyo Epicure No.2 and due to the light-volatile aromatics of this Rye it worked very well.
For me, a mouthful of summer, thoroughly enjoyed it and was left wanting more!
100% recommend and would buy for myself.

Stalla Dhu Islay - 70cl 40%
by Jason
Found this a little too punchy on the peat for my taste however, in an attempt to be objective: a good mix of all the classic Islay traits with the later notes lingering pleasantly in the mouth for a good length of time. A whisky to be taken slowly!
Would recommend and buy for friends who like Islay Whiskies.
