Inca Secret Blend Tambo Cigar - 1 Single by Dave

So here we are, May the twenty... fourth be with you. Lockdown partially lifted but no real intentions to go anywhere. So, it’s the back garden, a large strong coffee and the one single cigar I have lit this year. Been sat in humidor for 12 months I think? Prelight and I’m unsure: Montecristo are my favourites. Gently toasted (so I moved into the shade at bottom of garden), a few light draws to get it going and, wow. Super flavour, not strong or harsh but gently developing more depth. Burns even and holds ash well, getting woodier? as I’m now halfway through, but really enjoying it. In summary, I would recommend, and will be adding more to my humidor!

Inka Secret Blend Blue Bombaso Maduro Cigar - 1 Single by Chris

Torn. On the one hand, kudos to a >50 ring guage stick for 1hr of smoking time. On the other hand, a real Jekyll and Hyde experience. Good, firm construction, a tight cap, the wrapper feels great; but the draw is tight and it doesnt express much smoke. After the first inch I can find warm spice and caffe latte; but its over a background of vegetal notes and some ammonia.

Rizla Flavour Card - Menthol Extreme (Formerly Menthol Chill) - Box of 25 by MADELEINE

Work best (and really effectively) if you buy new green cigarettes, eg, Bensen & Hedges, which have white tips (like the old menthol ones) rather than cork tips of ordinary cigarettes. Just my own experience. Still a bit of a faff because you have to insert the menthol card for at least an hour (several hours is better!) for real menthol flavour but it does kick in so be patient.

Independencia 1898 Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Oliver

New to cigars, after trying a fair few recently this is 100% up there with my favourites. I found it to be really flavourful and smooth, with a smoking time of around 45 minutes.

Jose L Piedra Conservas Cigar - 1 Single by Eóin

Cuban at its best I love the roughness of the wrapper. IÂ’ve smoked Top notch Cubans and for the price IÂ’m coming back to these every time
