I tried these as alternative to my normal RyJ. And montecristo cigarillos. On first opening box thought they looked a bit roughly rolled compared to normal ones. But I can honestly say smoked lovely with a nice full flavour. Really good quick smoke. Highly recommended. I have now purchased few of there bigger ones looking forward to trying very soon.

Got this as part of a sampler and really enjoyed it, nice light and creamy smoke with no draw issues for me. It surprised me massively as I had kinda written it off, we be purchasing more of these soon. A great morning / mid morning smoke with a coffee or after breakfast. I can see myself taking some on holiday and having either lazing by the pool or walking along a beach somewhere. It’s light but flavourful and an inexpensive stick that punches above its weight for sure. Don’t let the other reviews put you off buy one or two or three you won’t be disappointed, I recommend placing in the humidor for a good few weeks and then taking it out an hour or so before smoking

Conquistador Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Frankie
Was curious to test one of these. Upon inspection, she is well wrapped and has a decent draw. She toasted well and sparked up with no drama. First impressions are mild and creamy, but strong in the nicotine stakes. She definitely has some charm thats for sure.
She is a big girl and exudes that dictator character. Good burn and the ash is nice and white. I am looking for an everyday smoke but feel that this is a touch heavy. The creamy notes are developing with a nice spicy woody undertone. Most definitely different and reminds me of a Rocky. She has that sun grown twang going on.
Plenty of smoke and as I hit the 2nd 3rd she is developing a earthy dark chocolate profile, with an oak undertone. This stick is quite surprising tbh, quite a complex flavour profile going on, but heavy in essence. Not a morning smoke but after dinner definitely.
For the price I am quite surprised to be fair, will be interesting to see how the flavours develop over time.
Just past the 2nd 3rd and the cream has come back. I am smoking this with a white wine and although interesting, would prob

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Frankie
There are a lot of reviews about this cigar, but I thought that I would chuck my hat in the ring and offer an opinion. This particular cigar was one that rekindled my love affair with cigars. I have smoked a few of these in my time, and generally other than an odd tight draw which really does grind my gears, this cigar has been a benchmark for me.
This particular cigar was tbh, lacking of that signature whiff that just makes me go weak at the knees. I am not sure how long this has sat for, and do not claim to be an aficionado, I just wished that it had more punch. Maybe I was having an off day?
The wrap was good, and after a slight toast she fired up. The burn was even, clean, and consistent other than a bit of dark ash at the beginning of the first 3rd, she settled down nice. As for taste the first 3rd was quite uneventful tbh. I was waiting for the flavour but it only started developing when I hit the halfway mark.
Body was bordering on full with this one, and she is strong. But did not give me that chill that some cheaper alternatives have gave me lately. Which is inte

Trinidad Reyes Cigar - 1 Single
by Matt
Very enjoyable- A smooth draw induces thick creamy smoke, Spicy on the tongue then a vanilla/cinnamon palate followed by sweetness on the lips. Really enjoyed this one perfect 30 / 40 mins relaxed smoke. Couples nicely with a robust coffee and fine to have around late morning or after lunch. Had a couple tight draws in the final 3rd but nothing out of the ordinary.
It’s worth a try for sure, I was a little unsure due to comments on hear but I was extremely happy with this lovely little smoke

Id like to start by stating that Condor long cut is one of my favourite pipe tobaccos, but this is a different kettle of fish entirely. Whilst the long cut is a lovely taste of tobacco, this is a very floral and soapy taste. I really did not enjoy this tobacco. To the point where I didnt even come close to finishing half of the bowl. Not recommended.
