H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Luke

A decent shortish smoke, would be perfect with a coffee because its mild. Burn and draw are really smooth.

Montecristo Open Regata Cigar - 1 Single (Best Dad Band) by Luke

Very disappointing for the price. I bought this to celebrate my daughter being born. The draw was difficult so I had to snip off a bit more than what I started with. The burn was a bit uneven and not as attractive as other similar priced cigars. There was a really hard block of ash in the middle towards the end so I dont know what that was or if that had anything to do with my bad experience. Taste was bland but ok. Maybe a one off looking at the other reviews but I wont be buying this brand again.

Romeo y Julieta Exhibition No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single by Patrick

This had great potential but was so tight it was hard to draw enough smoke into my mouth to be able to really taste. It was milder than I had expected but now and again gave a hint of what it might have been had it been less tight. Towards the end the wrapper split which was annoying. I’d try another but at this price the quality control needs to be improved.

Joya de Nicaragua Silver Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Lee

I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar. Well constructed and a nice even burn. My mint tea certainly complimented it. Defknteky would buy again.

Caldwell Eastern Standard Euro Express Cigar - 1 Single by gavin

From mobile (apologies for any spelling/formatting errors): Smoking the cigar at the moment, I was about to post a ‘disappointed’ review. White pepper and little else to begin with. I also had to make quite a deep cut to get a decent draw . . . then . . . the middle third: the creaminess starts to come through: the burn perfect. Still the pepper, but calmed down by the creamy, faint vanilla sweetness. Paired with a Shackleton as an experiment but I think it would go better with a nice rum. Down to the last third, the draw is still firm, but not tight, a little leather coming through, the burn still perfect. I had wondered if the Caldwell line was partly hype, but this cigar (the lower end of their pricing) is at least good enough to make me want to work my way up. The build is excellent, the draw so-so (if like me you like lots of smoke) and the true flavour takes a wee while to come through, but this is definitely proof that the Caldwell line isn’t just all hype. I’ll definitely be buying another to judge consistency, at the very least. Last third: now more

Camacho Connecticut Machitos Cigar - 1 Single by Steven

Bought as a Camacho sampler pack. First impressions, a tidy compact, well made panatella. Punched it and had a pleasant 15-20 mins in the garden. Not much complexity in the flavour, but never the less it was a fairly pleasant experience, maybe a little on the bolder side of mild. It stayed lit, burned evenly so I look forward to trying the other two in the sampler pack, I wouldnt be dissapointed if they were both as good as this.
