Montecristo No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Chris
I purchased a single Monte 2 back in August 2018 and finally got around to smoking it.The flavours were phenomenal; smooth and creamy to begin with, gradually developing into a combination of almond, cedar and spice, the smoke leaving a oily finish on the lips and palette. Unfortunately the construction was definitely not up to scratch; The draw was so loose it felt like I was sucking through an empty straw, I had to double-puff regularly to get decent smoke output and it went out 3-4 times in the space of an hour if I put it down for more than just 30 seconds. In the final third the cigar finally started smoking like a chimney and the flavours really kicked it up a notch but the strength kicked up too and since Im a bit of a lightweight I had to lay the cigar down... before having a little lie down myself!
Despite all the problems I had with the Monte 2 it was still by far the most enjoyable and best tasting cigar I have had to date. On my budget the Monte 2 is by no means an everyday smoke and buying a 10/25 is unlikely, but setting aside a pack of 3 for special occasions is def

A nice surprise and very palatable Tobacco from Mr Liam, plus If you like a few options when out fishing or walking then a pouch of soft leather with rubber lining or two is very useful to boot. A great deal.

A quick little smoke. Tried at the same time as the flame blend for a comparison. These have a much easier draw and a generic tobacco flavour. Lasts about 5 minutes each. Prefer the flame blend

My first ever cigar as part of a sampler and i have to say that i am extremely surprised how great this cigar tastes.It seems well packed and burns slowly, mild smoke, spicy and liquorice taste which leaves a pleasant sweet taste on the palate.
The aroma isnt very strong but you know its a cigar allright.
Good draw and burn with a little tingling sensation in my mouth
Went out 1/3rd through so relit, taste is a little spicier the further you go with it, all in all i am very pleased with this great value cigar and will be one on my list to go back to.

Casa Turrent 1973 Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
Im quite pleasantly surprised by this cigar. I dont want the extra points for saying this but Im glad I got a subscription box and have forced myself to try new things. It lights easy, has an even burn and fairly light draw but produces lots of smoke. Theres not much change in the flavour profile of the cigar , where it was quite woody and sweet, other than in the final third where the taste of pepper and leather with nuts come into play and quite full in terms of flavour, although the subtle sweetness remains the same. I will be putting this on my future to buy list.
