A very pleasant afternoon smoke in the sun, with Arturo Fuentes MR No.52 as my companion. Let me start by saying that the pre-light aroma was a little boring, but dont let that put you off, as once I lit up, it was a different story. Construction was not as good as I have seen from A.Fuente, with a slight crack in the binder, and a looseness around the cap, but overall ok.
Once alight, the draw was impeccable, with copious amounts of creamy smoke available with each puff. Underlying was a sweetness that lasted throughout the stick, with nuts cedar and leather, with a little cocoa. Flavours changed in proportion to each other from the first third to the last, but it wasnt overly complex. However, this was a perfect afternoon cigar, with a really even burn and an easy laid back feel to it. No input from me was needed at anytime to keep it burning straight and true and I really enjoyed this cigar. I would say its medium strength and whilst it doesnt have lots of subtle flavour nuances that some of the best do, this is a really nice smoke and easy to enjoy without thinking about it

Unfortunately mine dropped to bits. Draw was to tight. Big big disappointed. Waste of good money.

This cigar had a lot of nice tasting notes, the first third brought floral, light coffee and woody flavours. The second and last third gave smooth roasted nut/coffee flavours. I imagine this cigar would be great for an afternoon smoke. The reason I am only giving 3/5 as a score is the burn was very wonky and just wouldnt be corrected no matter what I did, which was a shame as one side seemed to want to burn a hell of a lot quicker than I wanted to smoke it.

As a novice to the cigar world, very pleasant 35 min smoke from this stick. Opened woody/leathery but by the last third, mellowed into a very smooth, almost cream coffee flavour with a little spice on the lips -- very nice! Not too strong or full either, good for me as Im a lightweight. Definitely would recommend for the price.

I cut the end off and tried a dry draw and it was too tight, I cut some more off and still to snug. I then toased it and got it burning, the first few draws were tasteless. Near the end of the first 3rd it was a funny taste. Into the 2nd 3rd I knew it was not going to be good. In the last 3rd I could taste cream and a bit of black pepper. But it only was for about 5 draws. I was so disappointed, and it was a £ 10.50 Cuban, I will never recommend it

Pretty looking and well constructed but overall, really bland. It lasted a long time and was pleasant enough, but no real flavour there.
