I am new to the world of Cigars, This is actually my 10th Cigar and it is my most favourite so far,
I have done allot of research about smoking and have found out the best flavour is when the cherry is at its coolest without going out.
I found my draws were quite random and in order to get as close to the temperature i want all of the time i brought Gym boss (HiT Training Timer) This timer can be set to bleep softly at a time you select.
I have found that this cigar is amazing with one Draw every 1 min 30 seconds. I think this can go cooler as-well maybe down to one Draw every 1 min 45 seconds, I will have to test this some more with larger time gaps :)
One thing is for sure the smaller the ring gauge the longer the time between each Draw, it could be possible to be smoking the smaller cigars way too fast compared to the larger ring gauge cigars if you smoke them at the same pace.

Now it’s been a while since I started smoking and have been on the journey with Cgars from day one. On that day I purchased a starter sampler. It had everything you needed and some cigars with the monty no4 one of the figure heads. When I smoked that it had flavour. Nutty, earthy, smooth and noticeably a Montecristo. It started the journey and since then my pallet has developed as has my expectations of a decent smoke.
A lot has changed and as money is not flush given the current climate I thought I’d revisit this former love and it’s fair to say I think this is one that hasn’t stood the test of time.
I know this is a very popular cigar and so I wonder if that’s effected things. It was also less half the price when I first started so that maybe effecting my judgement but as other reviewers have said, my one didn’t really hit me with anything of note. It’s not unpleasant and should be a go to for beginners but others in the brand simply offer more. It may be a bad batch but I’d pay £3 more and take a Petit Edmundo over this any time.

This was sent to me in place of the Blue Bombaso I had ordered (presumably sold out), and Im very grateful to Cgars for sending this slightly more expensive stick in its place. However, as much as I hate being negative, these reviews are here to help and inform - I was disappointed (the following are subjective views and I could well have had a dud). The construction seemed to be very tight and, when lit and throughout smoking, it had a horribly tight draw with very little reward. The cap is extremely shallow and suspect, so I punched it rather than cutting. Very little smoke output and a curious metallic taste throughout, particularly on the retro-hale (which was the only way of garnering any noticeable taste). Lasted around 50 minutes and to be honest I was glad when it was over. I will probably avoid in the future.

This cigar has a very shallow cap, so be careful if cutting!! Nice even burn and produces lots of creamy smoke. Initially seemed a little harsh, but this settled down. Smooth and peppery. Became a little harsh again towards the end. An impressive 1 hour of smoking time though! Would definitely have again.

WOW!! What a great cigar. Good draw. Nicely made and cut well. Smooth all the way through. Slight pepper hit on retro-hale. Good burn (85% sharp). This is a smoke that deserves not to be rushed! Given the price and the time it took to smoke (1 1/2 hours) this might well be the best stick Ive had so far. Latter 3rd slightly harsh retro-hale, but this is a subjective view and I cant regard it as a negative point. Stunning smoke.

Gutted! Was looking forward to this but it let me down. Beautiful looking cigar which cut well and the unlit draw seemed ok. Once lit though the draw proved tight and it didnt really improve. The smoke output was poor. Light body during 1/3, which developed to the low side of medium by the 2/3, which is where it remained throughout. Reasonable burn which needed correcting twice. Draw became very hot halfway through 3/3, with no improvement to smoke output. Lasted a fraction over 40 mins. Overall disappointed, especially for the price. A shame.
