Smoked in both a corn cob legend and a falcon coolway.
Wow! The best black cherry Ive tried so far.
This tobacco is pungent! Open the bag and the smell of ripe black cherries full the room.
Does come quite moist and benefits from being air dried in a container or on paper for an hour but burns well straight from the pack.
No tongue bite if not packed too tight or smoked too eagerly.
Taste is good,very sweet if you like that not complicated.
Room note is superb. Great beginners tobacco.
Try it, youll be back for more.

Chinchalero Culebra - 3 Cigars Twist
by Jason
I bought a box of these and was impressed with the rustic vibe of them. The tobacco leaf stems binding the 3 cigars together, and the tobacco leaf packaging were a nice touch and right up my street - I dont do posh !!
I found them to be a nice tasting smoke, and I admit that I had some reservations as to how the shape of them would affect their burn, however, I neednt have worried though as they all burnt fairly slowly and evenly.
I found it interesting when reading about these cigars. Im almost certain that Culebra means Snake in Spanish, and from what I read, these cigars are deliberately made in this fashion because they were given to the tobacco farmers / cigar makers, some of who would sometimes help themselves to the cigars meant for exporting. By giving the workers the twisted Culebras, the bosses etc of the cigar farms could identify anybody who was smoking any cigars that they shouldnt be.
All in all, I liked them and would recommend them to anybody and I would also buy them again.

Initially harsh and bitter but soon settled down. The first third was like no other cigar I have smoked and had hints of Cuba about it. The second third was like a Montecristo Puritos at full tilt - quite strong. Final third was the usual spice at the end of most cigars. The draw was easy and the burn good. At this price point its an OK cigar but for me its just too brash and I probably wouldnt buy another one.

Nicely presented good looking cigar. Construction was good as was the draw and the burn. Unfortunately this cigar just wasnt to my liking - its way too earthy and the other detected flavours faded too soon making the cigar unbalanced. Sadly didnt detect any spicy coffee either. This was my third Quorum and they have all been either horrid or very disappointing. As budget cigars go I feel theres better out there. Feel other reviewers ratings are somewhat generous. Not recommended.

H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single
by Nigel
Initially flavour was modest with an evenish burn and nice draw. Later on the flavour increased and I detected some pepper and slight nuttyness. As the cigar progressed the nuttyness became more distinct and to me was like KP dry roasted peanuts - very nice. This continued until the the nuttyness faded into the usual spicy mush you get at the end of cigars. Even then I detected the ocassional herby note. Overall this cigar was not what I was expecting. It wasnt as Cuban as other Cubans Ive smoked but due to the very authentic nuttyness just as enjoyable. Considering price and the enjoyment factor its a cigar I can recommend.
