Don’t judge these based on price! Far better in my opinion than any cuban mini. Sweet flavour on the retro-hale and great nicotine strength for a very relaxing after effect. My new go-to smoke and only have a big cuban now for special occasions because for me there’s just no need anymore. Thank you Royal Dutch!

I love the SG 1872 Flake and when I saw that this was the plug version I was keen to try it out. Out of the bag it has an incredibly strong smell of alcohol, it really does punch the nostrils with a full fist, so I was looking forward to this coming through in the taste. I cut some into cubes, allowed them to dry for three hours and then filled a bowl. Sadly there was no flavour of alcohol at all in the smoke, there was not a lot of flavour at all. The strong, rich, full bodied tobacco taste that was so prevalent in the 1872 Flake was toned down. There was quite a strong peppery flavour, Ill assume its perique and the slightly sweet note of vanilla that was in the back end of the 1872 Flake was also missing. It wasnt flat out awful, it simply made for a rather boring smoke. There was no tongue bite at all with this and it was certainly a very slow burning tobacco, I only sampled a small amount, about a third of a bowl, and this burned for 30 minutes. Given I sampled an explosion of flavours with the SG Cannon Plug the previous day, this one sadly left me extremely disappointed.

Quality cigar. Sweet smooth tones, but can definitely feel there is still some strength there. Construction was perfect, as you would expect from Oliva. 1 burn touch up, which is excellent. Would highly recommend!

Having smoked and enjoyed one or two of this brands Robusto, I bought a bundle of twenty five. A goodly number of them, more than ten were, so badly constructed as to be totally impossible to smoke. They were packed with stalks and something odd that looked like a pale, squashed snake. I told C.Gars about them, realising it was not their fault but asking if they would pass my complaint to the manufacturer. That must have fallen down a deep well because I heard nothing about these cigars. If these are going to be as badly made in the future, I would never, ever buy any again.

If youre looking for a value smoke look no further. Great taste and smooth pull. Ill be trying the larger one next time.

Great taste. I had issues with uneven burning throughout and the experience was lessened a bit having to constantly maintain it. Other than that a great value cigar and Ill definitely be ordering again.
