These pipes are excellent value for money ,while they lack the finish of high price ones,they smoke well when broken in .They are ideal for every day carry and despite their small size will take a whole flake of Erinmore tobacco .

Quorum Shade Grown Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Although you can get better for this price, it's a decent budget cigar. I found it had a bit of a burn problem

Having been sticking to Cuban brands for a couple of years I thought I would try a selection of new world smokes. This is the best yet! Mild yet full flavoured, and (might be just me) I had a delicious chocolatey taste from it throughout the burn. I smoked two-thirds last night with a single malt, and (I know you are not supposed to) lit up the final third this morning with a coffee and it still had the lovely sweet taste and continued to burn evenly with copious amounts of smoke to savour. Brilliant! I will definitely be buying a box of ten when I next order.

Pretty bland cigar, burnt quickly with little flavour. Lasted me about 25 minutes.

Great cigar, ignore reviews saying it’s bland, because it’s an absolute cracker. I got my first one as part of the short and quick sampler and bought another one straight away. Now I’m planning on stocking up, excellent draw and composition, great flavours and for £8 what a bargain! Yes the band is too large, but 5-10 mins warmed through and you can take it straight off, plus it’s a conversation starter if anything!

Jose L Piedra Brevas Cigar - 1 Single

This was the last of a budget Cuban sampler which I enjoyed today with a couple of cups of Grumpy Mule Honduran Coffee, after a mornings graft in the garden. When it arrived it was a little dry, so left it in the humidor for four weeks and it was just right despite the wrapper appearing dry. The wrapper is veiny and it has a rustic look to it. I clipped it before I remembered it had a short filler, this resulted in it being a little flaky initially; might have been better if I hadpierced it with a match stick. It is too small to use a punch.
It lit easily and burned very evenly. There was plenty of creamy smoke. The first ash fell after approx third of the smoke on a windy day. Two more ash drops for the entire length. The draw was very easy and consistent throughout.
On my palate this was a mild to medium and I was very pleasantly surprised at the overall taste and quality of the smoke. I enjoyed it enough to smoke it right out without any temptation to stub it out early. The taste was consistent apart from the last inch when it started to taste just a little hot and too peppery
