My goodness, what a cigar !!!
This cigar is truly unique. So sweet to the last puff and gorgeous puffs off botanicals. The cigar almost puts on a show with gorgeous waves of sweet smoke and the odd hiss when it hits the sweets spots of that oily wrapper.
Expect to experience flavours such as, sweetness, herbs, gorgeous earthy aromas, fresh fruit, and that gorgeous creamy sweet smoke.
This has to be the best smoke I’ve had, simple due to the show this cigar performed. So many gorgeous flavours, thick plumes of smoke caressing it’s side, the hiss when it hits those gorgeous sweet spots.
My goodness, what a cigar ! You NEED to try this !

This cigar was great. During the first third I had a bit of a wonky burn, but after a quick correction it burnt beautifully right up until the nub. The ash held incredibly well which is a testament to its construction. As for tasting notes I had, earthy, leathery and slight peppery tones right up until the last third where sweet dark chocolatey molasses took over. The reason I am only giving it 4 out of 5 stars is, in my taste, it was more full bodied than medium as described. But that is just my taste and should take nothing from the cigar itself.

I was very excited for this cigar ! I was eager to try such a well known and loved cigar. Unfortunately my experience was not all good !
The worst thing about this cigar was the burn. It was so uneven and unfortunately I had to re light and touch up this cigar many times and even cut it again as the burn was that bad !
ThatÂ’s the only bad thing about this cigar, maybe I just got a bad batch. The flavour on the other hand was good ! It was creamy and earthy, the flavour profile stays the same untill the last 1/3, when it changed to more of a chocolate/ coffee. Unfortunately I put the cigar out shortly after the half way mark as the flavours were changing due to the bad burn.
Definitely a good beginners cigar and I would recommend to try it !

Traditional flat tin, easy to load the bowl and excellent cool smoke, and does not die after a moment or two without a puff

Excellent 15-20 minute smoke. This is consistently smooth throughout and is very well constructed. Definitely a great beginner smoke in that it is light and creamy with hints of spice toward the middle and not harsh at all. I will definitely be buying again!

Stalla Dhu Islay - 70cl 40%
by John
For an Islay, mid peaty and decent mid heavy taste. It's not as tarry as caol ila, and on the sweet side. A good session whisky, one I'll happily drink all might
