A lovely little cigar. Nit too strong but full of flavour. Burn was a little off to begin but fine after and inch with a touch up. Goes extremely well with a strong black Americano or espresso.

Had to baby this one for the first 25mins as it was over packed and didn’t want to burn, it got very mushy, hardly got any flavour or smoke out of it, but when I did there were some lovely chocolate notes, I had to touch up the burn as this went very wonky and started to canoe, the last two and a half inches got very hot and bitter, this was not a humidification problem on my part as all my other cigars smoke beautifully, the good points are it has an oily wrapper and if it had burned, would of gave off some really nice flavour, it’s a shame, think I just got a dud one here, might try this one again, maybe..!

Montecristo Open Master Cigar - 1 Single
by Sabato
It looked good enough, well made and smelt pretty good. The first third was less smokey than I would have liked but drew well. Predominantly woody notes with a very slight peppery taste. Second third had much better smoke but still oak and cedar notes came through. The final third had slightly more pepper but the woody notes remain the main feature of this cigar. The burn was very uneven which I was a bit disappointed with, burning a V down one side until the final third where it side burned but the ash held up nicely. Very one dimensional but not an effort to smoke. I wouldnt buy a box but one or two in the humidor wouldnt go amiss. Rather light for a Montecristo but I guess that was the idea with this run. I chose to punch mine, I believe a V cut would have been a better choice. Not a bad cigar, but not a great cigar. One for the Golf course. Lasted a good 45-50mins. Worth a try!

Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - 1 Single
by Simon
This has got to be the worst cigar Ive ever had. Bought it at close of play from Chester to have while having a swift pint. Cant tell you what the Ash burn was like because it didnt stay lit long enough to get any, when it did light it burned uneven every time at one point it burned down the center of the cigar leaving the sides unlit. It reminded me of one of my nans woodbines from years ago, cigar seemed damp inside could not get a draw from it at all, binned it half way down and its not a large cigar. Will not be buying this brand again, maybe a bit harsh but you expect to be able to enjoy all there brands regardless of the price.

Camacho Corojo Machitos Cigar - 1 Single
by Arthur
Interesting to read what others thought about this one. I thought I was alone regarding the spicyness being a newbie to cigars! The spicyness kicks off pretty soon but I found that it did become more mellow towards the middle (or perhaps I just adapted to the heat!). I too felt quite light headed but managed to make my way across the lawn back to base camp. Although a newbie I seem to have prefer strong smokes and have to admit that overall I really enjoyed this - going off soon to collect another one. Strong but something quite enticing about this - the spicyness is really apparent!

This is an overpriced cigar, saying that it is a tasty treat. For its tiny size it packs a punch massive flavor typical on the brand. For the price I’d probably pick up something like an Inka
