Not impressed with these. Pleasant, slightly minty aroma from the unlit cigar. First impression on lighting up was of a crackle of rapid burning and a harsh, peppery, burnt feathers taste. This set off a sneezing attack when I was halfway through. Draw and flavour improved a little as I continued to smoke. I had to pour a glass of beer afterwards to drown the taste. Lasted me about 25 minutes, but if you are in search of an affordable everyday smoke the Henri Winterman or J Cortes coronas are bigger, nicer and will last for 45 minutes at about the same price.

Terribly tight draw, cigar became too hot due to pulling too hard on the little smoke that did pass through. Thoroughly disappointed as could have been a very nice cigar.

I’ve had a couple of these now. They’re lovely, great construction, good draw and flavours. Although I do prefer their blue banded twin they still get top marks.

I really liked this cigar. I recently had one in the garden, mid afternoon with a coffee. The construction is superb. A lovely smooth wrapper with nary a blemish to be seen. The draw is great, it holds its ash very well; mine got nearly halfway down before it fell off. It’s flavourful with a subtle complexity. Not too strong either. The second half of the cigar is, of course, the best, although there wasn’t much variation that I noticed. My only real criticism is that it seemed to burn a tad faster than I’m used to. That’s not enough to drop its rating though. Get yourself a couple. You won’t be disappointed.

As CGars is my go to cigar shop I thought Id review these minis on here...just to confirm I did not buy these minis from this site. I picked these up as I had ran out of my RYJ and Monte minis. Right of the bat I would say I will never buy these again! Whilst I understand these are machine made, I would have expected a better construction. They feel loosely rolled and when smoking them the filler ends up in your mouth. I personally found them to have a chemical taste. If you are looking for a quick smoke, I would spend the extra £££ and go for RYJ/Monte/Cohiba minis...dont waste your money on these! Overall on a scale of 1-10, 10 being Wow...I would give these a 2. M.

A bit disappointing really. First of all the service from cgars Ltd was as always up to its usual high standards and none of the points below reflect on them.
I bought this as a treat to myself and an upgrade to the much smaller humidor I had been using.
I was somewhat disappointed to have to bend
both the hook in the lock mechanism to allow the door to be locked and the door stay arm which was rubbing on the side panel of the humidor itself.
The bung in the back to allow an electric humidifier is slightly smaller than the hole that has been cut meaning thats its fairly loose.
The hygrometer (allegedly precalibrated) never reads the same as the two digital hygrometers i have used (and calibrated myself). This would be less annoying if it were easy to adjust but adorini seem to think that a standard flat bladed screwdriver is not for them.
Some of the dividers for the shelf have teeth cut into them in order to slot into the grooves of the shelf. Most of these are fine but a few had to be sanded down to fit.
The plastic brass feet look cheap and nasty.
