Great smoke, good smooth even draw, lots of smoke, heats up nicely at the end with a more intense heat / draw and taste, i would put this cigar in the medium strength range. Really nice weight and feel to this stick as well.
Looking forward to smoking my next one, as its sitting in my humidor at the moment!!!

Xikar Xi1 Cigar Cutter - Blue

Cuts like a laser sword. Much much better than any other bling bling cutters.

I am sitting here in the garden under the patio heater with a glass of Johnnie Walker black label and one of these fantastic cigars, both of which I picked up for a steal duty free. I have tried plenty of Cuban cigars now and find myself returning to R and J all the time. Price and time allowing the Churchill and Wide Churchill are sublime. However I have found these no 2 to be the most consistent cigars that suit my taste. I’ve found with a lot of other brands that I’ve had more and more inconsistent ones, some absolutely unsmokeable. These start of very mild but develop just before half way leaving a fantastic spicy mouth. Think I am gonna stick with these from now on. Perfect 45-60 minutes of heaven.

My previous review of the Petit Edmundo was severe! That sensation of trying to draw on a stub of tarry rope was durable. Yet my esteemed follow of Kicas (Kingsbarns Cigar Appreciation Society) was unfazed, he remains a dogged devotee of the Pet Ed. So, thinks I, either Johnny boy has no tastebuds - possible, in view of his unstinting persuit of Italian waitresses, preferably tattooed, preferably named Magda, or the Pet Eds reviewed were simply a bad batch. Johnnys oddities apart, we found ourselves in Davidoffs around midnight in Monte Carlo the other evening, perusing the humidor stock. (If you were thinking of robbing the place, I wouldnt: the night staff look quite ready to repel boarders.) Thats not a public school joke. Nor a reference to Russians. To cut it short, J. chose a Pet Ed. in that relentless way of his, which I ended up smoking for him (to repay him for smoking MY R&J Short Churchill), on practically the same Monaco balcony as the last time. The main difference was that this Pet Ed. was a very fine smoke, with none of the harshness, draw issues, or burn problems repo

Bolivar Coronas J Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
Good burn, good draw but very bland. The smaller Tubos #3 has more flavour. I found this one to be mild and tasteless to my palate. This would probably suit someone new to cigars where they are able to notice it more and wont be an assault on their senses, maybe?

This is a beautiful looking cigar with a soft silky wrapper. Unfortunately I had major issues in the 1/3rd with the cigar not drawing properly causing minimal smoke output. This resulted in laboured puffing and a worry that it would last throughout. Tastewise it started very mild with a creamy flavour. But again, it was hard to discern the flavours simply because I wasnt getting enough intake.
Now this cigar really opened up in the the 2/3rd. The draw improved resulting in beautiful woody, grassy notes with hints of chocolate.
Towards the final third I got all of the above with subtle coffee notes with slight peppering.
Apart from the beginning I thourougly enjoyed this cigar. A sumptuous 50 minute smoke with a medium strength.
I would have easily given this 5 stars of not for that troubled beginning.
I will definately be buying more.
