Have now tried both the Petit Corona and the Robusto from La Invicta and they have both been very enjoyable smokes. Do they stand up in a direct comparison to some of the more popular Habanos cigars? No, but when you compare the cost of these cigars (especially when bought in bundles) you will appreciate the tremendous value for money. Ive only been smoking for around a year but my personal experience with Cuban cigars has been hit and miss when it comes to quality control and consistency, I dont feel like Im getting my monies worth from a £13-20+ Cuban cigar every time. My experience with La Invicta cigars has been consistent and I think thats incredibly important with a luxury product like cigars. Just bought a bundle of 25 which should keep my humidor stocked for a few months at least.
Solid woody/earthy flavours from start to finish with some nuttiness and spice from time to time, as other reviews noted this cigar goes really well with a nice cup of coffee.

Some people may find this cigar overly sweet, i however am not one of those people. I am yet to find a Leon Jimenes Petit Corona that i dont enjoy with a coffee. A great quick smoke that is very mild with a punch of sweetness from the wrapper. For the price, you cant go wrong!

Montecristo No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Chris
I purchased a single Monte 2 back in August 2018 and finally got around to smoking it.The flavours were phenomenal; smooth and creamy to begin with, gradually developing into a combination of almond, cedar and spice, the smoke leaving a oily finish on the lips and palette. Unfortunately the construction was definitely not up to scratch; The draw was so loose it felt like I was sucking through an empty straw, I had to double-puff regularly to get decent smoke output and it went out 3-4 times in the space of an hour if I put it down for more than just 30 seconds. In the final third the cigar finally started smoking like a chimney and the flavours really kicked it up a notch but the strength kicked up too and since Im a bit of a lightweight I had to lay the cigar down... before having a little lie down myself!
Despite all the problems I had with the Monte 2 it was still by far the most enjoyable and best tasting cigar I have had to date. On my budget the Monte 2 is by no means an everyday smoke and buying a 10/25 is unlikely, but setting aside a pack of 3 for special occasions is def

A nice surprise and very palatable Tobacco from Mr Liam, plus If you like a few options when out fishing or walking then a pouch of soft leather with rubber lining or two is very useful to boot. A great deal.

A quick little smoke. Tried at the same time as the flame blend for a comparison. These have a much easier draw and a generic tobacco flavour. Lasts about 5 minutes each. Prefer the flame blend
