Gold Block Pipe Tobacco 40g Pouch
by Harry
I smoked Gold-block for more than 30 years (when is was available in Holland) and enjoyed it every time....
After its demise, I tried several other tobacco's, but in most cases it was like smoking an old mattress...not my cup of tea...
Thanx to the Lord, that I can by it by Turmeaus....

Bought one of these as part of my holiday cigar order. Been meaning to try one for a while so thought were better than on holiday in Crete overlooking the sea drinking a Metaxa .
First impressions, build looks great spot on construction, cap was a little rough looking but cut perfectly the only thing that lets the look of these down is the slightly budget looking band, but I am not smoking the band so no big deal. Draw was good and flavor was decent for the price. It has some great reviews, some of which are slightly over generous but then it is following last nights Drew Estate Kuba Kuba which is a tough act to follow so maybe I am expecting too much.
I would say at under a tenner this cigar is an awesome achievement a very decent smoke and overall construction was excellent. If I buy more it will be with the view of storing them longer term with something with a kick to see if I can impart an added dimension to the flavor. If this was over a tenner it would have got 4 out of five , as it is I think its a no brainer . Fill the humidor for a cheap pleasant smoke and have a pla

Having tried the smaller atom several months back and adored its madness I decided to purchase one of these as part of my holiday cigar order.
They smell amazing same hippy bong shop smell you get with the atom. The initial sweetness of the cap / wrapper on the lips wasnt as brash as the atom and the whole cigar felt a little more refined and mellow compared to its smaller counterpart. Very enjoyable smoke great construction, draw and burn was perfect. Overall I prefer the Atom for the full force experience and masses of smoke but this definitely has a home in my humidor, it gently imparts its aroma on other less exciting sticks like its trying to encourage them to loosen up and have some fun. Currently my favourite brand.

Fonseca KDT Cadetes Cigar - Box of 25
by Oliver
The most satisfying cigar I have ever had - tantalising complex flavours (earthy, coffee/chocolatety, leathery, gitanes, spicy), moist and creamy, smooth on the throat. Dont need to take out a mortgage to smoke them

first 1/3 was mild, nice and smooth. Spicy kick to the 2/3. 3/3 SPICY BOI! Well built, Only enjoyed more as it progressed. Paired well with my chianti ;) 10/10 will buy again! Smooth finish not at all harsh or stanky. Perfect example of why i enjoy cigars.

I had to get this after reading all the positive reviews, but this cigar is definitely not for me.
The build quality was great and the cigar itself was very attractive. It lit and burned well also. However, the taste was very dry and bitter, and it definitely didnt feel like a light cigar. My living room stank of this not-so-pleasant smell for 3-4 days when normally the smell clears within 48 hours. The draw was far too easy for me, like sucking through a straw.
Im no cigar expert but this is one of my least favourite cigars by far.
