Henri Wintermans Half Corona - Pack of 5 cigars by Brandon

First of all, Im probably a ltitle biased in my review because the Henri winterman half corona was the first cigar I ever smoked, so it has sentimental value to me. The cigar is my daily smoke (primarily due to the fact most corner shops stock them) and its probably the best cigar you can get over the counter. The cigar itself is Dutch and a good size (lasts around the 30 minute mark) making it the ideal choice if you have some spare time. The cigar itself Ive found to be pretty consistent, creamy yet some spicy undertones that become more in depth towards the end of the smoke. The cigar tends to get very hot towards the end (like most cigars) but overall its a cracking, cheap cigar to smoke whenever you get a craving. I recommend this to anyone who has a spare half an hour during the day and wants a little taste of luxery without breaking the bank.

Montecristo Media Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Jack

After a pretty naff day I decided to try a little Monte to chill out, I aged this stick around 2 months too. First off quite a bitter taste almost unpleasant, then settles into a rich creamy leather and quite spicy little stick. Medium strength and would buy again.

American Blends BC Blend (Formerly Black Cherry) Pipe Tobacco (Loose) by Gary

Smoked in both a corn cob legend and a falcon coolway. Wow! The best black cherry Ive tried so far. This tobacco is pungent! Open the bag and the smell of ripe black cherries full the room. Does come quite moist and benefits from being air dried in a container or on paper for an hour but burns well straight from the pack. No tongue bite if not packed too tight or smoked too eagerly. Taste is good,very sweet if you like that not complicated. Room note is superb. Great beginners tobacco. Try it, youll be back for more.

Chinchalero Culebra - 3 Cigars Twist by Jason

I bought a box of these and was impressed with the rustic vibe of them. The tobacco leaf stems binding the 3 cigars together, and the tobacco leaf packaging were a nice touch and right up my street - I dont do posh !! I found them to be a nice tasting smoke, and I admit that I had some reservations as to how the shape of them would affect their burn, however, I neednt have worried though as they all burnt fairly slowly and evenly. I found it interesting when reading about these cigars. Im almost certain that Culebra means Snake in Spanish, and from what I read, these cigars are deliberately made in this fashion because they were given to the tobacco farmers / cigar makers, some of who would sometimes help themselves to the cigars meant for exporting. By giving the workers the twisted Culebras, the bosses etc of the cigar farms could identify anybody who was smoking any cigars that they shouldnt be. All in all, I liked them and would recommend them to anybody and I would also buy them again.
