This cigar’s flavour isn’t especially complex and the flavours don’t radically develop during the herf, however it starts as it means to go on with white pepper and leather at the forefront continuing right the way down to the knuckle. The construction is always excellent, the appearance is nearly perfect (the tawdry label is a very minor let down), and the overall enjoyment provided by this marque puts it head and shoulders above its closest competitors at this price point, including Quorum, which brand I started my cigar journey with and who I still have think have a place place at the table when looking for value vs cost

I didn’t expect much but was pleasantly surprised by this one. Lit easily, burnt evenly and while not particularly flavoursome the easy, cool draw offered mild tobacco flavours interspersed with pepper, coffee and coconut on the exhale. Quite enjoyable and I would gladly recommend it but I do think the price point is a little on the high side.

Cracking cigar. Lovely and smooth. Slight pepper on the retrohale. Burnt evenly and a good construction. Will be getting more. This inka was way better than the red I had(but I believe the red I had must have been a rogue, because it was really bitter. Yuk). This has restored my faith in the brand.

Brick House Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

If you can get past the first half then it’s just ok, it’s a decent draw and well built on the plus side.

Montecristo Edmundo Cigar - 1 Single
by Simon
A delightful cigar, consistent from the first to the last lamented draw. Cedar, leather and pepper, along with a cool sweetness that is totally wonderful on the palate. When In search of the mythical never ending cigar, you’d want it to be like this, never harsh and always communicating it’s provdence from every easy pull. So much so that despite being an infrequent cigar smoker, today I felt the need to smoke another cigar later in the day. Sadly it wasn’t an Edmundo, but a giant slayer in the guise of a Jose Piedra, whilst not as sublime as the Monte, scratched the itch that it had left me with. I’d give the Edmundo a 4.5, it’s not a No2 but it is an undeniably good smoke and one that should be a go to on a warm summers day when relaxation with no hassle is what is required. Some have said that the burn is a little uneaven, yes maybe slightly, but never did it canoe or become something that dominated the smoke. I know that I often say this, but I’d urge you to try this wonderful cigar should you get the chance.

Like James mentioned these can burn unevenly, flavours for my palate came through in the first third as peppery, slight leather note and bitter chocolate, second third sweet creaminess, also found the final third to be quite hot but left longer between singular puffs could still be enjoyed however started to unevenly burn and gave up just after removing the band.
