AVO Classic Uvezian Puritos - 1 Single
by Joseph
A pleasant smoke that lasted over 10 minutes, excellent for the price.

A very nice little smoke at the price. Sweet, easy draw. Nothing to dislike here.

A great smoke; easily matches some Cubans at twice the price. Get ready for a cloud of smoke, they burn well. Stronger than its Honduran cousin. Smooth, rich flavours. Should age well, if only I could save them.

Cohiba Siglo II Cigar - 1 Single
by Judah
I’m down to the last 1.5 inched of my first siglo II. It is an amazing smoke! Light and creamy from the start, it has lovely cedar notes to begin with, with just a hint of honey and vanilla in the second third. A little pepper coming through in the final third makes for a nice finish. The construction was impeccable. A smooth, oily surface without a flaw. It had a slightly spicy smell. I cut it easily with my cutter and was pleased to discover that it had a good draw, not too tight and not too loose. It lit easily with a match and immediately gave off plenty of nice thick smoke. So far, it has burned perfectly and the draw has been perfect (for me). A sweet, spicy aroma hanging in my living room from the smoke only adds to the overall enjoyment.
Move over Punch coronations, this is my new favourite mareva!
I’m burning my fingers now and I don’t want to put it out! I’m so glad I have more! This was the first Cohiba that I’ve smoked which really lived up to the hype/price tag! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

This is my first rope tobacco as I’m a relative new comer to the world of pipe smoking having moved over from cigars. I am a bit of a puffer with a pipe which can cause problems with aromatics and certain types which get quite hot. This however I found a cool and satisfying smoke. I order a sample first as I wasn’t sure if it would be my cup of tea. On opening the pouch I was greeted with a a dark rope which almost resembled a large cigar in its thickness but squashed and more compressed. It has a smokey smell and also a slight vinegar smell (not unpleasant). I cut off a few slices which fell apart on the cutting board. I decided to break them apart by hand and then chopped the pipe into smaller pieces and began to pack my pipe. Once filled I realised I had packed it too tight for a sufficient draw and repacked again ensuring I had an easy draw through the pipe. I repacked about 3/4 of my original packing when reloading the pipe and lit it up. It took a bit longer than loose tobacco to light but when going it only required a few re-lights through the whole bowl. It is a smokey flavou
