I'm sorry but these were just not to good I could not get a draw out of these and still have 3 left from a 4 pack.

Aladino Connecticut Santi Cigar - Pack of 10
by Nicholas
Cookies, subtle cocoa and a little nutty.
About 30-40mins
Tastes similar to the larger version
No harshness. Note that the conneticut wrapper gives it a slight peppery/drier taste (which I like but may not suit lovers of very smooth cubans)

First time for me with this alsbo blend
It is a nice smoke but I don't really taste anything memorable,other reviews are saying it's smooth and vanilla taste is evident, I find the flavour quite weak however it is a good smoke and I will be using this blend again.

Ive smoked two of these, (one sat in my humidor for three years, and one around a week old) and they are exceptionally good. The maduro wrapper carries the flavour of this complex cigar. Plenty of smoke, even burn, and no construction issues for me. I will be coming back to this stick in the future.

I received this today, merely pausing to say its condition was perfect for smoking. I like to drink brewed coffee with a cigar and, Rombouts medium roast was my brew of choice. If a coffee is too strong, the pronounced flavour, such as espresso, overpowers that of the cigar. Very good combustion, a slow even burn. white ash and something special about the dark wrapper made this a very enjoyable 35 minutes. Its a full strength cigar, but never harsh or any sense of tongue-bite. As a very occasional smoker, I like to experiment a bit. The Black Market Esteli Punk is well worth the money and certainly as flavourful as any decent Habanos. A bit of patience getting off the full wrapper is well worth the reward. If you are sitting on the fence with this one, try it and see.

I was keen to try a Culebra cigar as they are hard to get hold of, especially the Partegas which seems to be permanently out of stock. So, I jumped at the opportunity to try the Alec Bradley when it came up as a ?flash sale?. The cigar is mild to medium, quite sweet I thought with vanilla notes which don?t change throughout the entire smoke. Smoking time is about half an hour. Although the draw was fine, it didn?t burn evenly and was quite hard work requiring two relights.
Not a bad experience but definitely not as enjoyable as I had hoped and would hesitate to buy again.
