| H. Upmann Magnum 50 cigars - Cab 10s by Jamie |

Bought a 3 pack of these H.Upmann Cigars - Now I smoke nothing else!!
The light flavours and textures definetly suit my personal tastes, great construction and an even burn with matches makes these baby's easy to smoke and enjoy!
I've tried Churchills, Cohiba's and Punch cigars but as of a few weeks past I decided to make these my only purchase from now on - just the ideal length and ring size, a manly looking cigar but one that won't pete you out like a super Habano.
Weather your new to cigars or just want something different, lighter in texture than a hard smoke maybe? - these H.Up mann's are a real treat.
Can't wait to order more in the future, this box of 10 are on the top of my wish list.

| Cohiba Behike BHK 52 - 1s by Thomas |

A cigar that every aficionado, and at least everyone who enjoys cigars should try and judge for themselves. Okay, the presentation is perfection in a cigar, setting the bar for construction and size. The draw was easy and the aroma spicy and tobacco-listic (if that is a word!)!
Initially there was a hint of nuttiness and light peppers, and exceptionally smooth. It tasted, for me, surprisingly light in strength and medium in body, having the same blandness as a Robusto T with hardly any bitterness, with smoke enough to satisfy your average cigar smoke lover, not too much to overwhelm a room.
The middle portion brought out a roasted, toasty caramel flavour, hints of cedar, and peppers increasing slightly, while maintaining that super smooth kick. However towards the final 1/3 the flavours did intensify becoming more medium to full bodied (for me at least!), bringing out hints of fruitiness, nutty almonds, sweetness, and a thicker smoke. Yet the stick did leave my mouth rather dry and salty.
As for the ash, it did start off smooth with some flakiness, but toward the middle and end portion of the stick becoming increasingly flaky and powdery. Hallmarks of a well aged blend? It did last for 1 1/2 inches before falling, with a mixture of dark grey ash coupled with stripes of black. A little toothy, levelling off halfway through.
I did smoke this cigar on an empty stomach, with freshly brewed coffee! A fine cigar, yet not sure whether the price is right. Be that as it may, I am by no uncertain terms an expert in taste, and still see myself as a novice when it comes to appreciating a ultra premium cigars. I am afraid that you are just going to have to try it out yourself and see what the fuss is all about!

| Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios - Box 10s by Mr Moreton |

The Cohiba Maduro 5 is the cigar that re-introduced back to Cohiba. Too many Cohibas for me are sharp and dry in taste and perhaps not up to the standard they should be. My first Maduro 5 experience was in the smaller size and was a cracking smoke... Normally I prefer a larger ring guage and so purchased a box of the Genios. They did not let me down as they had all the qualities I enjoyed in the smaller size. They have a lovely subtle sweetness to them accompanied by a very moreish saline (salty) taste to them. Its a very smooth smoke but one none the less that should be enjoyed late evening rather then a 'day' cigar. These are on the strong side of medium in flavour. A very worthwhile place to start if you are unfamiliar with the dark maduro wrappers. Enjoy!

| Beginners Starter Humidor - Cuban Selection by Alan |

A great way of introducing yourself into the cigar world.
The humidor is of very good quality and is a really beautiful thing to have. The selection of cigars is varied and well rounded, helping to make your first tottering steps into the wonderful landscape of Cuban cigars fun and interesting.
The only niggle I found was with the analogue hygrometer. They are notoriously difficult and temperamental and mine lived up to the bad rep they carry. Within days, I'd got a digital model and it's simplicity itself.
My advice is save yourself a tenner and upgrade to the digital hygrometer on offer.
All in all, very happy with this.
CGars have pulled a blinder with this starter humidor.

| Guantanamera Cristales cigars - 1s by Paul |

Had a couple of these whilst on holiday in Cuba and decided to bring a few back as presents for non-cigar smokers as they cost around £2 each there. The tobacco is not the best but it is at least 100% Cuban, machine rolled so quite loose and inconsistent but relatively even burning if a little quick and stored in unsealed cheap plastic tubes and often not in humidores so often a little dried out. It's a good cheap souvenir cigar for the tourists who otherwise wouldn't bother. If a fiver is your budget then you are better off with a smaller but better quality cigar.

| Romeo y Julieta Churchills Tubed cigars - 1s by Jamie |

Highly enjoyable cigar, lots of flavour and intensity nearing the end - however I think the taste was somewhat uneven, nearing bitter from the beginning to middle. It almost felt like work, hurrying up till the very end where all the sweet spots and delicate vanilla flavour comes through.
I didn't smoke all the way, gave up nearing the end - wouldn't buy this length again as it's just too long for my taste.
This and the bitterness at the start, possibly because I hadn't aged the cigar too long, would put me off buying another right away, but I'd definetly try one again when it's more mature and ready for smoking.
The P+P with CGarsltd, as always is fantastic - high quality packing and first class service!
