under £5 for this cigar , is a bargin. smooth and slow burning, taste was more full than mid. it was a joy for the 45 mins that i was smoking it. i like it so much i picked a few more on the way out of the Cambridge shop. the more of this type i buy and enjoy the less i want to pay extra for cubans.......

What an absolute little belter this cigar is. This is another cigar I bought following a recommendation on Facebook, it was regarded as one of the best in the "bang for your buck" stakes, and I wasn't disappointed! Aesthetically this cigar is an appealing tan colour and the example I smoked was almost completely smooth, there were no veins or imperfections in the wrapper at all. The cigar lit very well, burned perfectly straight and held on to the ash to almost exactly the half-way mark. The draw is quite easy, a little "harder" than I've been used to but still by no means an effort to draw on and the more seasoned smoker won't even notice this I'm sure. For me though, it was the flavour and smell produced by this cigar that really won me over. To begin with there's a very noticeable sweetness with a subtle spice note at the end of an exhalation, in the mouth the smoke feels creamy, almost like drinking the foam off a cappuccino (I kid you not!) and there is something of a subtle coffee flavour between the sweetness and the spice. Something which I did experience with this cigar which I haven't before, is that the sweetness seems to stay on your lips, whether this comes from the wrapper of from exhaling the smoke I don't know but it certainly made me want to lick my lips after almost every puff. As the flavour develops in this cigar (in my experience this happened most noticeably about 2/3 of the way through) the spice-notes become much more apparent and while the sweetness doesn't seem to subside, it does get slightly overtaken by the spice. The smell this cigar produces is divine and even my non-smoking family members didn't have any complaints about the aroma it produced. All in all, I feel that this is a truly excellent cigar, one I would heartily recommend and will DEFINATELY be buying again without hesitation.
