Alec Bradley Orchant Seleccion Skinny - Bundle of 5 in Boveda Humi Bag

Picked one of these up in the St James store today. A really nice smoke for a fantastic price. Lots of black pepper and coffee, always a favourite flavour profile for me. Notes of cinnamon, orange and toffee keeps the interest going over the roughly 40 minutes smoking time. I paired it with a dark Christmas ale which suited it well. I usually go for a bigger ring gage but would really recommend this.

For the only, you cannot go wrong with this smoke. Bought a box for my stag do and there was a mix of cigar smokers and non, all really enjoyed. Perfect mix of flavour and smoothness! Will be reordering.

This was an absolute cracker of a cigar for the price. In fact it was not a cigar it was a love affair. If this is the standard of the Orchant Seleccion I for one will be following the seleccion cigars closely. At just over a tenner you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Beautiful draw, full flavour and slow burning. I will definitely be buying more of these.

Sadly my experience with this cigar was poor to say the least. Build quality was really poor, draw poor and it refused to stay lit at all. Wrapper started unravelling from the foot end whilst lighting. In the end I just gave up and binned it. Absolute waste of time and money. Really disappointed with this one. Worst cigar I have received from CGars as part of the subscription service. On a more positive note the Joya black was fantastic. And to be balanced the majority of cigars I have received are excellent. I suspect this particular one slipped through the quality control net.
