Well cohiba club arrived today, just smoked it this evening. I can't compare it to montecristo or R&J yet,as awaiting for message to confirm stock arrived,however with some excitement I got my deck chair out in the garage,door ajar and lit it.
The cigarillo started with a brief sparkle like a sparkler. Very impressed with amout of smoke.My first retro hale,certainly confirmed there was a scotch bonnet chilli in this stick.It was difficult to nail down any particular flavour,with out the pepper sizzle I would say it's a close to medium. Determined to enjoy this ,my first taste of cuban,I tried no more retro hales for a bit ,approaching half way I found it a bit earthy,but mellowed nicely. The last half a cedery taste hung on my lips,peppery taste had calmed down. I was starting to enjoy it,had a slight unravelling, but it held.The last inch and a half were really nice,then the fingertips were heating up.
So would I buy again,well at £3.50 a time for 10 mins,I dont know, Would like to try it in a half corona,but probably a luxury I can't justify.
Not a bad cigarillo,but you have to get to half way to enjoy the taste..
