Having read the tasting notes on these with promises of coffee, dark chocolate, nuttiness and wood this seemed to be right up my street.
Upon opening these were square shaped, machine rolled cigars. A lovely dark wrapper but a bit light on the pre light nose, no particular scent other than just a bit of tobacco, but this wasn't strong.
The burn was even and the ash held together well throughout the first third: however I can't comment on the final two thirds as I didn't get that far. This tasted harsh. Sadly I got a bit of earthiness but it was simply harsh tobacco. None of the promised flavours came through and I could feel it affecting my throat after the first third I decided not to persevere. OK, I'm aware that this wasn't ever going to compare to a high priced hand rolled cigar, and if I'm being honest I didn't believe that I would get all of the tastes promised. However I did expect it to be palatable and smokeable, but it wasn't.
This was a shame as I wanted to like these, but I simply had no desire to carry on or even try another. I gave the remaining 4 away so there will not be any follow up thoughts or another review.
