Now im unsure on this! Is it a pipe/shag tobacco or a rolling tobacco?? Im guessing, that at £4 for 25g its a shag. So dont go putting it in rizla my friends, or your local stockist will get anally raped by Customs! After a few gaps had appeared on our gantry i opted to [...]

I have smoked a SD before, a good 4-5 years ago. I remember them being smooth and creamy with a slight sweet edge. So after a day of trying to pick something out either new or something i havn’t smoked before. After repeatedly standing in the humidor, looking at the stock. I grabbed a Tubulares [...]

Now each week i make a different rolling tobacco blend for my self. I normally go on a whim each time. Last Saturday i made a strong blend without any Perique or Latakia. I wanted something with a cool smoke and good amount of body to it. Blend 25g Cross Roads Original (Virginia, Burley & [...]

Sunday was supposed to be a great day. Hot, BBQ and watching England erm…hammer Germany again. All topped off with a cigar to finish the day off afterwards. It all was all going to plan…..The sun was shining, my BBQ was loaded up ready for a loose flying match, i had been smoking Rattrays Bagpipers [...]

Now i got this baccy in on a whim, with a name like BAGPIPERS DREAM, how could i not. When it came in i opened the tin and oh boy did it smell good. A rich plum aroma, on a blend of golden broken flake and black Cavendish. This tobacco is one of the best [...]

Now i know a 4 1/2″ x 50 is a Robusto, but this isnt a 50 gauge. It maybe was one day before it was box pressed, under the same pressures found in the heart of a black hole. I can remember before i saw them, i printed a label for the shop and stated [...]

Im sure i have smoked a Cuaba Before. I have an old couple of Salamones in the Humidor at home but there being saved a special day. After planning to smoke a Robusto sized VegasFino on the way home last night, i had a last minute change of heart and dived in for a Cuaba. [...]

I have been meaning to try one of these for a while. The thought a lighter Monte always seemed odd. The thought of Montes brings my early experiences with them, brings up those spicy and peppery flavours. I have had the odd few montes here and there but ive never really taken to them. So after a [...]

Its all been De Olifant in the last couple of days, well in my head at least. Today i was given one of the coronas along with a Dominican Romeo y Julieta Maduro. Now i have been wanting to try some of the non Cuban, Cuban brands for a while. It had made its way [...]

Time for a quick smoke, after reading the Dutch thread over on the UKCigarForums i almost went for another De Olifant. Almost but then headed for a Rocky Patel Junior. I have had one of these before and enjoyed it thoughorly, so i was a little excited about it. The dark Ecuadorian wrapper is oily [...]
