Not the best cigar ever, a little flat and mono for me.

After a busy busy year which i must say has been a cracker, things went right and over all i cant remember much which went wrong. So i had to end the year on a high. Vintage port from 1983 (same age as me), 2008 Partagas Lucitainia and good company.   Big thanks again to [...]

Wow i love this cigar, at point it tasted very rich and strong. Nothing too strong for a novice smoker and not too flat for an experienced smoker. A roller coaster of flavour, i think these cigars are going to be released in the UK soon. Depending on the price, these could become a great seller.

I am not a fan of Romeos, i wanted to enjoy this cigar. I think i was hoping for much more, the burn wasn’t all in the construction. I never let it go out, but while talking it did get close. I did enjoy some of the biscuity flavours & aromatic edge. I like the size, still find anything over a 50 to big for my mouth. If you are a fan of the Romeos, the you will enjoy the Wide Churchill. There is much more flavour, compared to the smaller Coronas (1,2&3).

Well i only found out about this cigar a week ago, the launch was a month ago. But any ways, i know and have them. From what i was told stocks are very limited, so i dont see these being around long. La Flor de Cano isn’t a brand we get in the UK, its [...]

I enjoyed the spitfire when i first tried them, so i was a looking forward to trying these.  4 small Belicosos, cellophane wrapped inside an attractive tin.  The cigar is made up from a unique combination of Cuban seed. 5 Filler leafs Jalapa Especial Seco, Piloto Seco, San Vicente Ligero, Criollo Seco. Pelo de Oro (Dominican) binder [...]

Well it feels like its been a while since a reviewed a Cuban. In fact im shocked i havn’t done a review of the Choix Supreme yet. I do have to say im a fan, so this may be alittle bias. While i was in Holland i picked up some teas from Geels & Co. [...]

Thursday saw the last day of our break and the only chance to go out and see more of Amsterdam. Before we set off i gave the De Vrijbugh Cigarillos a go, review below. I originally had wanted to visit the Hajenius store, but we didnt have time to find. Me and Kim had nipped [...]
