This is my first review, hope it's OK, greetings guys and girls. I'm an enthusiastic amateur, not a pro and I'm still learning taste profiles. I've been smoking cigars for about 5 years now.
Price Paid: ?4.95 each (I think)
Number smoked: 4 (1 was bad and required constant relights after a few puffs)
Length: 4 1/8"
Ring Gauge: 43
First Third: Petrol, metallic butane taste (I've heard this compared to ammonia). Not pleasant.
Second Third: Hay and straw and earth - the metallic taste wore off.
Last Third: This is where it got tasty. Roasted coffee, ground (subtle) cocoa powder, woody pencil shavings, pepper and old-tobacco style sweet spice.
Construction: was pretty good holding its ash, but there were some tears near this base of the cigar which could be due to how it was stored in the shop. These are hand-rolled with short filler.
Smoke Time: Around 30-45 minutes each.
Overall: Naturally if it had been double the price I wouldn't be impressed. In terms of price to quality I think it is a winner, not Cuba's finest, but the last third made up for what was a bad first. 7/10.
