I'm sure this has been reviewed a few times. It's a popular entry level cigar.
Price Paid: Around ?7 for 5 (last year)
Number Smoked: 5
Length: 4 1/4"
Ring Gauge: 26
First Third: Opens with a woody farmhouse hay taste. Quite nice, but a bit weak.
Second Third: More of the woody taste, I noticed a sweet taste emerge, maybe cinnamon. Started to get a bit more earthy. Maybe a bit of leather as well.
Last Third: Similar to the second third with some white pepper and nutty woods in the mix.
Construction: Pretty good for machine rolled, certainly far higher than many cigarillo Dutch cigar and smaller Cuban minis. I found myself having to tap the ash off after a while to avoid it falling on my trousers. I didn't get any peeling. The cigars did require the odd touch up, but were generally good.
Smoke Time: Around 10-20 minutes each
Overall: 6/10 A good everyday lunchtime break cigar. Far better flavours than most cigars of its size, but it will have you craving something a bit more satisfying.
