Deano...Can I ask...I don't have a massive budget...can you recommend some reasonably priced smokes. I just bought a bunch from the cgard.lt budget section online. Will give those a go...but want a few for crimbo...not breaking the bank...but 10 to 15 quid each.

I'll be in Italy for xmas so will be picking some up over there too.

These are all good smokes you can get for under ?15 that I think would make a great smoke at Christmas:

Bolivar Belicosos Finos
Bolivar Royal Corona
Montecristo No 1 (or if you're able to go a few pound further I recommend the No 2 more)
Partagas Serie D4
Ramon Allones Specially Selected

A really good smoke, was a bit slow starting off but you were right in saying it got better and better as it progressed, will definitely be re-visiting it!

the coronas major burned beautifully. not just razor sharp burn but amazing ash Just wish it tasted better young

Smoked a Cuaba Tradicionales on my drive home Saturday, tight draw (ran a cocktail stick through it in an attempt to open it up), very one dimensional smoke, was pleasent when retrohaled but you can't smoke a whole cigar like that, I wouldn't buy these again but you do have to try these things don't you!

I had a RG Slenderella '01, whilst pike fishing on Loch Oich, North of Inverness. Weather surprisingly good, cold but no wind, snow or ice. Cigar was grand, good draw & even in the cold the flav came through nicely. Had it with an Earl Grey tea & a coffee as the woman in the shop wouldn't serve me alcohol at that time of the morning. I couldn't believe I got turned down for an alcohol sale in Scotland. Must have been my southern accent!

Sounds like a great day Simon Despite the scufflle with the local lassie

Howd you like the slendy?

I prefer these indoors if possible but as long as there is no real breeze they work ok outside. It's quite a robust flav for a skinny, although not as much as the Punch Nifa of course. I do note nice gingerbread flavs & as the draw was fine, it was perfect for the day. Of course it would have been nice to catch something & then I could have really celibrated. I have a Monte No3 '98 with me but as I didn't catch guess I'll wait intil Fri & smoke it to celebraite passing & renewing my Offshore Medic's Licence. The reason that this will enable me to keep my job is enough to celibrate me thinks. Just noted on Sunday, a local cafe had a bottle of Bollenger under the counter, fancied a glass of that on Fri but as that was the one bottle they didn't sell by the glass, I skip that as ?110 on my own is a little too OTT
