52 ring, 4 inch stubby cigar. Real earthy notes and an understated sweetness to this smooth even smoke. Not overpowering at all and the torpedo makes for a very controlled and enjoyable smoking experience. With a sweet coffee or almond coffee/liqueur this is a winner! Definitely recommended! Score 9/10

50 ring, 5 inch cigar. The smoothest and most mellow of cigars to date! So mellow in fact, I;m not dure you can really distinguish the flavours. Whilst certainly an enjoyable smoke, the real strength of this cigar is the fact it doesn’t leave a harsh aftertaste on the palette. This would be a real’day

42 ring, 5 and one quarter inch. Very smooth smoke with an even burn and smooth draw. A balanced flavour profile throughout and nutty almost cedar and oak flavours dominate. A Light to medium and a very fine smoke for a very reasonable price…..!!! Matched with a sweet coffee this would be an excellent mid

Smoked on the inaugural ‘dry opening’ of CCHQ…. A nice even burn, a smooth smoke and mild to medium in strength. A refined and grown up cigar and its clear to see why the brand has the reputation it does. Possibly not on the right side of sweet for these aficionado’s but nonetheless, no disappointment

42 ring, 5 and one eighth of an inch cigar. Small but full of flavour and really creamy. Around a 30 min smoke combined with a black caramel coffee on an outdoor terrace works wonderfully. Not too strong but the leathery/earthy notes hit well. Recommend this for the short smoke category for sure Score 8/10

Sampled for the first time in Musselbrough with a Costa, this short 10 minute smoke was very pleasant indeed. Not too bitter, quite smooth on the pallet and smelt divine. Despite the setting being reminiscent of Elland high street on a shit day, this is a short that shall remain a fixture of the collection.

Another smooth and gentle vanilla centred cigar. Wasn’t sure what to expect but pleasantly surprised. Good burn from the outset, about a 20-30 min smoke and very aromatic. Would suit an indoor space better than a bleak and cold winters evening but right up there with the favourites!initely suits the sunshine better! Very average smoke.

Less sweet than others but equally as smooth. Definitely a more grown up cigar for the discerning enthusiast. An equal burn, no frank and subtle aftertaste. I think this one definitely suits the sunshine better! Very average smoke. Doubt I’ll repeat the experience smoke. Score 5/10

Initially a stronger than expected smoke which mellows beautifully into an elegant and smooth smoke. Pairs with soft, sweet note coffee and mint of choice. Approx 30-40 minute smoke. Score 8/10
