Kangaroo495 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Smoking one for breakfast now. Horrible construction, good burn, light draw. Medium body. Nothing special about the taste. Slightly nutty in the first third. Now getting very savoury. Fairly smooth tobacco taste all the way through the stick. Smoking it with an espresso, which is producing a relatively long and delicious aftertaste. I think a few of you guys might appreciate this as an outdoor cigar while you're working. Not something that needs to be concentrated on. 30 min smoke. Very cheap! 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the brand has been discontinued and I bought some quite a long time ago as cheap and cheerfuls which were ok from memory. Reminds me how far quality has come with CCs!

MontrealRon Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hey, Kanga - Was this an old cigar, in a metal tube, or one of the new ones in plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traz Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I remember when I bought a box of these (the machine-made, plastic-tubed variety) that initially they were decent enough, but nothing special. When I tried another one several months later they were significantly better. Construction may not be impressive and the loose draw might put others off...but I enjoyed them all the same. I've only got four or six left out of twenty, so I'll definitely pick up another box. I suppose it's fair to say they are an excellent starting point for beginners that probably wouldn't appreciate complexity anyway. I'm not quite completely there myself, haha. The only seriously negative aspect to me personally is that they are not easy to come by. Many sites no longer stock them, and the ones that do aren't as competitive. A top cheap-and-cheerful in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
