Tbh i just look at this and think to myself... REALLY ??? I mean ive been to cuba (from the uk) and i went on a 3 day trip to havana, and when we visited the cigar factory the tobacoo is stored in these weaven type of bags , and then its just rolled on a table , to say that it has 'citrus , mandarin , coffee , leather' aromas i just think is all in yor head ..no doubt its smooth and mild and a nice drag , but this isnt a whisky that has been matured with those aromas , its tobaco str8 frm a farm

@TheRedline161 Three days in Cuba and you are an expert on Cuban tobacco characteristics and flavours? Not sure why we have been wasting our time with these reviews when all we needed to do was look at a woven hessian bag full of tobacco and we would know everything about Cuban cigars!

@FriendsofHabanos Yea good response but , there was a suttle question in my comment.... Basically i dont see how these flavours can possibly come to a cigar , tobaco picked > bagged > factory>rolled , tbh i think your being a little to quick to try and make someone looks stupid when tbh i mearly asking , how you come by these flavours ... ?

@TheRedline161 Just like wine has a different flavour from different regions, cigars are the same. Depending on the region the tobacco is grown and the amount of each of the different leafs are used in each of the blends creates different flavours.

@TheRedline161 You ought to try some and see. You won't notice those tastes at first but eventually you get more sensitive to the subtleties. Also if you are a regular cigarette smoker you'll likely never notice any flavor from a cigar..

@Muschi33 Do they come with a nice glass top box?

[Muschi33]

@CaptainQuintero

You can get a box of 25, anywhere in the USA for $400 (renowned cigar sellers), that equals $16 per cigar, that doesn't seen too expensive no?! Even churchills you'll get for within the $28 rage..

In Cuba they cost way less, that's just a fact!

[CaptainQuintero]

@Muschi33 You're buying fakes, sorry.

[Muschi33]

@CaptainQuintero I don't know where you buy your cigars but you are obviously bing ripped off and proud of it...LOL

I you buy Cohibas or Monte Cristo in Cuba or Jamaica they are not ridiculously expensive at all.

@TheRedline161 These guys know whaty they are talking about, don't worry. I have only been smoking Havana cigars regularly for the past 9 years, though I had the great luck to work with a specialist cigar merchant during that time. As they have said in relation to wine, Cuban cigar tobacco draws identifyable flavour characteristics from the soil, sun and altitudes it's grown in, as well as the individual Houses fermentation and curing techniques. These guys have a great blind tasting video also.

@MegaBigsexy45 it cost you $15. If it was real you'd be paying triple that, and if your Dad's friend was a real cigar smoker he would have gifted you them for free as a fellow brother of the leaf.
