Can't wait to try this

First Third: Toasting gave off a light, earthy aroma with heavy smoke right away on a smooth draw. It smells almost like a Plasenciabut tastes way lighter with that classic tangy Cuban soil profile. Smooth smoke with no harshness and just a hint of pepper at the end of every draw. Very light toasted tobacco taste.

Middle Third: Picks up a creamier texture and a stronger earthy flavor, though it stays light and smooth. The cool smoke probably from ash build up keeps the pepper barely noticeable. A woody and leathery profile takes over with almost no sweetness, with that leather note developing more towards the middle.

Final Third: Moves into a more cedar/woody type of taste that loses what little sweetness was left. The aftertaste brings back a bit more pepper and a tangy, roasted earthiness. Ends on a more robust, harder wood flavor with a really nice mineral saltiness right to the finish.

Overall a great cigar

Been getting into this smaller format as a daily. Can't wait to try them!

Surprisingly smooth and tasty. Great short smoke

First Third: Heavy, concentrated smoke on the initial light with a bit of pepper upfront—though that backed off quickly, so it might've just been how I lit it. Settled into a smooth smoke with a woody and hay type of taste. As it burnt down, the woodiness picked up into a really nice, dry cedar.

Second Third: Incredibly smooth with no real pepper left. Picks up a hint of spice alongside a dark espresso, earthy flavor and less like raw dirt and more of a light-roasted, dark chocolate vibe. The cedar mellows out and turns a bit sweeter here.

Final Third: Flavors developed really well into a complex, creamy wood and sweet cedar combo, dropping that hay note from the first third. Still getting that roasted coffee bean flavor with just a hint of bitterness on the aftertaste. No earthiness left, just a great smoke right down to the nub.

One of my favourites I've tried so far.

First Third: Really smooth opening drawing well right away. Soft cream and nuttiness upfront, with just a hint of light leather in the background.

Second Third: The flavor picks up with a nice woody/earthy aftertaste. Smoke turns rich and milky, while the leather shifts toward a light roasted, earthy finish.

Final Third: Concentrated, fuller smoke that stays cool without any harshness or pepper. Stronger earth and leather come through, but still not overbearing thanks to the consistent sweet cedar taste throughout.

Genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this and have the late hour version ready to light up next.

Celebrating my first month of smoking cigars with a new purchase. Can't wait to try them all!

Hoyo De Monterrey Petit Robusto

My first Cuban absolutely amazing. Very smooth throughout and tasted great too.

Thought I didn't like woody tastes however the cedar taste in this was amazin. The middle third was the best mineral salt taste and creamy smoke throughout and got nutty towards the end and a hint of spice as it got hot.

Only thing I would say is cap end was plugged and a draw enhancer would have been good.

Can't wait to try more cubans.

Finally tried this Kristoff Sumatra I bought while doing a BBQ. Before lighting the smell of cinnamon was so appealing after lighting so was the taste. The wrapper was a bit cracked possibly due to being a Tubos and slightly dried out but the cigar smoked perfectly.

Davidoff Escurio Petit Robusto

First Third: Starts off strong with a big hit of pepper, but there's a subtle sweetness right behind it. The smoke is heavy and thick right from the first puff. It toasts up quick and brings in some nice spicy notes, totally dropping the woody flavors right away (which I actually preferred).

Middle Third: This is where it gets really, really good. The smoke gets even thicker, giving you a smooth, almost milky mouthfeel. You get a rich, spicy chocolate flavor coming through, but it’s not overpowering. There’s still a bit of pepper on the tongue, but it mellows out compared to the start, turning into a deeper, subtle sweet profile.

Final Third: The finish is interesting. You get a hint of mineral like saltiness on your lips during and after the draw, which is tasty. Even as the cigar gets hot near the end, the spice drops off, leaving just a tiny hint of pepper. Because the smoke is so full and rich at this point, it tastes a lot like a dark chili chocolate.

Smoked one of these the other night to see if they would make a decent cheap daily but not really my thing.

First Third: Started a bit grassy for the first few draws, but once it warmed up, the smoke got thick and heavy. Lots of pepper and spice right out of the gate.

Second Third: The spice settled down at times and it got pleasantly sweet. When it wasn't burning too hot or too cold, I got nice hints of chocolate and espresso, with only a rare hint of grassiness but still lots of pepper

Final Third: Got pretty harsh and hot at the end. It's a strong cigar, and the finish really shows it. Lost the sweetness stayed on the spicy pepper side.

Picked up a few more -

Holborn Series Maduro

Plasencia Alma Del Fuego

Buenaventura BV Mini Maduro

Had a friend pick these up from duty free in Italy can't wait to try them

Had my second cigar last night. Got a 4 pack of Zino robusto from duty free in Zurich.

Honestly thought I would prefer the taste of these more than I did.

First third was a very light airy smoke with a strong hay and cedar type taste

Second third got warmer and more woody

Final third was where the taste became much better and enjoyable with a much thicker smoke and leather taste coming into play but still woody grassy throughout.

Overall was a well constructed cigar smoked evenly all the way through and was easy to finish Only took around 55 minutes going slow.

One thing I would say is it is quite plain and the taste does not develop as much as I noticed with the Plasencia Alma Del Campo I had the other night.

Wondering whether I should smoke a Kristoff Sumatra or another zino next🤔

Decided to smoke this Plasencia Alma Del Campo Tribu as my first cigar last night couldn't wait for my birthday.

Was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. Nice cool smoke with creamy notes. Nice round even burn all the way through as well. The final third however was a bit stronger tasting and harsh towards the end but overall decent cigar. Took quite a while to smoke though, around 70 minutes or so. Paired with Dr Pepper was perfect.

Grabbed some cigars to smoke for the first time for my upcoming birthday in a few weeks. Went based off some stuff I saw on Reddit and ones that seemed appealing to me.

Montecristo Petit Edmundo

Kristoff Sumatra Tubo

Plasencia Alma Del Campo Tribu

CAO Amazon Basin Toro

Any recommendations on which to smoke first?

(And which to buy next lol)
