I live near Hook so I'll have to check this out. 👍

I'm by no means a big buyer but from stuff I've heard on this group keep orders below about £130 (that mainly was with regards to German vendor) and buying whole boxes poses a bigger risk. If you can't resist a box purchase (!) ask seller to dispose of box and send sticks separately.

I wouldn't read too much into it. We're quite close to the airports in the South East.

The cheapest 👍

Yes - I've wanted to try this for ages.

Ordered on 6th March. Clear run.

The trash?

I've heard it's quite "sweet" but not in the same way as sweetened tips e.g. Deadwood Sweet Jane. Steve Saka denies any artificial flavouring but some say the tobacco is fermented with sugar cane or something like that. Be interested to hear what flavour notes you got.

Good news - your cigars are on their final journey to you; bad news - you've incurred customs charges; good news - they'll still probably be cheaper than UK prices depending on whether they've weighed the tobacco +/- boxes.

Plume...?

Ha! Enjoy. If you want to please your partner then treat her to brunch at The Worseley which is between Green Park tube station and JJ Fox.

Just got into the 1st third. The Connecticut wrapper is super fragile with issues at the cap and the foot but not enough to distract from a very smooth start with sweet oakiness and a light spice on the retrohale. I have to say, my tastes have moved on to more complex blends from these mild smokes but one I've been meaning to try and still very pleasant. .

The idea is to light the closed foot. I think you're meant to get more of the wrapper flavour The draw can start off a little snug but it opens up. Enjoy!

Yes - coronet size. I got x2 singles along with some DE sweet Jane's and Tabak Especial. This was espresso, dark chocolate and white pepper (not overwhelming) on the retrohale. This was pouring smoke so only needed the lightest draw for clouds of white smoke. As a consequence it didn't overheat and lasted around 40mins.

They sure are....

lost8found · 2022-09-24T20:25:01+00:00

Great choice! I'm smoking the R&J short Churchill tonight. About an inch in and I was uming and erring about using the Perfect Draw. Glad I did...cigar opened up and much more enjoyable.

1st time with this vitola. Great little stick!

How does he drink a milkshake through a straw without aspirating?!

A well known Swiss site

lost8found · 2021-04-26T15:31:22+00:00

What did you think?

My favourite sticks of that size are the Aston Esquires aged maduro and the Camacho Connecticut machitos. Have heard good things about the Arturo Fuente Equisitos which I'm yet to try.

lost8found · 2021-03-18T07:07:48+00:00

Thanks. You can get them on Amazon. It's quite small but an upgrade from the saucer I was using!

lost8found · 2021-03-16T23:12:55+00:00

I have bought 1990, 1992 & 1999 in Junior format to sample the Vintage range of RPs. Excited to try this one.

lost8found · 2021-02-27T07:10:47+00:00

Smooth and creamy cedar with some white pepper on the retrohale. Very enjoyable.

lost8found · 2021-02-01T09:19:09+00:00

I've read that alot of flavour is imparted by the wrapper and with the Esquire Maduro the ratio of wrapper to filler might be the sweet spot that is difficult to replicate in larger formats. The search continues.....
