I couldn’t be happier with my mild cigar sampler. I’m in the UK and received my cigar delivery within a week and had no problems. I will definitely be ordering again next month. First class service from Absolute Cigars. My cigars arrived in perfect condition along with a little Boveda pack to ensure humidity remained ideal.
A HUGE thank you Absolute Cigars.
Fuente Don Carlos Robusto. I am a Fuente fan so I’ll say that from the start. The first 3rd is delicious. Even burn. Mild on the tongue. Perfume is characteristic but not overpowering. Woody, chocolaty and earthy all at the same time. The burn is approximately 15min per 3rd, obviously dependant on the draw. As a mild cigar lover, this fit in well on the profile. Ash stuck fat during the smoke. Complemented a Bordeaux cognac perfectly. Middle third intensified but still balanced. Ash held on. I am impressed. Never had one before. It will be my go-to choice. In Australia the tobacco excise is about $1900 AUD per kilogram (2.2lb). So cigars sell at a premium locally. Specials and sales are sometimes worth it even if excise has to be paid. I’m signing off now to enjoy the last half. Great smoke.
Decided to try this company, ordered a box of the Nub 466 Gordos. Cigars were packed for freshness, secure box, was impressed. Enjoyed the first of 24 tonight. These are a very good cigar for those who like a large ring gauge and shorter length. Really liked the tracking option they offer as well, as I am in Canada.
Flor de Oliva natural Robusto has received 5 stars from me, because it arrived from A.C. in pristine condition, no cracks, all the way to Saskatchewan Canada and after a rest of 4 days or so in my humidor, i decided to have one to test while the others continue to rest for another 2 weeks. On draw test, it was good airflow not tough, and a sweet taste was noticed. After light up, i can taste sweetness and a slight leathery note. This continues into the 2nd third, then chances from sweet taste to a more peppery leather note but not strong, mostly the medium mild strength. Throughout, it has has a perfect burn, round ring and inch and a half ash before falling even in this wind on my deck. Final third comes for me a woody note, with pepper and spice, and a slight increase to strength as i finish it to a nub.
I look forward to the rest and how they differ once rested longer.

Love the terrific aroma and taste of this blend. The Cru Royale is my go-to Macanudo cigar.
