Arturo Fuente - Brevas Royale Natural
For the price, hard to beat
The stick itself is decent. Construction/draw was more than solid, it burned evenly at a good rate. It's a balanced cigar but has definite notes of spice, some smooth woodiness, and toasted nuts. It's not a complex development of flavors BUT it is a lot more enjoyable than most at this price. Would never turn one down but I'll stock up on the Maduro for my own collection

Sutliff - Z50 Black Cordial
Aroma is great, smoke is meh
The aroma/room note on this blend is great. The cherry/vanilla blend comes together in a way that emphasizes richness and depth of flavor over artificial strength which is a huge plus, and carries over to the room note The actually smoking of this, though, is a very bland experience. The first "smoking hot air" experience of mine. Will appreciate it if someone else lights a bowl but i probably won't be doing so again myself

Tatuaje - Series P Honduras Short Robusto
Wouldn't turn a free one down
But probably won't buy another. Flavors were woodsy, peppery, light spice, mineraly leather but in a flat, largely uninteresting presentation. Nothing really offensive here but no real "this is nice" moment either. Didn't sense any real evolution from start to finish.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Kendal Gold #18 - Peach
Fine enough
It's "fine" - flavor is inoffensive but not really appealing. Peach is just barely discernable as a flavor, as a room not it's non existent. Have to burn slower than you think but it does stay lit easily.

Davidoff - Primeros Maduro
Smooth, creamy, and just easy to enjoy
Two words come to mind when thinking about this stick - "smooth" and "creamy". Notes of cream, chocolate, coffee, toasted nuts. Nothing incredibly complex per se but everything works together perfectly. It's a short smoke, and not the cheapest stick in the size range, but perfect if you want to just sit down and enjoy 25ish mins of smooth relaxation
