Cuban All Stars Sampler Pack - 10 cigars

Product Review (submitted on December 17, 2014):

My first experience with CT was a pleasant one. Tested the waters with the Cuban Sampler 10 pack. I was pleasantly surprised that it arrived in a non-nondescript box in 6 days! After a a nice lunch of Italian antipasto I busted open the box and cut open the plastic vacuum pack and was hit with a plethora of fine Cuban aromas. I only had about 30 minutes before I had to get back to work so I gingerly picked up the smallest stick of the bunch, an H. Upmann Half Corona. I wasn't expecting much from such a puny cigar, but I couldn't have been more mistaken. This little beauty packs a big punch in such a small package. The first half dozen pulls were a bit bitter but that soon gave way to a pleasing array of flavors. Ten minutes and half way thru this little cigar really begin to impress. I was certain this would be a one dimensional smoke but I was hit with an array of flavors: woody, nutty, and a hint of coffee. The last third was absolutely unexpected. Also, this stick burned near perfect all the way thru. I smoked this down until I burnt my fingers and lips! I was actually considering looking for a set of tweezers to suck out the last bit of heaven! But alas, work called and I had to abandon the tiny nub. I am looking forward to the Monte #2 and #4, and Bolivar. Thank you CT! You'll be hearing more from me! I'll keep you posted...
