Humidor Ivan's Box

Overall this is one of my favorite cuban cigars, though cubans are to strong for my taste. However, the last one is not burning well, neither is rolled well, hard to smoke - maybe will not finish it, as losing patience. For this price range, better behaviour is expected.

Another good cigar from Alec Bradley. The taste is a bit strong for me, and not exactly my type, but the cigar was burning well and proving quite enjoyable experience - I smoked this one until it started burning my fingers. Outstanding for the price.

Very good cigar, nice body, very good production quality, smooth wrapper, the cigar burning great with some delays on the wrapper, which is typical for maduro cigar, the taste not exactly mine, but this is specifically personal, in any case nothing missing or week in the cigar... it worth its money and is definitely something to try again or on a regular base... overall much appreciated.

Very good cigar, good body and structure, easy to light due to the shape, burning consistently and producing nice smoke with nice aroma, a bit stronger at the end, but very satisfactory.

Interesting cigar, overall I liked it, though expected more based on ratings and reviews. Visually very good, nice oily maduro wrapper, looking very nobly. However, on touch not very strong rolled, even light for such cigar - the filler is probably 10% less than it should be for such caliber and this is making the quality issue - the cigar burns faster inside, while the wrapper remains, and thus it is hard to sense the wrapper taste, which is 50% of the cigar taste and in this cigar actually tastes very nice and balanced, very pleasant. After the 2nd inch (in the 2nd third of the cigar), the burning normalized a bit, probably also the tar on the leaves helped for the consistency, and I was able to enjoy the taste better. And the taste remained good till the end of the 2nd third of the cigar (which is how much I usually smoke from the cigars), so taste wise very good. I think if they had put a bit more filler or used this tobacco for 52-54 ring cigar, it would have been the perfect experience... have few more to try, so if difference, will update the comment, but meanwhile, 6,30 Euro for such caliber and taste is already very good price, despite of the quality glitch. Edit 16.02.2014 - the second one was better, still maybe needs some more tobacco inside, but burning and tasting very good.

4 years ago a friend gave me a bundle of Domaine de Lavalette blue band corona cigars and they were quite decent, I shared some with friends and the cigars were overall well accepted... I took cigarworld.de page from the band and last year started ordering from the site on a regular base - the price of the cigars is same like in Bulgaria, but there is much more choice... in the first order I ordered some Domaine with red label (Nicaragua) and they were quite good, especially the robusto. I wanted to try the 660 from the maduro, since I like maduro wrappers, but it was missing for some time, meanwhile took a free sample of the 460... and the cigar is quite a no-go for me. It looks decent, but when squeezed between fingers, there are gaps, the cigar is overall lightly rolled, not enough tobacco for such a format. I lit the cigar, it was burning inconsistently, more from one side, less from the other, then cracked in the middle from the heat... the ash was falling on flakes... too much smoke, also coming from the front of the cigar, and not the typical white-blue smoke, but milky white and yellow, like chemistry... like the smokes we used to make from nitrate and newspapers to throw at the neighborhood football games. Taste was a bit of cream or chocolate, but hidden behind some bitter and sour front-taste... at 15 min smoking I felt nausea and left the cigar down... for me, this is a cigar I personally cannot smoke...

Very good cigar, strong, but the maduro wrapper gives very nice mild yet smooth full taste... A bit expensive for 50 min smoking, but worths trying for sure.

I am a fan of Macanudo, especially the maduro series - the aroma is great, very reach and complete, without the cigars being strong, which for me is the perfect combination. Good cigar, good ~60 min smoke, the maduro wrapper is not burning too good, but this is normal for maduro, all the rest - smoke, draw, etc. is perfect. However, the price is a bit high due to the glass tube, one that looks very fancy, but is not needed - for example Hyde Park is 1.50 Euro cheaper, yet same format and quality (even a bit bigger ring).

Very good cigar, very well made and nice to smoke, mild pleasant taste and aftertaste... definitely worth its money and definitely will try again.

Very good cigar, strongly recommended to try - the whole gamma of aroma, but nothing too strong, too dominating or unpleasant, and in a very well produced body... the only thing I kind of not like in it is the box pressing, since the cigar stays a bit awkward in the hand.
