Very good condition, perfect structure, beautiful ash ring, no blockage or slant burning, woody aroma, cheese, a little nut and coffee, low intensity for me, comfortable to the nose without pressure. Better than my previous smoke, mainly reflected in the milky feeling and sweetness of the aroma. Light taste

This is more my cup of tea than the Byron 21st! It is less earthy, less bitter and more savioury. This could totally be my daily cigar if the price is more forgiving. But even at this premium, it is well worth every penny!

I have loved everything I’ve tried from Byron and this is no exception. Minimal pepper to this profile making it a good option for those who like habanos. Rich sweetness, graham cracker, raisins, and a little sourdough breadiness. It will vaguely remind of something like a partagas d4. Perfect construction and draw. They aren’t cheap, but you get what you pay for in this case.

I really wanted to like this cigar, what with the brand’s and Nelson Alfonso’s history, the cigar burned evenly all the way through (even the ash was tough to get tapped on the ashtray), but flavor wise I found it lacking a lot, I did sense some hints of dark cocoa and raisins but it might as well have not been there
The price was expected so I’m not gonna comment on that but the cigar did leave a lot to be desired.

Unbelievable cigar. Nelson Alfonso is making the greatest cigars in the world right now, and this is a perfect example. Tons of flavor, nothing abrasive. It’s one of those cigars that I look at after every puff.

Had a chance to try one of these and liked it so much I got one for a good friend – this level of complexity does not exist in most other brands – you get what you pay for. Distinct citrus-sweetness, baked goods (fresh bread), and some cinnamon and nutmeg. Zero pepper, zero harshness, huge body. The price is high, but the flavour is even better.

Really impressed with the Londinises. Don’t see these around very often, so thanks to Oxford for sourcing these. Working my way slowly through the Byron and Atabey lines currently, so being able to buy singles is really helpful!

Great smoke. The Londinese has tasting notes of graham crackers with hints of honey. Towards the end I was getting vanilla. There is almost no bite to the cigar.
