P.G.C. Hajenius is another Dutch manufacturer, but a bit less common than La Paz. This is unfortunate, because their 'Kleine Tuitknak' cigars were significantly nicer than the similarly sized and priced 'Wildes' from La Paz. The cigars are a primarily Sumatran blend of tobacco with a pinch of Havana and Brazilian, of what appeared to be pure leaf tobacco (no pesty stems). Although machine-rolled, they were well-rolled and tightly packed in a torpedo figurado, measuring about 9cm long and 30 gauge.
The smoke was moderately sweet and had good flavour. There was neither too much nor too little tar and overall they were a pleasant smoke. However, they lacked a that certain something that one only finds in high quality cigar.
The P.G.C. Hajenius 'Kleine Tuitknak' will cost around £15 for ten in the UK, and around €10 for ten in the EU.
I would say this is a fantastic cigar with excellent construction and an extremely smooth smoke. The aroma is typical of an average cigar and not too spectacular.
