Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - Box of 20

i will start by saying this is a really nice looking cigar and for the first two thirds and about 30 minutes of smoking I was really enjoying it then bang the outer leaf split and that was that the taste went from mild to bitter and I had to leave it. That said I will probably get some more in case it was just a duff or more likely something I had done wrong as until then I thought I had found that elusive cigar I was looking for ( cheap, nice taste and looks good ) .

I bought this two months ago for 1 pound less than current price (bloody chancellor!) to try a bargain cigar and was pleasantly surprised. Although the draw was very loose, it was an enjoyable medium strength smoke, lasted for a good 45min, kept burning until the end and the burn line only stayed in the final inch. Plus the wife didn't make her usual comment that it "smells like a compost heap"! I've got a maduro version on order and am looking forward to that one - I'll be buying more of these in the future.

Nice little fat stick! Mild to medium strength, not complex in flavour but quite pleasant. Nice easy draw, even burn, holds the ash well. Copious amounts of smoke. At the price it's well worth it, a good humidor filler I reckon.

Great cigar for value, took me about 45 mind to get through.holds the ash very well and gives an even burn through out. Taste was a little underwhelming but still leaves something on your pallet. I can see myself stocking up on these

Not as memorable nor as pleasant compared to the Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro, but decent nevertheless. Dry, woodsy, with little kick. Pair this with a medium-flavored coffee on-the-go for a worthy smoke, though don't expect anything beyond acceptable.
