Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - Box of 20

OK,now i have smoked it and time has passed i feel i can review this...First off,the start is very bitter (for me) & harsh. For the first half i couldn't draw properly on it which became so frustrating,i had a lot of issues with it,was not an even burn for the first half as well and had to help it on its way. By the time i got halfway down it became lighter,more enjoyable but by the time i had finished it i felt sick,i had heartburn,my chest felt full,it was awful,i was considering buying another one of these as the second half got me interested but will avoid from now on...first time i have felt sick from any smoke...i bought this because of the reviews but maybe i just got a bad cigar. Rated 2 instead of 1 because of the small amount of joy i got for a few minutes.

Nothing special until half way through,all sorts of flavours came through after that,worth the money for a try but probably wouldn't buy many more

Not too bad for the money, a nutty chewy smoke and at the same time very cool(but it is a large ring cigar)solid effort

Well what can I say... I likes this cigar from the first one I smoked a few months back. Unfortunately your supply ran out before I had time to buy more, lucky for me they are back in stock and just smoked one.. This was the best smoke I've had in a LONG time, the cigar was perfectly humidified and smoked a treat, cool creamy smoke with notes of spice and sweetness... I had a beer along with it and now I feel cool as a cucumber! Simply an amazing FANTASTIC smoke.... - (Facebook)

So Ive had a good experimentation with cigars from different areas. I still wouldn't consider myself a highly experienced smoker but Im no newbie either. This Cigar is constructed very well, Wrapper is nice colour and bonded very well, Burned very evenly and never had to relight the cigar. I smoked this cigar for about 45 mins, Taking very gentle subtle draws. Drawer was very easy and light, When I was taking draws it felt like it was just air I was drawing until I exhaled massive big clouds of Chinchalero smoke :)... I really like bigger gauge cigars and I have to say this one is excellent and just feels perfect in my hands and mouth. The taste of this cigar is quite mild, Nothing stood out massively for me apart from subtle hints of sweetness here and there, Don't let this put you off though, I don't think this cigar is meant to be a head banger flavour explosion and it just perfect the way it is. I cannot say anything negative about the flavour at all. The cigar got a little stronger close to the end, I smoked it down to about 25mm and did not want to put it out. I would highly recommend this cigar, Do not be put off by the price tag, It such a perfect cigar to buy for value, Size, construction and flavour. I will definitely be buying this cigar again and probably in greater quantities :) I would also recommend Cgars secret Inka blend cigars, They fall into the same price range and are also a wonderful beautiful smoke.
