Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - Bundle of 10

A bit to fat for me and nothing exceptional in the flavour department to make it worth buying again. It was Ok but there are so many others with more flavour and easier to handle.

I'm always amazed by non cubans - this is a brand I'd never heard of and wanted to give a go because of the large ring gauge. On lighting up, the cigar smelt really nice - no burnt or charred flavours on the first few puffs. I did take it very slowly though, drawing maybe every minute 1/2 to get things going. As previous reviewers found the first 1/3 to be very bitter, yet I didn't have the same experience. Lots of smoke, felt nice and earthy/full. About second half in, the creamy nuttyness came through - very smooth and delicious, didn't over puff which I think helps alot with cheaper cigars as they tend to be alittle rough imo. Still loads of smoke, very nice to hold in the mouth then slowly let out. The wrapper had a tiny flaw, wich caused small burn issue but mostly burned very evenly and didn't require many touch-ups. Continuing into the last - I love this cigar!! It really was a pretty thing to remove the band and continue smoking - normally I stop just before the band - not with this one. The nutty and smooth flavour is excellent, I could see myself ejoying these on a summer's day with peace and quiet in the back garden. I swear there was a faint chocolate taste too - sweet and very moreish! In closing I stopped smoking the cigar just shy of the nub - imo this has to be a perfectly humified cigar, the flavours and taste were perfect for me. Would definetly buy a box to put away for the summer! They would be an ideal gift too, as they look alot more expensive then £4.19.

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)
