Mitchellero Novellini Cigar - 1 Single

I’ve had two orders of these. In the first order they arrived in cellophane and were a really nice 45 minutes smoke. Had one after lunch on Christmas Day, smooth , creamy perfect burn , held ash well and was a complete pleasure. Second delivery of 5 more arrived this week along with a couple of others. Was a bit surprised to find them unwrapped not in cellophane. On further examination they felt a bit dry, decided to give one a try and my fears were confirmed when I cut it.Definitely on the dry side, decided to persevere and toasted and lit. What a difference, somewhat harsh albeit a decent draw. In fairness it improved but had wrapper issue with splitting in the second half, also a somewhat uneven burn. So the other 4 are in my humidor and I shall leave them to see how they improve. At this price they are great value however I would suggest they need some time in humidor if they arrive “loose”. The cellophane wrapped ones were a lovely, bit of a disappointment but I’m not going to mark down too hard and will see how they are in a month or two. The problem now is I would look to re order in the future but that decision would be based on cigars arriving in cellophane and sufficiently hydrated. Not sure I would risk ordering again only to receive unwrapped cigars. The 4 stars are based on the first delivery of cellophaned cigars.

Great for a morning smoke while out walking the dog or just in your garden. Its not overly sweet or bitter I found it to be a nice in-between. Burn wise it was fairly good and lasted a decent while for me about 25 to 35 mins. Over all if you like short but fat cigars Id definitely recommend giving this one a try!

I struggles with this one. Great price and I enjoyed the flavours. However, it didnt seem as well constructed as others in this range; mainly my favourite the Picadillo. Personally I would buy those instead but I will admit after reading then other reviews I could just have an odd one with bad construction. Ill let someone who has purchased a box of these comment on consistency. I do have another to try myself so Ill soon see. For those concerned about this brand and price though, dont worry! For a good smoke that doesnt break the bank you cant really go wrong and it holds it own in the New World range.

One of those flash sales. Six of these with six thin cigars for £64. I thought worth a try as I liked the size (short & fat) and the price point was great. A really good medium strength smoke with a steady burn. Go along with the wrapper being thin but super impressed

So my review reflects the quality of the cigar build as well as the smoke. To the latter, it looked tightly rolled but actually drew really well, the ash held all the way down and it was moslty pleasant. Actually far better than the davidoff WC traveller belicoso (which unlike every other davidoff i’ve had, was bland). So for smoke and price undoubtedly great value. However this cigar had bloomed (is that the right word) at the end like it had dried out and rehydrated. Also the wrapper is wafer thin so when smoking it cracked down the length which ruined the final half. This was due to condition on arrival and if this example had been offered in a shop i would have swapped it out, i guess thats the downside of mail order but i do feel it was obvious this example was poor quality and should have been rejected. Cant comment as to whether this is typical , but i see the boxes are being promoted so someone else can advise. My score reflects my actual experience rather than what could have been.
