Mitchellero Peru Gordo Cigar - 1 Single

I have no issues with this cigar. An easy med /light cigar with an excellent draw with a good long Ash. When you consider the price of Cubans at the same size then you are going to get 2-1 so unless 'tiy must have a Cuban ' try these.

I am a new smoker, I went in store and got this cigar. I have to say as a new smoker it was very enjoyable. It wasn’t overly strong and was nice on the pallet. The flavours were very nice and had a nice draw. Would recommend you try it.

Full disclosure, I am no cigar aficionado but any stretch of the imagination. Having recently decided to learn more and experiment with this, thoroughly enjoyable, past-time I have become a huge fan of CGars sample packs that allow me to experience cigars I wouldn't usually commit to buying myself. Over the last 6 months I can confidently say that the full range of Mitchellero Peru Vitola/Formats are the most consistent and enjoyable cigars that have come to command the most space in my, small, humidor. For perspective, my cigar of choice is the Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill, but the price range put them in the special occasions bracket. I favour the Gordo based on its ring gauge and length, which in my opinion creates the best flavours, smoke to draw ratios, and at this price means I can indulge myself on a more regular basis. So what should you expect from these unassuming rockstars? As mentioned, full marks for consistency in the quality of the product, they light well, maintain ash longer than anything else I have smoked, burn beautifully and deliver a rounded enveloping smooth smoke that develops from a spicy excitable complex start and becomes sweeter with caramel tones and longer lasting flavours as you reach the end of the experience. Perfectly partnered with Coffee and Bourbon. The flavours are so enchanting that, more often than not and when time is on my side, I will tear the butt slightly and plonk it into a corn pipe to get the most out of this amazing cigar! I prefer a V-Cut for this cigar, unlike many Cubans which have a tighter draw, you can concentrate the flavours from this stick better with a V-Cut without generating too much heat. In fact, where did I put that lighter? Back in the game. Enjoy!

This was a fairly good smoke considering its price. Unfortunately, and that's the reason why I'm not giving it 4 or 5 stars, the wrapper peeled off on the last third of the stick (but that didn't stop me to finish it)

I have to say, what a pleasant surprise this was. For a price point of around £8 or £9 quid, I expected it to be sort just ok-ish, but I really did enjoy it a lot. A nice little stick, ideal for the good old morning coffee and bun time break, or with a coffee and a biscuit. Excellent little cigar, very nicely done folks! Keep it up.
