Neos Country Wilde Cigarillos - Tin of 20 (20 cigars)

Date Added: Friday 16 May, 2025 by Gerhard

Well, had this one for the 1st time today in the nice UK sun. Presentation is a bit on the rough side, think as I read somewhere it's kind of going for the cowboy vibe. The dry draw was sweetish and easy.

First third was basically what I would call a watered down instant coffee, it leaves nothing much on the pallette and fades quickly, imagine a nice cheap red wine with no body or note after a sip.

Second third is where it comes alive more, more body and get some spice and more fruity flavour. Retrohaling really made a difference, a HUGE difference is fact! There's more here to it but it just doesn't quite present itself.

Last third it finally felt like I was on to something, more robust and earthy, spice comes on more . Over all, sure , machine rolled and for the price I guess it's 'passable' in this category.

But my maxim is, much like coffee, life is too short to smoke 'ok-ish' cigars :)

If it wasn't for that disappointment of a first third, I may have felt different. And really the retrohale... If that flavour could shine through more in the smoke it would have been a good one indeed.
