NUB Maduro 460 Cigar - 1 Single

This is a good average cigar, obviously reading the reviews IÂ’m of the minority that believe itÂ’s no 5 star. There is sweetness in the taste and on your lips due to this being a Maduro and theres few different notes of dark chocolate and spice. Construction and burn was excellent, unfortunately there was nothing making this stand out for me, comparing it to other cigars in its price point I found this cigar to be overpriced for what I experienced. Of course itÂ’s horses for courses, but IÂ’d personally not smoke one again unless given to me. IÂ’d prefer and suggest a Partagas D5 or m/c Petit Edmundo over this, again personally.

Excellent great flavour good amount of smoke will be buying more of these

After purchasing this cigar some time ago, it aged in my humidor for 18 months. I decided to give it a smoke during the nice summer months. Tastes in stages: In the first third the taste is mainly of dark cocoa and black pepper. It is incredibly flavoursome, but also very smooth: no bitterness at all. In the second third the dark cocoa is enhanced with a blast of dark coffee along with a good hint of black pepper. The final third consisted of coffee and leathery notes, the cocoa was much milder but the coffee notes were now joined by a leathery taste along with tge ever present black pepper. The cigar was incredibly smooth from first to last puff, despite the small size the cigar lasted for 1 hour 20 minutes. The burn was even throughout, no touchups required. Certainly one for those that enjoy bolder flavours, overall a fantastic smoke that I highly recommend.

I’m happy to admit that I’m not normally one to smoke anything apart from Cubans. That’s mainly because every non Cuban Has without question been pretty terrible. Even with my pallet developing and some ageing they all burn harsh and taste pretty terrible. This one however bucks that trend. The gauge probably helps but it’s a smooth sweet, creamy chocolate and vanilla from start to finish. Great cigar.

Nice smoke . But didnt get coffee or chocolate . Just white pepper down to the nub
