Pleasant and refined throughout. Subtle aroma, impeccably smooth draw, and a whisper of nutty savoury depth near the end. A quiet, elegant smoke with understated complexity, fine construction, and a clean, classic appearance.

Close to 50 minutes, but I was so pleasantly relaxed that I forgot to note the time when I finished. Good construction and lots of smoke (which is nice) although the burn became uneven in the final third - not that this affected enjoyment in any way. Not quite as flavoursome as I had been hoping for, given the excellent reviews, and not as good as the Casa Carrillo Prequel in my mind. However, I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it to a friend, as well as buying more for myself. If only it was slightly smoother with a little more depth of flavour. But all in all, an excellent smoke and I'm picking nits. I was sipping a quality rum while while smoking (Westerhall Estate) which worked very well indeed.

Not a highly well known brand. But definitely one to have in your humidor. Personally I think it could have done with a few more months in the humidor. Started off not great ( not a bad drew ) but Started to really come into its own in the last third and got quite strong.

What let his down for me was the uneven burn. Lovely flavours, but the burn let it down for me. Maybe just a bad one

Really enjoyed this, strong flavour throughout and no issues with the draw with a slightly creamy final 3rd. This may be my new day-to-day smoke!

These are are mild enough and not unpleasant, but for me the filter really takes away from the experience. Like with other filtered cigarillos, you lose a lot of the flavour and body that makes cigars enjoyable, so they end up tasting closer to cigarettes. They do have a couple of positives, they come well presented, they’re consistent, and because they’re filtered and tightly packed, they keep for ages without needing a humidor.
They’re useful to have tucked away for convenience, but personally I find them a bit flat. If you just want something mild and easy with no upkeep, they’ll do the job. But if you actually want that fuller cigar taste, I’d say skip the filters altogether.
