Well what a disappointment! I had been saving this for a special occasion as this was so far my most expensive single cigar purchase. So I saved it for my Silver Wedding Anniversary. Unfortunately the big day/night it was impossible to draw. I tried everything - it lit, but nothing was coming through, it was impossibly tight. So I put it out and picked up a Partagas D instead. The next day I went back to my Cohiba and after some very careful poking with a cocktail stick I managed to get some flow - but it was burnt tasting and bitter - so I had to throw it away. By far my worst cigar experience - I have a Cohiba Siglo II to try so I am hoping that will give me an idea of what the fuss is about, but this Robustos was un-smokable.

Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single
by Scott
Really disappointed with this one. The cigar was very promising upon lighting, very peppery, lots of smoke. However within a couple of minutes the outer leaf had completely split all the way down the stick, making it completely unsmokable. I would not buy this stick again for that reason. I was expecting more after smoking the Fuerte Maduro yesterday and really enjoying it.

A great experience, very well balanced and constructed cigar.

Medium to full-bodied cigar, solid consrtuction. Peppery from the outset. Initially it burned unevenly, however in the second third it evened itself out. Lots of smoke and easy draw all the way down. The flavours arent complex and there was not much of a change all the way down but at this price point its a solid option. Smoke time for me was 60 minutes and it went really well with my black coffee. Will be buying again.

Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro - 1 Single
by Stephen
Good for an hour and a quarter. Pleasingly mild. I bought ten and had a slight problem of uneven burning with three, probably due to my faulty lighting-up technique. Unbeatable value at the price.

I would have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this smoke. As already desribed in the other reviews, it delivers very well for the money. Well made, lots of smoke, lasted me just over an hour. Ive given it a 4/5 as its difficult to give this a straight 5 without some context. Meaning that if you compare it to the Romeo y Julieta Churchill, at twice the price, theres just no competetion; the RyJ would get the 5 all day.
