Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single by Dominic

I bought one of these to try it out based on the reviews and price tag as thought it was worth a punt... But now I wish I hadnt. Although it is a lovely looking cigar that is where the positive features ends in afraid. Firstly cutting these isnt easy with your standard cigar cutter and lighting these isnt easy either. It didnt burn easily either due to its poor build quality with over packing in part of the cigar and lightly packing in the other causing it to sideburn. The flavour is extremely soapy which iv never experienced before and hope to never experience again, I read someone else in the reviews state the same thing but stupidly passed it off as they probably didnt know what they were talking about... How naive and unfairly dismissive of me and I will now never make that mistake again (my apologies whoever you are). Iv just left the final inch and a half to go out in my ashtray before I empty it as it is extremely unenjoyable. It is such a shame that it tasted this way as for the price I couldve dealt with the poor build quality and side burning for such a cheap price... But t

Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro - 1 Single by Anthony

These little porkers have got to be the winners in this price range, even though they have gone up £1 this week, I have ordered some more for curing!

Chinchalero Novillo Torpedo Cigar - 1 Single by Anthony

Took forever to light this one up and had to keep puffing on it to keep it alight which gave it a horrible bitter taste and uneven burn for the first inch, but maybe it was over-humidified from my new mostly empty humidor. So I blew through it to clear the nicotine build up, ( it looked like dirty exhaust fumes!) then smoked it slowly to let it cool, then it began to open up slowly with a very nice just like a cigar should taste like flavour, and aroma. The final third got even better! But not as balanced as the excellent Novillo fuerte maduro.

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single by Anthony

Must say I agree with Christian (over on previous review page) on this one, better to spend an extra pound for chinche's excellent Novillo fuerte maduro. But will give an extra star for its build, and price.

Cuaba Divinos Cigar - 1 Single by Judah

I picked up one of these in Brussels recently. It seemed well made with a nice, dark, oily looking wrapper. As many others have stated, it had a tight draw, although it produced plenty of smoke and the draw didn’t affect the smoking of it much, tight as it was. The pre-light draw had an earthy quality to it with hints of sweetness. The burn wasn’t the best. It became uneven quite soon and didn’t correct itself so I had to touch up the lagging side with my lighter. The first few puffs were truly amazing. Naturally there was that unmistakable Cuban flavour along with earth and creamy chocolate notes. This soon gave way to a much more noticeable earthiness and some spice, still with that creamy chocolate in the background. The spiciness picked up in the second half and intensified towards the end. I smoked it until there was just less than an inch left and only abandoned it because it was tunnelling and another touch up would have killed it anyway. Despite the less than stellar burn and draw, it was one of the tastiest cigars I’ve ever smoked. The flavours were bold, even with the tig
