I ordered a single.
As stated by Mark in another review the wrapper for me arrived cracked - though thankfully didn’t unravel. I think it may just be a thin wrapper and I expect when I receive my box which I plan on ordering that this problem won’t happen again (I suspect postage and being knocked about damaged the thin wrapper in transit.
The smoke is astonishingly creamy. It has a mild sweetness from the first third till around halfway. I would almost describe it as a flat white made with jersey cream. Really delicious for me as I no longer can drink coffee.
The smoke has a slight yeasty bready quality that was massively accentuated with a small sip of Earl grey tea. Really addicting.
The final third became more savoury and peppery. Black pepper spice at the back of the tongue and throat. A nice transition to be honest. The creaminess thins out but it’s still got some thickness.
The flavours are mild-medium bodied I would say. Be interesting to see how it tastes with some age.
Burn time for me (pretty slow smoker) was 1:10:00 with no relights. Great construc

Bought 10 just to see if a Robusto for less than £6 could really be a decent smoke. On balance, yes with enough flavour and an even burn. I have found, though, that the wrapper has a tendency to unravel and/or crack. Happened to varying degrees on 3 out of the 4 I’ve smoked so far. Perhaps my cutter is getting a little old but I don’t have trouble with other cigars.

Mitchellero Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Peter
This is a really good cigar, perfect draw and burn all the way to the nub. The ash held right up until the half way point. The flavours built as it went starting off with a fresh red pepper on the initial light building into a very pleasant spice and white pepper with dark chocolate on the retro. I will definitely be getting more to add to my humidor and could quite easily become a great daily summer smoke!

My hats of to Cgars with this one. Im not sure youll find a better cigar at this price point. Starts off fairly slowly with hints of sweetness and predominantly leather, while smoke output is quite muted. Second third introduces hints of chocolate and freshly cut grass, while the white pepper kicks in. Leather becomes more apparent in the last third while the sweetness drops off. Nice creamy smoke into the second third and carries right until the end. Very good burn, only one minor touch up required, otherwise construction is excellent.
Ive smoked worse cigars in the £10 - £15 range so at this price point, whatever deal you made with the Devil, it was worth it. These will become a regular in my future baskets.

First time trying a Nicaraguan as usually, I prefer Cubans, this was included in this months subscription. Sadly I wasnt too impressed, I found the draw to be poor and very bitter in flavour, no creamy, floral or fruit flavours as the tasting notes suggest. Overall the cigar seemed to me to be not very well constructed and the tobacco quite loose. As it was the first one Ive had from my subscription Im hoping the other 4 cigars prove to be more successful.
