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.

This was a little powerhouse of a cigar, right from the start the strong flavours hit you, I loved it! After the halfway stage it gets a little harsh but still very enjoyable.
I recommend this if you like a strong 20 minute smoke, excellent value too.

What a surprise!
Only placed in basket to make-up the order for free delivery.....
Ordered Montecristo No4, Jose Piedra, Punch, etc. and required only another £5/6 to qualify for free shipping, so thought so would try this weird machine / hand-finished Italian made/ Italian tobacco cigar..... and I love it..! A real surprise!
Smooth smoking, no pepper, but plenty of taste, with a good rounded coffee/woody, almost along the lines of a much fuller bodied Café creme...!
Definitely worthy of a few more on my next order, AND, nearly 1 hr of perfect burn!
I hate to admit it, .... but I really like it..... just wish it has a cool mark!!😇

After recently being very impressed by the Clandestino cigar by Nostrano del Brenta I was keen to see how the smaller Campesano compares. I rather enjoy their obstinately rustic, slightly crooked appearance. They are perhaps not so tightly rolled as a Toscano or other Italian cigar of a similar size and maybe this helps them have an easier draw and shorter smoking time. They are reasonably full flavoured without being too strong and show no sign of disintegration when gripped between the teeth whilst you reload the repeater to finish off those banditos, stoke the bbq or whatever else you may be doing at the time. They burned evenly with a nice solid ash stack. I think they offer quite good value as a shorter smoke and I will most likely buy again.

This cigar came to me feeling a bit dry, I discarded its little box and put it to rest in the humidor for month by which time it was looking and smelling wonderful. Compared to Toscano and other Italian cigars it is well rolled and nicely presented. It would not be right to compare it to a Cuban, they wont be to everyones taste but they are unique and of interest to an adventurous palate or an Italian sympathiser.
It lit well and with that first puff my taste buds were hit by an extraordinary combination of herbaceous notes, particularly mint and aniseed with supportive and very appealing dry, earthy tobacco flavours. It burned evenly and with a steadiness that allowed for a good quantity of smoke without being hot. The ash was almost white and very solid. The flavours and aroma remained rich and defined throughout and about halfway down the mint turned towards menthol and the whole experience was reminiscent of strolling through a rocky sun drenched herb garden. It smoked down further than I had expected and gave me about 40 mins of curious pleasure. It was certainly unusual but ve
