Was sent this instead of a Cameroon I ordered. Was pleasantly surprised with this. First thought when I lit it was this doesnt smell as good as a Hoyo de Monterey, not going to enjoy it. I was dead wrong, this is the 1st cigar I have actually smoked to the nub! Perfect contstruction, perfect draw.
(not really commenting on taste notes as a. Im not experienced and b. Not everybody has got the same taste buds)

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.

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

Gutted! Was looking forward to this but it let me down. Beautiful looking cigar which cut well and the unlit draw seemed ok. Once lit though the draw proved tight and it didnt really improve. The smoke output was poor. Light body during 1/3, which developed to the low side of medium by the 2/3, which is where it remained throughout. Reasonable burn which needed correcting twice. Draw became very hot halfway through 3/3, with no improvement to smoke output. Lasted a fraction over 40 mins. Overall disappointed, especially for the price. A shame.
