Pretty ‘meh’ cigar for me. Had this about 3 weeks ago and the experience isn’t etched in my memory. Bought this as a potential everyday smoke but wasn’t too impressed. For a machine made cigar it did look pleasing but the draw was on the loose side and it burned rather quickly, despite its size... must have been quite loosely packed. The flavours were enjoyable, spicy with hints of coffee, but overall it isn’t a cigar I’d rush to buy again. Many better new world cigars constructed from medium/long filler that are better than this. If you fancy a cheap Cuban, Jose L Piedra’s beat these, in my opinion.

I had the petit panetela of this cigar in a sampler pack and loved it so invested in a couple of these slightly larger ones before my holiday.
Not only are they a fantastic cigar to enjoy in the sun with a Dominican rum, theyre just long enough a smoke to time the wifes getting ready.
Once Id had a smoke of this, and got ready myself, she should be done. The 20-25mins was a perfect duration for this smoke. I love the creaminess and the peppery notes at the end are great.
Lovely short smoke

I wanted to enjoy these and to a certain extent succeeded. I found them a little harsh in places and with hind sight would have left them in the humidor for a while longer.
Overall OK but I prefer the Inca secret blend at the price.

Im a newbie to cigars but my experiences with this chubby little stick is that it is a bit underwhelming for the first third
but woke up to provide some creamy and spicy notes towards the end, some peppery notes and very little ammoniacal bite.
Excellent construction, firm ash and even burn but started to unravel a bit in the last third.
Overall a very enjoyable smoke, some positive comments from other people about the pleasant aromatic smoke it produced.
I would say it would be like a much more refined Chinchalero Fuerte but with less harshness and less time spent correcting the burn.
I will be purchasing some more.

Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro - 1 Single
by William
So much better than the normal Novillo. People massively overrate the normal Novillo, I bought a single of each to test them both and the other one was dreadful. Thankfully, this one was much better. I didn’t have any problem with the draw or burn, like others have stated, but for £5 seriously if one in ten is rubbish, what does it matter!? I paired mine with a large Laphroaig and a couple of Aldi caramel wackos, it was heaven!

The single worst cigar I have smoked to date. Terrible draw having to constantly re-light. At the end of all the re-lighting you are rewarded with the most wonderful bland and dull taste.
Definitely worth trying to make you appreciate how good your current favourite cigar really is.
Cohiba should do a blind taste test with this cigar and listen very carefully to the feedback.
