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.

Punch Punch Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
Lovely! Well made, light to medium cigar for when you dont want anything to heavy. Reminds me why my favourites are always from Cuba. Its a bit like Champgane or Cognac, there are good examples made elsewhere but nothing beats the real deal.Perfect draw, good construction and flavoursome enjoyable smoke. Buy a handful for your humidor and you wont be disappointed.

I had a look at the price and decided to give it a shot. Generally i can describe this cigar as bitter and little spicy. It was constructed pretty well, nothing was wrong with it. It was easy to light and maintained an even burn throughout. The draw was perfect. While the cigar burned, the light gray ash stayed attached up to about one third in. My biggest gripe with this particular cigar is the flavour, all throughout the burn it was very bitter. The woody flavour is present, and at about first third in, spicyness kicked in too. Not overly spicy (and i love spicy cigars) but you can definetly notice it. Did I say it was bitter? Oh yes, it was. From the start to the finish it was just getting worse and worse, and after 2/3 burned off, it just got unbearable. Overall the experience was okay. I do respect the build quality for the price, but I hope that my particular cigar was a one off and the rest arent as bitter. I will give them another shot, but I need to recover from this one.

Have tried this one before but a little disappointed with the latest order. Unravelled and very flakey from the start. Emailed customer services and had a reply within 4 minutes! Replacement sent, what fantastic service! A great smoke, 20 minutes of medium strength joy.

If this were a food it would be a decadent chocolate cake! I can’t give this cigar enough praise, stunning presentation, excellent construction, perfect draw. The dark obscuro wrapper promises, and delivers, a remarkably deep and intense smoke. There were veins and it did burn a little unevenly, however this didn’t detract from what was truly a delicious smoke, one that I burnt my fingers and lips trying to enjoy right to the bitter end. Flavours I detected were chocolate, wood, coffee, and a delicate whiskey aftertaste. It even had a somewhat peppery spice giving it a slight Cuban hint. Knocking off a star for uneven burn but other than that, a tremendous stick that I strongly urge you try!
