Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single
by Russell
i will start by saying this is a really nice looking cigar and for the first two thirds and about 30 minutes of smoking I was really enjoying it then bang the outer leaf split and that was that the taste went from mild to bitter and I had to leave it. That said I will probably get some more in case it was just a duff or more likely something I had done wrong as until then I thought I had found that elusive cigar I was looking for ( cheap, nice taste and looks good ) .

Bargain Cigar V Cut Cutter - Black
by Elliot
Bought these as a way of trying a V cut. Cutters are Cheap but effective - Slides nicely and cuts very well considering the price - Cut a nice V into my Juan Lopez which is of the larger cigars. Would 100% recommend.

A pleasant smoke. Started off quite harsh but mellowed a bit. Noticeable sweetness with strong leathery and coffee notes. Quite monotone throughout, not offering the complexity I've noticed recently trying my first H.Upmann no 2. This cigar took about 45 mins and had a steady burn and a solid construction. For the price, a pretty decent smoke.

Great cigar! Stayed wrapped until the end, ash held for a good 2 cm before falling off, great flavour - what more do you want? Oh its a bargain too!! If you'd given me one and said it was 4 times the price I wouldn't have called you out on it!! Bargain, great little cigar!

This is a delicious blend with no component overpowering the rest. If you like Latakia (and I do) there's enough here to keep you interested, but not so much that it should put off those who dislike excessive Latakia. The perique is balanced beautifully as a condiment and links the Latakia and Virginias smoothly. It's not really a Balakan blend, but it is very good.

Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single
by Steffen
For the money, this is an exceptional cigar. Excellent build quality and draw, with no over/underpacked zones. Nice even burn requiring minimal touch-ups. The best thing about these is the full, distinct cuban flavours that are delivered at this price point. Not as complex as the H Upmann half coronas, a favourite of mine, but they don't need to be when they taste this good.
I couldn't detect any ammonia or overly strong spice in these; however, they do become quite strong in terms of nicotine delivery after smoking past the label. I'll keep a couple in the humidor for a while as I don't doubt that they'll mellow over time.
