Chinchalero Novillo Torpedo Cigar - 1 Single
by Anthony
Took forever to light this one up and had to keep puffing on it to keep it alight which gave it a horrible bitter taste and uneven burn for the first inch, but maybe it was over-humidified from my new mostly empty humidor. So I blew through it to clear the nicotine build up, ( it looked like dirty exhaust fumes!) then smoked it slowly to let it cool, then it began to open up slowly with a very nice just like a cigar should taste like flavour, and aroma. The final third got even better! But not as balanced as the excellent Novillo fuerte maduro.

Recommended to me by David at Turmeau’s Liverpool to celebrate the birth of my first child, this is hands down the best cigar I have ever smoked. I was back in the shop within days to pick up some more. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

As someone who has smoked MANY Cubans over the years I can honestly say that there isnt better value for money than the Jose L Piedra range. These have a wonderful earthy flavour and always find myself ordering these again throughout the years. I mainly smoke these whilst driving due to the shorter length but if you want a similar cigar that will last longer then I advise the Cazadores range that Jose L Piedra provide.

I had a couple of these over Christmas and they are very nice cigars indeed and I don't see how anyone could be disappointed with these. The cigar is very well made with a nice oily wrapper. Burns evenly throughout. There is a pleasant smooth creaminess with dried grass undertone throughout but the overall character changes throughout starting off with caramel, developing to cappuccino/coffee with progressively increasing woody/earthy flavour going toward the end. A delicious cigar and one that you don't have to be a connoisseur to appreciate (I'm not) making it a solid choice as a gift for someone.

The draw was way too tight and ended up working so hard at it it wasn't enjoyable and ended up becoming bitter at half-way whereupon I gave up on it a little disappointed. But hey ho, you have to take the rough with the smooth and I don't regret giving this one a go. I'll give it a neutral score because what flavour I was getting out of it to begin with was allright. I won't rule out trying another but it goes to the back of queue.

Really made up with these. Construction is fantastic, burns perfectly with a pleasant draw.They look great with a lustrous dark wrapper and white ash which compliments the wrapper and stays on until half-way. Flavours of dark chocolate, wood and spice all of the way through. I smoke these happily to the nub. One of the cigars was a little firm and I'm a bit frightened to smoke it (as I don't have a humidor yet) but even still a wonderful smoke.
