(.jpg "Henri Wintermans Half Corona - Pack of 5 cigars")
Date Added: Saturday 23 July, 2016
These little half coronas generally get a bad rep - I decided to ignore that and give them a chance.
Now, my hypothesis regarding their reputation is based upon the price-point being somewhat tailored toward the beginner. Generally, they'll be picked up on a whim as a first foray into cigars; the problem begins! These overheat VERY easily. If you don't respect that, the bitterness is staggering and very off putting. One has to realise that to enjoy these, you must give it time. I have no problems relaxing for a good 35 minutes with one! Take it slow and without the over-heating problems, they're a very tasty little smoke.
Woody, earthy and as has already been mentioned, a nice slight sweetness. If you're looking for complexity, this isn't it. However, for good construction, great burn and a comfortable draw, all combined with a lovely smooth taste and pleasant oily texture - go for it!
Less than £2 a stick.. come on. Get your self a pack (or two) and enjoy a guilt free, cheapo smoke with a few buddies. 5/5 can't fault them for the price.

Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single
by Jordan
Great cigar for value, took me about 45 mind to get through.holds the ash very well and gives an even burn through out. Taste was a little underwhelming but still leaves something on your pallet. I can see myself stocking up on these

Not a bad stick.
The draw's a bit tight for the first third, but the taste is nice; mild, leathery with a slight hint of sweetness.
Into the middle, the draw eases off a little and it starts to produce some nice, complex flavours - woody, earthy, with a hint of pepper.
The final third has an easy draw. The smoke starts getting warm, the spicy taste gets a little stronger. There's a hint of tar and leather.
This is okay as a transition from cigarillos to the slightly larger cigars. I got about 45 minutes of burn from it.
My only criticism is the tar aftertaste when it's finished.

I finally got round to smoking this cigar (I received a gift of three sticks from CGars). I have read some rather scathing reviews on some cigar forums, well all I can say is they must be smoking the wrong cigar. This was a lovely smoke. It was wonderfully smooth and creamy and I got hints of hazelnut. It burned well with lovely strong white ash. There were very slight construction issues when the label was removed, but it was minor and didn't detract from the pleasant smoking experience. I do however disagree with the strength. In my opinion it is a very mild cigar. Overall this is an excellent cigar and I look forward to smoking the two I have left in my humidor.

Great cigar, good construction, draw and even burn- flavour is nice (after the first two drags which taste like a hamlet!). Bought five and they are all consistent. Best value cigar going in the UK

Wow. Just WOW. This Cigar is incredible. It has a lovely smooth taste to it, a nice loose draw (which I prefer) and burns absolutely perfectly. For the price point, this cigar is unbeatable, I've had some £15+ Cubans which are not as nice as this bad boy. I cannot recommend this cigar enough.
