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.

One of my faves! If I had the money I'd buy them by the truck load and age as they are sweet, creamy & smooth. Occasional bitter note creeps in but just another month resting would solve that I'm guessing. Always very good construction, worth the money in my opinion. I think I'm the opposite from Thomas, started with cubans and quickly forgot about them - for me a really mellow and smooth cigar is vastly important... cubans are just too strong for me sadly. But I do still love my Punch Coronations... actually have to buy some soon! The band is a thing of beauty, as is the little red sleeve at the foot of these cigars - very nice attention to detail!
