I feel bad for giving this cigar only two stars as I looks so nice, unfortunately it did not live up to its appearance. Can't fault it for burn and construction, it was excellent there. I didn't at any point feel like I was smoking a maduro which kind of defeats the object. The taste was not unpleasant but pretty bland and considering it lasted over an hour it got extremely tedious. If this cigar was priced similarly to the chinchalero fuerte maduro i would consider buying more but it is considerably more expensive. Not very cheap for a budget smoke. If they bring out maduro versions of smaller cigars in the range I will definitely give them a go but this is too big and expensive for such an uninteresting smoke. A half corona size maduro would probably be a better experience. Short enough to not get boring and cheap enough to compete with other budget cigars.

I Picked up one of these from my local shop just to try one but left it in my humidor for about a month before smoking it yesterday, and I have to say it was one of, if not the best cigar I've had to date.
Pretty much everything was there that I like in a cigar:
- Medium/Firm draw
- Light to Medium flavour
- Burnt perfectly even without having to adjust
- Cigar itself felt firm in your hand
- lasted about 45 mins
- Under £10 (Bonus points)
I appreciate those features may not be for everyone but if you're a fan of the above then I couldn't recommend it more.

Disappointed to say the least! It took so much nursing keep it burning evenly, I even cut it half to give it another chance but gave up and had a Regius instead! No spiciness for me just hints of frustration with a strong undertone of annoyance!

Not the most experienced of cigar smoker, but after sampling many brands and trying both Cuban and new world cigars this one is a keeper. Loved the flavours of coffee, spice and woody notes. Highly recommend for the price and quality can't go wrong.

Chinchalero Torpeditos Cigar - 1 Single

I was pretty impressed with this for the price. I was expecting it to be very harsh and bitter. What I got was a clean fresh and floral tasting cigar that tasted pretty consistent all the way down to the end. I will be keeping some around to give to people who want to try a cigar with me without giving away a precious cuban or for when I'm too drunk to taste anything expensive :)

Diplomaticos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Steve
This is a really enjoyable cigar which reminded me a lot of the HDM Churchill although of different proportions, it gives lots of thick smoke and a beautiful creamy nutty taste on the pallet with a delicate salty finish. Lots of complex flavours, subtle nutmeg comes along for the ride. The draw and burn was perfect with even dark grey ash that held for an inch or so at a time. It was never harsh or bitter and lasted me around an hour and a half. Lovely dark brown oily wrapper that gave off a beautiful aroma from start to finish. As I am getting more experienced I'm noticing the nuances that some of the old hands wax lyrical about, with good storage and un-rushed smoking I think this is definitely one cigar that sits should sit perfectly in everyone's humidor. Great afternoon smoke that I look forward to enjoying again in the future.
