Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single
by Jordan
Not as memorable nor as pleasant compared to the Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro, but decent nevertheless. Dry, woodsy, with little kick. Pair this with a medium-flavored coffee on-the-go for a worthy smoke, though don't expect anything beyond acceptable.

Jose L Piedra Brevas Cigar - 1 Single

A decent smoke from the get-go; smoke filled with a peppery, woodsy flavor. Notes of pepper plant, spice, and oak wood power this little stick. Though not the best ash you'll find on a cigar, and most definitely not a memorable smoke, stocking up on a few is recommended, especially if you need cheap sticks for quick fixes.

Fonseca Cosacos Cigar - 1 Single

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
I bought one of these based on the previous reviews that I had read and was looking forward to sitting out on the deck with a coffee and enjoying this cigar.
I was surprised when I removed the paper coating to find the stick was quite veiny and the seam of the wrapper was quite prevalent. Nevertheless, I cut and toasted (narrowly missing the remains of the cap peeling away) and then sat down to enjoy this smoke.
Initially, I found the smoke harsh on the soft palate and back of the throat. I was getting a strong saltiness which wasn't unpleasant but the harshness was distracting from the flavour. Just as it began to settle down and get a bit more mellow, the burn began to grow increasingly uneven. The ash began to droop and then after only about an inch of the way down, it went out completely.
I relit and continued but very soon thereafter, the burn became uneven again and a dark colouration started to develop halfway down the wrapper. It didn't lose the bitterness either. And then, another half an inch and it went out again!
At this point, I was cursi

Nice even burn with good (strong) ash. Very mild and light with lovely aroma. The draw was actually quite tight and there were a few knots up the cigar! Would recommend though as it's very good value for money!

I've been wanting to try the Short Churchill for a while and I wasn't disappointed. What a great cigar and a perfect size. It had an excellent burn with strong ash and wonderful smoke. It was a lovely mild, sweet, nutty flavour and lasted me just under an hour. Thoroughly enjoyable.

A wonderfully earthy, medium-flavored cigar, perfect to kick off your Sunday morning over a hot, strong cup of coffee to contrast. Notes of coffee, chocolate, and earth ensure a pleasant, hot smoke during your final length. The mild buildup does not disappoint, and a nice, smooth draw compliments nicely.
