Lovely medium flavoured cigar, one of the best smokes you can buy for the money, only downside is they can be tight on the draw, I'd say one in three are. But never the less these are one of my favourite non Cuban smokes.

I have now purchased 7 of the My Father Flor De Las Antillas, Robusto. I Am fairly new to Cigar smoking but it is fast becoming my favourite pastime.
I have found that so far my Best smoke was the Davidoff Magnificos, however in very close second is the FDL Antillas.
The construction of this cigar is usually perfection, however the red band at the end of the Cigar, as seen in the photo above, has twice been fastened a little to tightly and has squeesed the wrapper for the first 15mm. This, however, does not negativly affect the cigars performance.
The burn on this cigar has been fantastic every time i have smoked one.
At the start you get hit with a beautifully thick, smooth, cool smoke that is very pleasant.
I get woody (Usually Cedar) and nutty flavours from this cigar and have been very impressed with it every time i have invested the time to smoke one.

Oliva make great cigars. The serie G belicosso is a particular favourite. The serie V's are also lovely. This double robusto is an impressive size and, because I'm a newbie, I can't talk with any authoriy about chocolate and espresso flavours, I'll deal with the stuff I can comment on. Beautifully made, perfect burn, loads od smoke, easy draw. Smells lovely - less than £12 for an impressive looking cigar. Great. Definately on my must have humidor list.

I can only echo what everyone else has said; a great some, possibly my favourite to date. Not too strong and complex, although by no means bland at all. Subtle flavours and a good half hour of smoke time, mine burnt brilliantly and I was rather sad to let it go! Needless to say I'll be trying some more R&Js in the future.

Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single
by David
OK,now i have smoked it and time has passed i feel i can review this...First off,the start is very bitter (for me) & harsh. For the first half i couldn't draw properly on it which became so frustrating,i had a lot of issues with it,was not an even burn for the first half as well and had to help it on its way. By the time i got halfway down it became lighter,more enjoyable but by the time i had finished it i felt sick,i had heartburn,my chest felt full,it was awful,i was considering buying another one of these as the second half got me interested but will avoid from now on...first time i have felt sick from any smoke...i bought this because of the reviews but maybe i just got a bad cigar. Rated 2 instead of 1 because of the small amount of joy i got for a few minutes.
