Italico II Buttero Cigars - Pack of 5
by Robert
I Bought these as I've tried the others in the brand before . They looked very dry like a finger off a corpse or a twig that's been cut off and left on a work bench . Took a while to light as poor draw on the cigar. Had to relight 3 times in the 65 min smoke not very much taste in the ones which was a shame as the others had depth and lots of flavor during the smoke . Will leave the others in my humidor for a week or two before I smoke another one hope fully the draw will improve as they mature and become a bit softer and the taste will go thru the cigar .

Well constructed cigar. Nice cold draw. Smoked via a small punch cut.
Burnt reasonably well, held the ash well.
Good amount of smoke.
Almost no spice on the lips.
Tasted mostly of cedar, tiny amount of pepper.
Very easy smoke, probably best suited for a morning cigar.

I am a leisurely smoker and this lovely cigar lasted me 1hr and 50 minutes. Smoothness 9/10, flavour 9/10, build quality 10/10 ash retention on this is 11/10 it holds the ash like crazy which tells me that the build quality is great.
I smoked this with it being in my humidor for only a couple of weeks and will keep another for a few months and try it again.
Both bands came away very very easily.
The flavour I got was Smooth Tobacco, Wood, Leather and some expresso or very dark chocolate most of the way through.
A new smoker would enjoy this if smoked slowly also would be suitable for the faster smoker who like a bit of added spice (nicotine).
This is one to try for sure.

Flavour for days! This was the third cigar I had tried from my first CGars New World subsription. I have to say it's easily the best cigar I have ever had in the short time I have been smoking, which went to prove to me that the subscriptions are a much better way to get to know cigars you like - especially when compared to what I'd been doing previously and randomly buying packs of cigars. The 149 has a deep dark taste with a lovely earthy smell that I could still smell two days later. Nicotine levels appear low, which is how I like my cigars. I used a V-cut. Stored it at 70. I smoked it over three separate sessions! I am quite a light smoker, but when I do smoke I like it dark and flavoursome. Can't wait to try more of the Plasencias. Bravo CGars.

You cannot be disappointed with this cigar, one of my favourite torpedo cigars, great consistency with a medium strong finish, great taste with leather and creamy coffee notes, I LOVE IT! Definitely recommend it!

I am a slow pleasure smoker and this took me 75 minutes before it was laid to rest. Consistent flavour all the way through of tobacco, wood and nuttiness with plenty of smoke.
Good even burn well after the band was removed just got a little wavy on the burn as it encroached the nub but not enough to need any help.
I have another one in the humidor and will try it again over the festive season to see if there is any difference.
Would I recommend this to a new smoker ? Yes if you take your time with it, but if you are a fast smoker who never puts it down then the spiciness (Nicotine) will get you.
