Generally a nice cigar, above average smoke that lasted about an hour. Draw on the one I had was a bit tight, however it was well constructed and burned evenly.
Cigar started off mild, then got spicy and peppery at the mid point. Last third the spice become muted, and some sweetness came through with honey and floral notes developing on the palate.
I would have given this 3 & half stars, but rounded it down to 3, because I'm not keen on the spice/peppery notes.

If you enjoy the ritual of preparing and smoking your cigars, then the Maduro 5 Secretos will not disappoint. This truly is a thing of beauty to behold, with a rich, chocolate-coloured wrapper that displays superb totally hand-made construction and a wonderful odour.
The cigar toasts easily and produces wonderful quantities of smoke when it's being drawn, but virtually nothing when it's at rest. It has a medium to full body, with pepper being the overriding flavour.
The smoke is always smooth, never harsh, but the little Secretos is certainly full-strength, making me feel a little light-headed, but not in an overly unpleasant way.
I usually smoke only two thirds of my cigars, but this cigar kept on giving. Burn was a little inconsistent (I've smoked three of my box of 10 so far), but the ash remained firm and stayed in place for almost an inch - and more importantly the flavour stayed delicious throughout the 50 minutes or so they burn for.
Not for beginners - the strength is too much - but the Maduro 5 Secretos punches well above its weight. This is a quality cigar and i

Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single
by Philip
Already tried and love the darker Maduro version and so ordered a box as well as a couple of these in my very limited opinion they are a bit bland compaired to its darker brother but still not bad for the money

I saw these and thought I would give them a go.
Very supprised, it was never going to be a Cuban,
But never the less, well worth a punt,
Well constructed, easy draw with a mild mellow smoke, with an even burn.
Constant flavour for the length of the cigar.
All in all very happy with this budget cigar, and I will be buying a few more.

I've had a few of these now and just finished my last one sitting out in the last of the evening's sunshine (at last) with a glass of Shiraz. I have to say that these smokes are very satisfying, there is a rich mix of flavours, the draw is excellent, they are smooth and pleasing and they feel very right in the hand.
