So I had heard many positive reviews about this cigar so I wanted to check it out to see if the hype was warranted. The construction was very good (well packed with a beautiful wrapper) however there was a very slight whiff of ammonia. After I cut the cigar (straight cut) I noticed the draw was a bit snug. The smoke output was decent however I was having to draw harder than I would have liked to achieve the volume of smoke that would allow me to delve into its flavours. It was medium to full, rich with notes of leather, nuts and earth. The blend is quite bold and complex which was nice but I was still struggling a bit to get a nice draw that would fully allow me to extract its full flavours. The smell of the cigar on the nose was lovely and the burn was relatively even given I was smoking in the garden with a gentle breeze. In the final third it opened up a lot more to a draw that would have been great from the beginning. Overall it was a nice cigar but I cant help but feel that I didnt experience it in its full splendour so I will be purchasing a few more singles in order to get a m

Some beautiful complex flavours in this stick that kept me intrigued throughout the entire cigar. Based on the price point of these I dont think there is much out there that can compete for your everyday smokes. A nice medium strength which compliments them bold flavour notes of wood, earth, coffee and sweetness. No issues with the construction, my burn was straight, ash stacked pretty well and the draw was perfect! I cannot wait to indulge in the rest of the Mitchellero Peru range and try out them other Vitolas... Something tells me they will be a frequent purchase for my humidor.

Im now torn between this and the original being my favourite. This stick had a beautiful complexity to it that just stood out to me, and Id say that its a medium strength cigar with a full body. I got flavours of wood, leather, a sweet finish with some citrus in the background. The burn started off uneven, however it evened out soon after. I had a perfect draw and overall I was super impressed with the value for money this stick has. The great thing about this cigar is that it is so flavourful but they dont clash with each other, its a very smooth transition between each flavour, and thats something that really stands out to me. Looking forward to trying more vitolas in this range soon.

Mitchellero Peru Gordo Cigar - 1 Single
by Graham
Ordered the Sample pack, smoked this one yesterday, really liked it.
A nice 40-45min afternoon smoke, with a Coffee, and a Bourbon.
Given the price point, there was no harsh surprises, smooth, a nice background taste, and aroma. The ash was was a consistent Grey, not huge plunges of smoke, the burn was very consistent all the way down.
I used a V Cutter, which gave ‘me’ a nice amount of intake. This Cigar, unlike some I’ve purchased at this point are a good ‘bang for buck’ the Conquistadors I’ve had have knots in, go out, and crumble at the Cap end!! I’m hoping this was just a bad batch of them, we’ll see when I retry then?
But, too be honest, I can see these Peru’s being my go too Cigar..excellent value.

Well I got one of each of these to try after a recommendation last weekend and I have to say I was very surprised how good they are. Im smoking the Gordo with my morning coffee as I type and theyre complementing each other beautifully. Theres a very nice balance of room note and taste I get the very nutty taste from this and a good long retrohale that doesnt have you in tears. I would recommend these to a new starter as for the price its a very good introductory smoke 5/5 👍
