I cut this with a straight cut and immediately found some fluff inside the cigar that I had to pull out which was a very bad start, it was synthetic like nylon or something, maybe from a cloth or clothing. The first two thirds smoking this were good, it is fairly sweet tasting and has some depth to it. Not too strong in nicotine but full bodied. The final third became very bitter so I put it out. Not bad for a budget cigar and would have gotten a 3 star if it wasnt for the fluff. I wont be returning to this one again because I like to be able to smoke my cigars to the label at least.

Im afraid to say that this was a disappointment. As a big fan of the Padron 2000 and maduros in general so my expectations were high at this price point, its a smaller cigar than the 2000 too. It was slightly bitter, more spicy, a hint of sweetness, which was nice, but I only detected that a couple of times. I smoked it to the end and it lasted about half an hour. The draw and build quality were of a high standard but there are bigger and better maduros out there that are cheaper, including the 2000 maduro, in my opinion.

Cracking cigar with a smooth even draw, even burn. Peppery and nutty. Loved it…I can easily say this beauty is in my top 5!

Great cigar. 2 hours burn time to top of band, with a creamy smooth medium rich flavour, excellent draw and fantastic construction.

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.
