Mitchellero Novellini Cigar - 1 Single
by Antony
A quick follow up on my earlier review. They arrived on the dry side however after a couple of days in a ziplock bag with a 69% boveda they have transformed. In fairness to CGars they did offer to replace them but I decided to give them a day or two to settle. So full marks for customer services who responded very quickly to my email and I have added the extra star. If yours arrive a bit dry give them a day or two with a Boveda or similar and they are an excellent smoke.

An enjoyable smoke for the money.
Nice easy draw, plenty of smoke, medium strength.
Got a good 25-30 mins out of it, an even burn with no need to relight.
Definitely a good humidor filler

Por Larranaga Galanes Cigar - 1 Single
by Harold
My daughter bought me one (and a few other brands) for Christmas. I kept this one in my humidor as a special smoke for New Years Eve and I was dismayed from the start. To begin with it would not draw. The initial cap clip was very hard indicating a very poor make that produced a tight block. Despite a probe up inside the barrel it still would not draw so I tried feeling how far up the barrel the hard block reached. Too far. I used my cutter again and cut up to what I thought was going to improve the draw. Not very far. I wanted some cigar left to smoke. Still no draw. I cut more and it began to draw. Then I discovered the flavour was almost tasteless. It did not improve at all, leaving me very annoyed. It spoilt my New Years evening. I guess I got a bad one But for that price there should not be a bad one in the box.

Mitchellero Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Mathew
Decided to take a chance on these cheap Robusto cigars and bought 10. Was pleasantly surprised, easily as good, if not better than many other high brand Nicaraguan cigars at twice the price, a real bargain! After storing in a small cedar box with a large 75% Bovida for two months this cigar has become superb! Will be ordering more to smoke and some to put in a large humidor for years to allow ageing. A real bargain!

Had this in my humidor for a while and really hyped it up in my head before smoking.
Construction was very good, great burn and great size 20-30 mins smoke. I smoke fairly quick. Very mild cigar maybe too mild for me. Lots of body which I really like. Good price also. Not much in the way of flavour, good bit of wood. Creamy around the middle but I was underwhelmed if I’m being honest.
I would buy again if the price drops a bit, better sticks out there for the price. Don’t be put off, try it for yourself.

Mitchellero Novellini Cigar - 1 Single

I’ve had two orders of these. In the first order they arrived in cellophane and were a really nice 45 minutes smoke. Had one after lunch on Christmas Day, smooth , creamy perfect burn , held ash well and was a complete pleasure. Second delivery of 5 more arrived this week along with a couple of others. Was a bit surprised to find them unwrapped not in cellophane. On further examination they felt a bit dry, decided to give one a try and my fears were confirmed when I cut it.Definitely on the dry side, decided to persevere and toasted and lit. What a difference, somewhat harsh albeit a decent draw. In fairness it improved but had wrapper issue with splitting in the second half, also a somewhat uneven burn. So the other 4 are in my humidor and I shall leave them to see how they improve. At this price they are great value however I would suggest they need some time in humidor if they arrive “loose”. The cellophane wrapped ones were a lovely, bit of a disappointment but I’m not going to mark down too hard and will see how they are in a month or two.
The problem now is I would look to re
