Very enjoyable. I slightly prefer this over the Candente robusto format as the slimmer gauge seems to work better with this kind of blend for me, seeming to be slightly more balanced and focused. Earthy, coffee, pepper, sweet spice and some occasional almond and cherry/stonefruit hints that come and go. There is also a slight underlying taste throughout that is something akin to charred meat. Lovely deep rosado wrappers.

For lovers of very mild cigars. If you enjoy Connecticut shade or most Dominican Davidoff type cigars, this is a must-try for you. Personally not quite enough flavour for my tastes but it was still enjoyable for me. Perfect construction, very smooth, if sickly pale, wrapper with a slight sheen. Some hints of that general Padrón natural type flavour in there but generally some light cedarwood, hay, pepper and citrus hints. Into the second half a bit of baked dough type flavour came in. To be smoked slowly, otherwise the pepper bite and some heat can overpower the flavour somewhat.

I do not give bad reviews lightly, but this is without any doubt the worst cigar Ive ever tried in 17 years of smoking cigars. It wasnt simply not to my taste or a bit of bad flavour or construction, it was just outright disgusting. The flavour was like a mouthful of twigs and soil with a hint of burnt coffee bean. Despite a good draw and perfect burn, the flavour was dry, bitter, acrid and just horrible. I kept it going for 2 inches, seeing if it would turn into something at all but it in fact just got slightly worse as it went. I just couldnt bear it any longer and threw it away.

A great experience, very well balanced and constructed cigar.

Medium to full-bodied cigar, solid consrtuction. Peppery from the outset. Initially it burned unevenly, however in the second third it evened itself out. Lots of smoke and easy draw all the way down. The flavours arent complex and there was not much of a change all the way down but at this price point its a solid option. Smoke time for me was 60 minutes and it went really well with my black coffee. Will be buying again.

Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro - 1 Single
by Stephen
Good for an hour and a quarter. Pleasingly mild. I bought ten and had a slight problem of uneven burning with three, probably due to my faulty lighting-up technique. Unbeatable value at the price.
