Good cigars, but practically no resistance on the draw whatsoever - despite being very careful to only snip off the bare minimum from the cap - like sucking through an empty straw. I noticed these cigars have a very messy bunching at the foot full of large gaps and have a very lightweight feel in the hand, as if under-filled. Burned well however, with some lovely flavours. It reminded me in some ways of a good Sancho Panza Belicosos, only more complexity and richness from the second third on. Started very mild - woody, a little cocoa and sweet cream, but from the opening the peppery spice (especially through the nose) was quite aggressive for such a soft bodied cigar, slightly unbalanced in that respect. Developed to a solid medium body with some manure and light earthiness. A little saltiness and mild leather notes coming in in the back third along with a faint papery dryness and a little bitterness that lingered on the very short, dry finish. Finish was dry, woody and nutty. Certainly nice cigars but there are many better ones for such a high price.

Im no expert but here is my take...
This is acceptable for the price. You get a heffer of a cigar. Prior to smoking this i kept it in a humidor (out of the tube) for over 2 months at 72%RH.
It burned quite slowly but smoke was mediocre and the draw was a little tight. The flavour was neither too bland or too over powering. I felt like I was smoking a £12 cigar.
I normally never do this but I took the ciagr band off (this weakens the wrapper if taken off to early) it started to unravel and burn very unevenly after a third of the way through. I tried to re cut it to give it a second chance but this did nothing.
I looks nice, tastes okay, burns slow and has a tight draw. And its also pretty. But please for the love of all things cigars dont maky my mistake. Only take the band off when the burn line is about a half inch away from the band.

Nice smooth, well burning cigar with plenty of smoke, no harshness and some spice once you get in to it. Not a massive fan of the chocolate flavour but would definitely try the others. Im a to the fingers smoker to get my moneys worth! Had to leave a good 2 inches, otherwise the filler becomes incredibly loose ( more so than other short filler cigars Ive had ) and its like french kissing a tea bag. I preferred the Leon Jimenes Petit Coronas compared to this but for the price its a great smoke. Marking it down slightly for the two inches lost! :)

Tastes great to the end

An absolutely delightful smoke. I’m not a cigar “aficionado”, nor a big spender! But this cigar punches well above its weight. Maybe one day I’ll be lucky enough to purchase cigars of superior quality. But hey-ho, this will do for now! Ordered more.
