I actually prefer these to the Nostrano del Brenta Il Doge. For me the flavours are a little more full and well defined making this my new favourite Italian offering from CGars. Flavour is consistent, warm notes of leather and seasoned wood, fresh hay and loam. Hints of nutty caramel transform into Italian coffee and quality tobacco. This is a cigar to kick-back with, feet up, after a good meal and toasting your toes by an open fire.

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Decent short smoke if youÂ’re looking for something of Cuban origin and quality. ItÂ’s size meant it didnÂ’t have the time to develop any complex flavour profile but was still enjoyable. Went well with a double expresso.

A pleasant tasting mild cigar that smokes cool till it burns your lips. Plenty of coco and earth without any pepper or spice. However there are better out there for less money, and like other reviews have said, its rolled way too tight. Id be happy to smoke one again if it was a gift but I wouldnt buy one.

Amazing taste - awful build. Good draw but very, very uneven. As I smoked, a distict seam began to form along a more loosely filled portion. But, at the same time the taste was wonderful: dark chocolate, stout, marshmallow and beetroot... and black cardamom. Sweet but very deep. 2nd third burning a very little more even and flavour getting a little more spicy. A little disappointed but mostly down to the build. The cap was so bad even a shallow cut with a very good cutter left it unraveling ... but the taste was very rich and distinct.
A real shame: I would buy more of these if the QC was better.
PS. Down to last third: getting very hard work just keeping it lit.
Overall: 4/10.
Sorry, because flavour is very much 7/10.

Whats not to like about these cigars? Mild but packed with character and gentle flavours that are reminiscent of warm summer days, fresh hey, fresh baked bread, brewing coffee and burnt caramel. Nothing intense, its all about hints and nuance. Texture is nice, draw is spot-on and if you have the time to enjoy the whole thing at once then there is well over an hours enjoyment in there. On the flip side, snip it in the middle and enjoy it twice; win - win! 😁
I am totally sold on the uniqueness of the Italian Nostrano cigars, good any time, any where.

Really sturdy construction, tight and firm but good draw without being tough. Taste isnt overly mild but smooth and creamy and lasted for a good 50 + minutes. Suitable for a cutter or punch and did not suffer any sponginess during the smoke either and flavours were consistent.
