Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single

Not for me im afraid, was quite harsh for my tastes and there was no real flavours to speak of except burnt tobacco and tar all the way through. The construction was excellent and draw was light but thats the best I can say about this cigar. I have 2 more in the humidor see if they improve with abit of age

A good little cigar and worth keeping a few in the humidor. Nicely made and feels good in the hand the burn is very even throughout. Quite a lot of smoke, which is always good, and a good spicy flavour, not strong but not weak. Smokable down to near the band and just right for when you have half an hour or so and would waste a robusto. Again I'm impressed by this brand and happy to keep a few of these for a reliable everyday smoke

Im a Big fan of these! Great from start to finish.

I brought a couple of these from Robert Graham in Cambridge (excellent service by the way). Smoked one a few days later, it burnt very evenly and didn't need to be re-lit. A fairly nice taste, lots of smoke,lovely aroma. The cigar was well constructed and a bargain at just £3.70. I will shortly buy the Maduro to try.

Thought I'd give this size of cigar a go and bought one of these, a Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro, a La Rica Gordito and a La Rica Gordito Maduro. When I opened the bag they came in, there was a strong smell of the camel house at Chester Zoo. Being relatively new to cigars and none of the cigars I'd previously bought smelling like this, I was a bit worried that I'd bought duds. Took a quick look at some forums and the conscensus strangely appeared to be that the more they smelt like manure the better the cigar would taste. Hurrah for the conscensus! This cigar had the peppery taste I like in Cuban cigars though it wasn't as strong as I'd like. Overall it lasted about an hour or so. The cigar got a bit messy at the end but I'd more than had my monies worth by then. If I had room in my humidor I'd buy a box of these as well as the Fuerte Maduro. As it is I had a slight preference for the Maduro so I'm buying a box of them instead. Though I'll definitely be buying a box of these when my previous choice of cheaper cigars - Jose L Piedra - run out.
