Mitchellero Novellini Cigar - 1 Single

Good cigar much better than Peru I tried very smooth kept ash well will definitely get more

I got one of these as part of a sampler pack. Goodness me, that ring gauge is quite something and I am grateful to CGars for throwing in a free cutter that could cope with it! I took extra care when lighting it, but once done it delivered a decent draw and remained firm throughout. Not much need for relighting, save for a little work around the edges to stop tunnelling, not surprising given the girth. Overall a pleasant enough smoke, nothing special, but good value in the realms of hand-rolled cigars.

seemed very dry on lighting, the wrapper soon came undone and the cut was a little ruff. actually felt a little sick after smoking this not sure why not sure if it was an ammonia issue or because it was so dry. dont think ill buy this one again.

I have to say that I have only smoked cigarillos previously and branded over the counter cigars. Now in my 54th year on earth, I decided to try a real cigar and opted for this after advice via email from Cgars. I ordered 4, which arrived on said birthday and, firstly, I was very impressed by the packing of the cigars. So, I managed to cut the cigar fairly well but didnt light it particularly well, having a slight lopsided burn but it wasnt bad for a first attempt. This was a very satisfying smoke. Mild, slightly nutty and, best of all, the smell reminded me of my dad! It was a long smoke, I managed to get just over 70 minutes and 2 glasses of whiskey! Im going to give this cigar 4 stars as I am sure Ill discover better but Im adding the 5th for the customer service.

Bought as part of a bundle to try other sizes in the range but I found it too big in the ring gauge. 60mins smoking with a tight draw but it didn’t burn evenly although this could be because of my inexperience in lighting such fat cigars; it did have excellent ash retention. Same pleasant flavours as other Mitchelleros but for me it was too much
