Mitchellero Picadillo Cigar - 1 Single

Had 3 of these delivered as a replacement for an order that was out of stock, Im new to smoking cigars, but this has been the worst smoke for me yet, all 3 cigars had an uneven burn, the wrapper started to unravel on each one, the notes were strong with an awful lingering after taste, and the smell while smoking was awful. Another one ticked off the list but I wont purchase these again.

I recieved a reccomendation to try these when they came back in stock. For the price I was pleasantly surprised. Good even burn and a good length smoke for the length of the cigar. I wish Id have punched it rather than cutting (my usual practice) just because of the draw but this really is a lovely smoke for the money. As someone who likes Montecristos, I found these enjoyable and mild with a lovely darkest chocolate flavour. Im new to articulating what I can taste but I assure youbthese are a great cigar for the price. Will be ordering more. Should also add that C.gars Ltd have been a great supplier for me and in my opinion, cant be beaten in price or range or products. Advice is always good (Pairings etc) and any issues resolved with excellent customer service. Dont hesitate, for this price give them a try!

Fantastic cigar for the price! With a bit of care these are a great smoke, I say care as the wrappers are very fine and can crack easily. The flavour is very pleasant nice creamy mocha with the final third turning a bit more savoury and spicy. My box is nearly finished so Im glad theyre back in stock. Ive found that using a punch or piercing the end has stopped wrapper problems when cutting them.

Pleasantly surprised. Easy draw and good flavours but not as complex as other cigars Ive smoked, but, cant complain for this price. Took about 45 mins to smoke. Construction not great, the wrapper leaf started to unravel as I came up to the last third. Would buy these again for cheap smoke however.

So, after eagerly awaiting this release I managed to get a hold of the Picadillo soon after. After some mixed good and bad experiences with previous New World cigars at the price point of £5 I wasnt sure what to expect, however, this cigar truly blew me away - but then again, I dont expect any less from Mitchell!

Firstly, the cigar was packed with tobacco very well, with no nasty bumps, veins or plugs. I found it to be more on the spongy side as opposed to the harder, tighter packed cigars - but I actually prefer this. The cut was good, with no ripping or unravelling, and the light was also pleasant; releasing lots of creamy smoke. I lit it pretty terribly on my walk through the woods, but within the first minute of lighting, the burn had evened out very well.

On the first third the picadillo came in with some spice on the tip of my tongue, yet was not overpowering. In the midst of the spice I was introduced to some cinnamon and cedar, to which really balanced out well across my palate. I noticed the salty taste on my lips too, which is a personal favourite of mine, so was pleasantly surprised at this.

Through the middle third, the salty, cedar notes continued, yet became slightly more bitter, differing from the sweetness I got from the first third. I was then made known to some oaky undertones. The ash was looking really good too - still holding firm and I didnt feel as though the ash would drop onto me at any point.

The last third would bring in some white pepper, consistently mixing with the salty notes, and yet again teasing more cinnamon like in the first third.

I found the Picadillo to be a good medium strength, which didnt make me feel too overpowered. I feel as though this cigar would be great for anyone from a novice to a cigar aficionado, and would go very well with a coffee or a Stalla Dhu Speyside.

Overall this cigar was extremely impressive for the price point it actually is. If I wasnt told the actual price but had to make a guess based on my experience, I would say around £15-20. 100% recommend.
