Mitchellero Sporty Cigar - 1 Single

Recently bought twelve of these as part of a flash sale humidor top-up. I generally prefer a robusto size but for the price these were good value for money. First cigar seemed a little harsh, but second cigar was very pleasant. Ideal as a smoke for pottering in the garden.

The Mitchellero Sporty was a straightforward smoke that felt very much like an everyday kind of cigar. It’s small and quick, which makes it convenient, but it doesn’t deliver the same depth as some of the larger formats. Flavor-wise, it’s earthy and woody with just a touch of pepper, but it stays fairly one-dimensional throughout. The draw was a bit tight on the one I smoked, though still manageable. The burn was mostly even, and the ash held on better than I expected for a smaller cigar. This isn’t a complex or fancy smoke, but I can see it being handy for situations where you don’t have time for a full robusto or corona. It has a rustic charm, but compared to the Mitchellero Robusto, it felt a little underwhelming. The strength is mild-to-medium, so it’s easy enough for a beginner to handle, though it doesn’t really deliver the same satisfaction as some of the other cigars I’ve tried. Overall, I’d say it works as a casual or quick smoke, but it wouldn’t be my first choice if I had more time. Rating: 6/10

The Mitchellero Sporty was a pleasant surprise. Its a long, thin (not too thin though) cigar that lasted me around 40 minutes, and I found it to be a really enjoyable smoke. There’s a natural sweetness to it, and while my palate isn’t trained enough to pick apart every flavour, I did notice it changed a bit as I went along, each third had something slightly different going on, which kept it interesting. For the size and the price, I’d say it’s a solid choice, especially if you’re still exploring different cigars and want to try something a little different in shape and profile. It felt like good quality, and I’d happily smoke another one again. A nice, relaxed stick that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the time it gives you.

Had this as part of a sampler no flavour apart from old wood and diesel but what did I expect 7 cigars for £35 not looking forward to the next 5 in the selection
