Neos Country Wilde Cigarillos - Tin of 20 (20 cigars)

Well, had this one for the 1st time today in the nice UK sun. Presentation is a bit on the rough side, think as I read somewhere it's kind of going for the cowboy vibe. The dry draw was sweetish and easy. First third was basically what I would call a watered down instant coffee, it leaves nothing much on the pallette and fades quickly, imagine a nice cheap red wine with no body or note after a sip. Second third is where it comes alive more, more body and get some spice and more fruity flavour. Retrohaling really made a difference, a HUGE difference is fact! There's more here to it but it just doesn't quite present itself. Last third it finally felt like I was on to something, more robust and earthy, spice comes on more . Over all, sure , machine rolled and for the price I guess it's 'passable' in this category. But my maxim is, much like coffee, life is too short to smoke 'ok-ish' cigars :) If it wasn't for that disappointment of a first third, I may have felt different. And really the retrohale... If that flavour could shine through more in the smoke it would have been a good one indeed.

although a little on the blaner side, not a bad smoke

Having recently tried the NEOS mini's - cappuccino flavour and found them to be very good I thought I'd give their Wilde Cigarillos a go. Once again I am impressed. They are smooth and mild but still have flavour. They also last longer than expected. For me they are as good as (if not better) than other panatellas out there and cost less money. What's not to like. Definitely recommended. Taking everything into account including price 5*.
