De Olifant - Tuit Senoritas - Knakje XO Cigar - 1 Single

I found this to be pretty "meh". Nothing particularly special about the flavour, and at about 2/3 of the way down, the wrapper started to... unwrap, and became a complete mess to try and smoke. Of course my taste is purely subjective and someone else might find it enjoyable - I'm still somewhat of a newbie to smoking cigars so maybe my palate just isn't refined enough to appreciate what might very well be the more subtle nuances within this particular cigar. But at the end of the day there was nothing that my palate found appealing with this smoke. IMO there are much nicer budget cigars on here within the same £3-5 price range. Still, it did have a fair bit of longevity in terms of smoking duration even though I ended up throwing away the last 3rd of it. And it burned pretty evenly too. So there's that, at least.

On first impressions before lighting I didnt have particularly high expectations of this cigar - the wrapper was a bit loose/flaky but aside from a few bits that fell off initially it held its shape. No distinct fragrance when unlit but in terms of bang for your buck this is certainly good value. Took 40 minutes to smoke and despite it being marked as a strong cigar, as per another review, Id say is was more of a medium strength example. Light pepperiness and spiciness, respectable plumes of smoke and no ashtray taste left in your mouth that you can get with cigars in this price range. Youre rewarded in the last third with some slight chocolate notes. Held the ash well, only two sections fell during smoking and didnt need re-lighting, suggesting a decent construction. Steady smoke with no harshness and a solid choice for a budget cigar.
