Cigar Chief Nicaraguan Puro
This Cigar leads with floral notes followed by mature wood and finishes with light spices. Overall a very well rounded, balanced and easy smoking Nicaraguan Puro making it the perfect smoke for any occasion.

You cannot go wrong with these. Really good draw. Nice smoke. Great burn. Mild. Hand rolled product of Nicaragua. Cigar Chief picked a good cigar to carry their name. I’m definitely buying these again. You also cannot beat the price.

I was hesitant at first when I saw these but said to myself “There’s no way the chief would put his name on a cigar that isn’t good.” The reality is, they’re good. The first 1/8th” is a bit harsh – the first 3 puffs or so. But from there to the nub it is smooth, cedar, light earth, slight vegetable like green pepper. It’s got a smooth mouthfeel and is medium to light bodied and a great cigar.

Just received my cigars this past week and have tried to smoke a couple. They are a poor smoking cigar. I have tried 5 cigars and not one burned well, first one the wrapped cracked so badly that it was not smokable the other 4 tunneled and regardless of how many times I cut it to try to save it I could not. It seems like the outer filler is burn proof. If your not continuously drawing on it it goes out? My other box of Brick House smoked beautifully.

I can’t state strongly enough how badly these cigars smoke. I am 17 cigars into a box of 25 and not one decent smoke. These cigars just burn right up the middle(tunnel). Just tried one and it would just go out unless continuously drawing on it and this just runs the cigar. A definite don’t buy.
I have a box of Brickhouse i bought at the same time and they smoke great.

Beautifully constructed and easy smoking high quality Cigar.
Love the mid weight Nicaraguan Tobacco. Incredible value if not the best value at the Cigar Chief

Ok cigar for the price. I’ve smoked a few from the bundle .only complaints are the wrapper seems to fall apart half way through. The draw is average as well. Have to keep lighting in to continue to smoke

Really impressed with the quality for the price. Nice draw, good medium taste. I bought a bundle and I will buy again for sure !

I enjoyed the one I bought; Mild taste and good draw. The biggest problem that a few others mentioned is that the burn is very uneven, and it canoed several times even with relighting. You can probably find something better for a similar price; I won’t buy one again for that reason.

Found these cigars great for just an everyday smoke. A couple did burn slightly uneven but nothing that bothered me as much as some others have stated. Great draw in my opinion, a really great cigar to share with friends that are newer and less experienced in cigars. Ordering more asap.

This cigar really surprised me. Probably the best discount priced cigar i have ever had. The first few puffs were harsh but after that it was very smooth all the way thru. The flavor consisted of earthy cedar with a peppery finish. Out of a bundle of 5 one did split in half and for that i knock off one star. With that being said i tip my hat to Cigar Chief for this excellent cigar and look forward to keeping stock of these in my humidor.

Caveat, I am smoking these Cigar Chief branded cigars after they have been aging in my humidor for over 1 year. I purchased a bundle of 25 Cigar Chief robustos back in 2021. The markings on the band say “Granada” and “Nicaragua”. These might not be the same ones sold today.
I tried smoking one of them when they first arrived, and was disappointed. The draw was good, but they tunneled and didn’t smoke properly. The taste was only so-so. Therefore I relegated them to the bottom of my humidor, thinking that they would be my emergency smokes, in case I had nothing else.
Well, on a whim, I recently decided to try one, after 1 year of aging, and I can say that these smokes are pretty damn good. The burn is excellent, on par with any name brand cigar, and the taste is also very good.
I am giving a 5 star rating, provided that these cigars be aged before smoking. I think that if you let them rest for a year or so, these cigars are on par with many name brand smokes, and for the price are hard to beat.

Didn’t have any burn issues. Stored at 65%RH for 2 weeks, dry boxed for 24 hours. Wonderful burn, nice ash, good smoke. Mild flavors of wood, slight spice and a nice toastiness. Wouldn’t buy an entire box, but a couple to round out an order works fine.
