Cigarillo: Mehari's Sweet Orient (3/10)

Time for another cigarillo review... don't worry, we will be reviewing some proper cigars in due course- namely, once we each get paid... for proper cigars are a bit more expensive.

The Mehari Sweet Orient by Agio, a Sri Lankan manufacturer, is an acceptable smoke, neither amazing, but nor was it disappointing. We found the Meharis produce a light and mild smoke, with a hint of rose. They were sweet, but not overtly so, but as a result of their medium-loose pack of short filler (which is standard in cigarillos) they produced a fairly hot smoke beginning about half-way through the length. The Mehari Sweet Orients are worth a try, but they are certainly not the best cigarillos in the world. A pack of ten will cost you around £5 either online, or in a tobacconist. Of course, we recommend buying from a tobacconist when possible, in order to support local business.
