Chinchalero Perla Cigar - Box of 25

I bought a couple of these based on the reviews. I wanted a slim, quick cigars for when cigars are not welcome and one has to speed one in. I was hoping to find an alternative to the Arturo Fuente Exquisito I bought in the states, but can't find here. Have to say that you get what you pay for. I found this cigar very second rate. No depth, maturity or complexity. i.e. no fun. Very disappointing in my books. My opinion only.

A very well structured and slow burning cigar. The first few draws tasted too strong, however afterwards it tasted of fine mild and earthly flavours. Excellent Value and a nice evening smoke. A.Rodriguez

I personally think that Chinchaleros are so underrated, but that's fine because they're so inexpensive. Great cigar, lasted almost an hour and had a perfectly even burn most of the way through. The draw was slightly tight, but good enough. One thing i've noticed with Chinchaleros in general is that once they're down to less than about an inch and a half, they become increasingly difficult to keep alight. Some nutters stop about there anyway, but i like to get as much as i can out of a cigar. Overall, great cigar...Awesome for the price. I would still prefer the Chinchalero Chicos.

Beatiful cigar, consistent flavour. Little hot towards the end but for the price I aint compainin!

At the old price, this was a steal. At the new price, it is still a great value cigar. There is some variation in quality from cigar to cigar, but at this price I guess you have to expect it. I have tried lots of different cigars in the 4 -10 pounds range from this site and I keep coming back to this cheaper version for all round enjoyment and value. This cigar is well wrapped, clean and tasty. It is like a good Southern Rhone Valley wine: it is unlikely to make you want to go and wake up the wife to get her to share in the experience like you would with a good claret, but if you want a midweek evening smoke with a glass of scotch, or want something to help you focus at the poker table, this is the cigar for you. It can taste a little green at times and can burn a little hot, but it is two and a half quid. You want excellence, you pay more. You want a good smoke? Then you could do a lot worse than this.
