Chinchalero Torpeditos Cigar - Box of 25

Date Added: Friday 17 April, 2009 by Nathan

Now, this came as one hell of a surprise given the low price tag, but only based on other, bad 'cheap' experiences. Don't be fooled by the low cost Chinchalero, it's a pleasant and remarkably flavoursome smoke. Admittedly it's a long way off from any true Cuban, but as a stand alone it is more than capable of holding its own. Lasted around 40 minutes, during which I had hints of floral, light earth, and tea. Managed to take it down pretty much to the nub and behaved impeccably, with no lip burn and minimal bitterness. Makes a pleasant post meal, midweek lighter smoke, delivers all you could ask from a stick in this price range, and earns itself a place in my humidor as a definite 'why not?'

I bought five singles of these, two have been very pleasant but unfortunately the draw on the other three has been so tight it made smoking them was a disappointment. The two good one’s were very nice –mild and spicy, I’m undecided as to whether or not I will be buying these again due to their inconsistency.

Belting value... I ordered a couple of these to try, not expecting too much. I'm impressed. A mild, smooth smoke that draws very well. Lasted for about 30-45 minutes and only got a bit hot in the last inch. Not a "strong cuban style" but more like a mild cigar that's not too bitter. I'll be ordering some more of these!
