I ordered the Mitchellero Selection Sample, which comes with 7 of the most popular sizes, and this Mitchellero Chicos Cigar was one of them. All arrived well packed, each cigar in their plastic wrap, then all in an air-tight zip bag, with a small Boveda 69% 4g pack - very impressed! Now, I am pretty new to all this Cigar Aficionado, but I must say I like the smooth dark wrapper and strong cigar smell, and it burned well (unlike some other expensive cigars I tried) and had a nice smoke. It burned out twice on me, but it might have been me not puffing it often enough. For the price, I would say this is an all-around nice small cigar that lasted me for about 40 min. I like to smoke my cigars to the nub - after all, I paid for the whole cigar - and I know what some of you might say, but thats how I like it, and it didnt unwrap on me when I got there, as it happened with an R&J No. 1, but many I cut that one wrong. Though my pallet is not yet fully developed, and I cant say much about the dark chocolate and cedar notes, I did feel the rich spice in the last third and quite strong at the end. I am still to get through the other six cigars from the Selection Sample pack and will add my reviews on them, but I will probably buy a box of these at some point. Well done to the CGars Team!

I only bought one as had ordered a bundle of the Mitchellero Torcedores but fancied trying one of these tiddlers to see if it was a good as the rest of the range. Tasted very similar to its larger brothers but this particular example had a very tight draw. May well try a few more at some point as suspect it was an anomaly rather than the rule (aside from a few minor wrapper issues, IÂ’ve found most of the Mitchellero range very good for the price).
Despite the tight draw was still a very enjoyable 30 minutes or so and was smoked right to the nub which always says something, I think.
CanÂ’t really comment on any particular flavours as my pallette not very developed; my budget is fairly limited so canÂ’t compare to any high end stuff, but very nice nonetheless.

Great little cigar, holds up to the larger members of this range. Solid build, slow smooth smoke. Well worth the price, would highly recommend.

I must say I am really impressed. I do not smoke much however I love a nice flavoured and mellow cigar occasionally. This cigar just hits the spot, it is just perfect. I prefer this to the Monte Cristo and the Cohiba shorts. Wished I had ordered more of these instead. Just placing another order now.

For the price, it’s not bad. The wrapper is a nice colour. It’s a bit on the veiny side, but the taste is really decent for the price, it’s a budget cigar that doesn’t disappoint.
I got this in a Mitchellero sampler pack, and I wasn’t expecting much, but the flavour is the same as a 60 RG Novellini Mitchellero just in a small RG.
To be fair, my expectations were met and doubled.
The wrapper is thin, the texture was a little sponge my but it burned evenly and it the aroma was nice.
This could satisfy anyone on a budget and I’d recommend it over most other budget smaller RG cigars.
Ring gauges aren’t everything. This little fire cracker shows it.
