Chinchalero Culebra - 3 Cigars Twist
by Jason
I bought a box of these and was impressed with the rustic vibe of them. The tobacco leaf stems binding the 3 cigars together, and the tobacco leaf packaging were a nice touch and right up my street - I dont do posh !!
I found them to be a nice tasting smoke, and I admit that I had some reservations as to how the shape of them would affect their burn, however, I neednt have worried though as they all burnt fairly slowly and evenly.
I found it interesting when reading about these cigars. Im almost certain that Culebra means Snake in Spanish, and from what I read, these cigars are deliberately made in this fashion because they were given to the tobacco farmers / cigar makers, some of who would sometimes help themselves to the cigars meant for exporting. By giving the workers the twisted Culebras, the bosses etc of the cigar farms could identify anybody who was smoking any cigars that they shouldnt be.
All in all, I liked them and would recommend them to anybody and I would also buy them again.

Initially harsh and bitter but soon settled down. The first third was like no other cigar I have smoked and had hints of Cuba about it. The second third was like a Montecristo Puritos at full tilt - quite strong. Final third was the usual spice at the end of most cigars. The draw was easy and the burn good. At this price point its an OK cigar but for me its just too brash and I probably wouldnt buy another one.

Im very new to cigar smoking so I am sampling lots of different varietys at the moment but I have to say I am very disappointed with the quality of this one I am buying 2 at a time when I decide on a cigar to try so to give it a fair chance both of these split down the binder and the wrapper straight after lihghting which resulted in a uneven but and a very hard draw I know these arent a top quality premium cigar but I expected better unfortunately after about half way through each one I have up on them.

Having smoked and enjoyed one or two of this brands Robusto, I bought a bundle of twenty five. A goodly number of them, more than ten were, so badly constructed as to be totally impossible to smoke. They were packed with stalks and something odd that looked like a pale, squashed snake. I told C.Gars about them, realising it was not their fault but asking if they would pass my complaint to the manufacturer. That must have fallen down a deep well because I heard nothing about these cigars. If these are going to be as badly made in the future, I would never, ever buy any again.

Great taste. I had issues with uneven burning throughout and the experience was lessened a bit having to constantly maintain it. Other than that a great value cigar and Ill definitely be ordering again.
