Been saving this. Took it to a wedding smoked something else. Took it to Amsterdam get away and didnt smoke it. Now I am smoking it and it was worth the wait, coffee, chocolate rich wood flavour and aroma. Build is good wrapper very dark and enticing. Pre light draw was wood and earth, cut perfect, burnt well went slightly sideways at a 3rd down but rectified easily. Band was cool but a bit homemade looking . Dark, deep and tasty. Wierd fuel taste on the draw when out but not in a bad way. Definitely check this one out for the price it was a very good stick.

Enjoying this tasty little number right now, 50 mins in and only approaching the final 3rd! For the price this is an excellent smoke and the width makes it a real novelty. Sweet, earthy and floral notes with aftertastes of chocolate, nuts and citrus. I find Chinchalero hit and miss. The torpeditos are terrible, poor construction and undeveloped flavour, the corona cigar with 2 different wrappers, forget the name, is however very enjoyable. But this one is by far the best. Really pleasant Nicaraguan flavours with solid construction and even burn. You can’t go wrong with this one, handmade cigars in the fiver bracket are hard to come by. Pick one up today!

Im new to Cigar smoking and thought Id experiment smoking different cigars. I bought 2 of these and was hugely disappointed. I know it is not a top end Cigar by no stretch of the imagination, but I thought for the Money spent it would at least light properly and stay lit. The wrapper unravelled on both almost immediately. Then there was the draw, I spent that much time trying to get a draw from it that eventually it just tasted sour, the cigar was wrapped so tightly. You live and learn and maybe its my inexperience that is an issue. I bought some Guantanemera Crystales for half the price and they smoked really well and were nice and mild for a beginner, produced nice smoke and never unravelled.

Having bough a few more of these, I can only sum this cigar up in one word - inconsistent.
Some cigars are really nice, some are revolting. Some burn evenly, some dont. Some are really hot and harsh, some arent.
In summary, youre either getting one of the nicest cigars youll ever smoke (especially for the price), or one of the worst cigars youll ever smoke.

Bought this a while back and let it sit in the humidor for about 6 months. Maybe this helped but honestly I couldn’t see the issues that the other reviewers have had! For under £5 it’s not a bad stick, I think there are far superior sticks for the money I.e Quorum shade grown series. Taste wise it was about a 4 or 5 certainly wasn’t unpleasant but again like other cigars at this price point suffered from being a bit of a meh experience. I’d say it’s a nice cigar to enjoy when walking the dog or mowing the lawn but other than that I think you could do a lot better for your cash!
4/10

Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro - 1 Single
by William
So much better than the normal Novillo. People massively overrate the normal Novillo, I bought a single of each to test them both and the other one was dreadful. Thankfully, this one was much better. I didn’t have any problem with the draw or burn, like others have stated, but for £5 seriously if one in ten is rubbish, what does it matter!? I paired mine with a large Laphroaig and a couple of Aldi caramel wackos, it was heaven!
