Charatan Panatella Cigar - 1 Single
by steve
This is described as 'full flavoured' and yes it was full of subtle (and no harsh) flavour, a very nice smooth smoke that lasted 60 minutes. The ash held well dropping around every 15mins. The burn was fairly consistent, with a couple of adjustments needed throughout the smoke. Will definitely consider these again on a future order. Have given it a 5 as it is very good for the price.

Cohiba Siglo I Cigar - 1 Single
by Matthew
Somewhat disappointed with this cigar. I had built it up a little I suppose based on the price and brand name. A moderately tight draw just south of unsmokable.
No real taste to speak of although it improved very slightly in the second half. Weak pallid smoke and and uneven, lopsided burn. Pairing with Thatchers Summer Haze cider helped a little and a swig after each draw seemed to help out. Way overpriced for the experience but I'm sure I'll try something else from Cohiba in the near future.

Chinchalero Chicos Cigar - Box of 25
by David
I bought 25 of these based on the reviews I read. I have smoked 4 so far and I am sad to say that I am very disappointed. In each case the draw has been extremely tight and it was very difficult to keep them lit. This was despite the rather "spongy" construction. They also burn extremely hot which leads to a somewhat acrid taste. At just over £2 each they should represent good value, but they are very poor compared to the likes of, say, a Henri Wintermann half corona. I will not buy them again.

Not bad for £5. 30-40 min smoke. would buy it again.

Charatan Petit Corona Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Jonathon
Bought on a whim, usually go for Monte Cristo's or similar and was not disappointed! As said before me, a nice strong taste throughout with an excellent flavour. Well made, with a solid feel and an ash which stayed in place for almost half the cigar (kept out of interest as it didn't fall).
I typically buy singles but will be placing an order for a 10 box soon. Definitely one to try! In my opinion, beats a lot of more expensive cigars.

I bought a box of these thought they were good value everyday smokes, a pleasant stick, smoke is thin,a bit one dimensional with an slight earthy tobacco taste, nice clean burn line, no pepper or spice, suits me fine,faintly sweet on the Finnish, warms up to a nutty cream, good construction ash held on an inch a time, I like these would buy more.
