Chinchalero Novillo Torpedo Cigar - 1 Single
by Stephen
This Cigar took a while to light but once it was lit it burned very well. The draw was very light and the flavours varied throughout. Overall, it had a slow burn and would highly recommend this cigar to anyone starting out.

I'm always amazed by non cubans - this is a brand I'd never heard of and wanted to give a go because of the large ring gauge.
On lighting up, the cigar smelt really nice - no burnt or charred flavours on the first few puffs. I did take it very slowly though, drawing maybe every minute 1/2 to get things going. As previous reviewers found the first 1/3 to be very bitter, yet I didn't have the same experience. Lots of smoke, felt nice and earthy/full.
About second half in, the creamy nuttyness came through - very smooth and delicious, didn't over puff which I think helps alot with cheaper cigars as they tend to be alittle rough imo. Still loads of smoke, very nice to hold in the mouth then slowly let out. The wrapper had a tiny flaw, wich caused small burn issue but mostly burned very evenly and didn't require many touch-ups.
Continuing into the last - I love this cigar!! It really was a pretty thing to remove the band and continue smoking - normally I stop just before the band - not with this one. The nutty and smooth flavour is excellent, I could see myself ejoying these on a

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single
by Graham
Good smell out of the packet - rich and chocolatey. Held about an inch and a quarter of ash before it dropped. Kept threatening to go out, but that could have been down to a number of self-imposed reasons; I poked (in the absence of a cutter) and smoked it in rather windy conditions. Initially I was getting little more than a general cigar aroma/taste, with heavy pepper, but about half way through, an oily cream taste came through. The band slid off easily when the time was right.
An enjoyable smoke.

Tried one of these last week, I was very impressed, better than many other cigars I have tried costing far more. Draw was excellent, pleasant but not overpowering flavour. The burn was quite uneven towards the end, however this did not spoil my enjoyment of this very nice smoke. Lasted around 40 minutes, the ash was distinctly white and held on for the first third of the cigar. In summary excellent value for money I have ordered more already.

Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single

OK,now i have smoked it and time has passed i feel i can review this...First off,the start is very bitter (for me) & harsh. For the first half i couldn't draw properly on it which became so frustrating,i had a lot of issues with it,was not an even burn for the first half as well and had to help it on its way. By the time i got halfway down it became lighter,more enjoyable but by the time i had finished it i felt sick,i had heartburn,my chest felt full,it was awful,i was considering buying another one of these as the second half got me interested but will avoid from now on...first time i have felt sick from any smoke...i bought this because of the reviews but maybe i just got a bad cigar. Rated 2 instead of 1 because of the small amount of joy i got for a few minutes.
