Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single
by David
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.

Nothing special until half way through,all sorts of flavours came through after that,worth the money for a try but probably wouldn't buy many more

C.Gars Ltd Smokers Mints - Bag of 25
by Victor
Not actually bought these, just going off the ones I've had free with orders. My 5 year old daughter loves these, only had a slight taste my self and they seem good. Despite her age she is a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to mints.
If you sold these without the cgar wrapper I'd buy some (probably have social services around if I gave her cigar mints).

Chinchalero Chicos Cigar - 1 Single
by Victor
Too me these are a strange cigar. I originally bought one as I wasn't sure which chinchalero my local tobacconist used to sell before they stopped selling them, I only ever knew them as chinchaleros (turned out to be the perlas).
I enjoyed the sample one I bought so bought a box of 25. Had the first of these straight after I opened my delivery as I was short of time and I instantly disliked the taste and threw it away. 10 mins later as I left the house I noticed the after taste was very nice, hard to describe but almost like unflavoured vegetable baby food I used to make my daughter.
Had one today after Sunday lunch in the gap between desert and it was much nicer and the right size, same taste just more appropriate time. Doubt I'll buy again but will smoke what I have left. Probably worth leaving in the humidor for a while, maybe the usual taste is due to them been a little moist

Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single
by Victor
I've been smoking these for a while, in fact only started shopping on cgars as my nearest tobacconist stopped stocking them. I've never had a bad one of these apart 2 or 3 plugged ones and I've easily had over 250. The taste can vary between batches but I've always enjoyed them.

My first two purchases were the Xikar Hygrometer Rectangular version. On both of these Xikar hygrometers the tolerance is 2% either way whereas the Caliber IV is 1%. Both Xikars were not within specification using the Boveda Hygrometer Test kit. Bought a Caliber and popped it into the bag and within 24 hours it is reading bang on 75%, as it should. Both Xikars are being returned for the Caliber IV. Fantastic hygrometer with easy to read Relative Humidity (RH) and Temperature and on top of that you can alter the device if it does start to drift. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Go for one of these. You won't be disappointed!
