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!

Cohiba Club Cigarillos - Pack of 10
by James
Wow! What a great little treat this was. I am a fairly new, novice smoker, and sometimes feel that the larger Cuban cigars are too much to handle at the moment - this club cigarillo, however, does just the trick as you get the Cuban experience you wouldn't ordinarily get with other small cigars. I have taken 4 from the pack so far, and each time have found an array of wonderful flavours. To begin with, I got a sweet syrup-like taste with a spicy finish. The spice remained as the sweet taste developed into a soft bread-like taste in the middle. The back-end got stronger, with the sweetness completely fading, instead replaced by a peppery spice. When I had finished my last draw, I was hit with a hint of liquorice at the end, which was a nice surprise. Gives a great, aromatic smoke output, and lasts approx 15 minutes. Great, medium body which gets stronger towards the end.

Not too bad for the money, a nutty chewy smoke and at the same time very cool(but it is a large ring cigar)solid effort
