Not to my taste; I much prefer a Chinchalero Chico.

Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single
by David
At the old price, this was a steal. At the new price, it is still a great value cigar. There is some variation in quality from cigar to cigar, but at this price I guess you have to expect it. I have tried lots of different cigars in the 4 -10 pounds range from this site and I keep coming back to this cheaper version for all round enjoyment and value. This cigar is well wrapped, clean and tasty. It is like a good Southern Rhone Valley wine: it is unlikely to make you want to go and wake up the wife to get her to share in the experience like you would with a good claret, but if you want a midweek evening smoke with a glass of scotch, or want something to help you focus at the poker table, this is the cigar for you. It can taste a little green at times and can burn a little hot, but it is two and a half quid. You want excellence, you pay more. You want a good smoke? Then you could do a lot worse than this.

Date Added: Saturday 29 May, 2010
I read somewhere that the Behike was the ''most expensive cigar in the world'' That they probably are. Are they worth it? In my limited Cigar experience/knowledge yes absolutely just in the same way a bottle of Dom Perignon is. Yes there will be plenty of season smokers out there that say there are cheaper alternatives that bring just as much pleasure. However right from the point of picking one of these cigars out of the box I knew I was embarking on something a bit special...the construction feels and looks perfect... Normally I do not care to much for the first part of the cigar but this had me from the very start. Normally I chose a longer cigar and was concerned that the 54 might not give me enough but due to its thicker guage there was at least an hour in this. First notes that hit you are the strong complexity of the bigger cohiba's but then you quickly realise there is far more subtlty and smoothness in the Behike. Consistent draw throughout, perfectly straight ash. A combination of hazelnuts and soft leather with that cologne like finsish. Would I smoke a behike everyday no.

Chinchalero Chicos Cigar - 1 Single
by christian
i was very impressed in the quality of construction in such a cheap cigar.just the right size for myself and the right density to get a good draw.however the blending was not to my taste as they are an extremely sharp and spicy number.all in all they are good value if they are to your taste but it is definatly an aqquired one.

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - Box of 24
by Douglas
Considering the price of this cigar, I've really feel it deserves a full 5 stars. Despite being a student until recently I was a bit of a Cuban snob, but mainly due to my poor wallet I decided to foray into the Nicaraguan smokes. I'm glad I did. This cigar swings way above it's weight class in terms of price. Nice consistent draw across the whole box and a razor sharp burn that would put many Cubans to shame. Definitely benefit from a few months in the humi! If you're looking for a Cuban substitute in times of 'hardship' you could do alot worse.

A very nice cigar especially at this price, great build quality & a lovely even burn. The only thing I would say that differs from the other reviews is that I thought it was quite a strong flavoured cigar, especially halfway through, but then I'm probably a lightweight!!
