Simply delightful for the money, excellent smoke and no complaints! If you want an inexpensive short Cuban fix, look no further, may not be overly complex in flavour but has a lovely draw and a smoothness to the end!

A great smoke and if you're someone who likes maduros this is for you! A complex array of flavours changing with each third you smoke, very good smoke output, just below the 'chewy smoke' level up of smoke. Good construction and burn was razor sharp, about 45-60 minute smoke, just excellent.

Oliva Orchant Seleccion Skinny Cigar - 1 Single
by Jonathan
I ordered up various selection packs to restock the humidor after a cigar hiatus of a couple of years, included in which was this little beauty. After resting for a couple of days in the humidor I poured myself a generous measure of a Bruichladdich virgin cask edition and settled down in the garden for a little relaxation. First impressions were good, the construction was excellent and the cigar just looked good. It cut well and lit easily. I always found cigars to be as subjective as whisky when reviewing, but for what it is worth this is my tuppence worth......
Initially the cold draw I found to be quite astringent, warming quickly to dry toast and well worn leather as the first third progressed, once it warmed and progressed through the second third it mellowed dramatically, transitioning to a beautiful rich tobacco flavour underlayed with honeyed melon or pineapple, coffee and the barest hint of a pleasant spice (perhaps a little white pepper?). The final third remained very mild and gentle with a gradual increase in the overall spice. Overall the experience was incredibly mor

I was given these as a gift and they are a thing of beauty. Truly excellent and worth every penny.

An excellent and good value every day cigar. Well made with a good burn and mellow flavour, Not to be rushed though - a good 30 minutes needed to enjoy.

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.
