Had one of these just last night, and to be honest it wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. To me the quality reflects the price, as it was a rather quick smoke, maybe around 15/20 minutes at a push. If you're looking for a cigar that'll impress you, look elsewhere, but I'd recommend this as a first cigar. Draw to me was effortless, not too much smoke.

When the tin is opened the aroma reminded me of some fruit cake my nan would make every time we would visit, raisins and dried out apricots... Anyway this tobacco delivers exactly what it is, pure, natural, sweetened Virginia taste. It's easy to enjoy and a very earthy smoke.

Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single

A bit tricky to get going at the start, but once established it evened out nicely and made for a surprisingly long consistent smoke. Similar in many ways to the smaller Chicos cigar, I'd buy these again, for more longer, more contemplative moments. Really good value.

This is a good average cigar. Decent size at around an hours smoke. Unlike its younger brothers I would say this definitely has a more medium body - it starts off quite mild but a reasonably strong pepper taste soon kicks in. Worth a try for sure.

As you open the tin, both excited and nervous for this flake you are greeted by the whiff of whiskey, and a good whiff at that. It took a while to light but when lit it's worth the effort that got you there. At first it is smokey, peaty and has a slight pepper taste but it passes quickly as it smooths out into the virginia flake it is, accompanied by the single malt whiskey flavouring you desire. It is amazingly unique and unlike anything else. A definite recommendation.

Appearance; A close cut flake, very easy to break down in the hand resulting in a nice flake, easy to place in the pipe.
Aroma; [before smoking] = pleasantly nutty. Smoking is as follows;
A very deep and extremely pleasant taste from the mature Burley tobacco, with a hint of nuts, sweet after tastes and a hint of faint background spice. Cool and slow burning, if correctly packed into a briar pipe. [Note; if packed too tight, it will not burn smoothly, resulting in clinkers, however, if packed correctly, will burn to a white ash]
Strength; Medium to strong [dependent on the experience of the smoker]
Overall impression; An excellent Pipe Tobacco showing the best of the tobacco blenders art. Recommended for experienced Pipe Smokers only.
