Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single
by Danny
End of the day and I feel like smoking a stick, why not this one?
Taste: Typical woody flavour you get from Chinchalero, no suprises. Stays on the palate for a while.
Smoke: Very small amount of smoke, increases closer to the end. Pretty disappointing.
Overall: Not worth it's price tag, for me. Other people seem to think differently so maybe I got a dud. 2* POOR.

I'm very much a Cuban cigar smoker but keen to explore non-Cubans. To this end, I ordered 10 of these little fat chaps and was amazed at the quality of the smoke. Cool, cocoa/chocolate taste, slow, even burn and a 60 minute smoke - for the price extremely good value. I find myself going back to the few I have left and will most certainly be ordering more. I was initially apprehensive of a 60g cigar but, using my larger V cutter, the experience was far beyond expectations.

Chinchalero Chicos Cigar - 1 Single
by Danny
Just finished off my dinner and decided to have a few glasses of Kraken rum. I also felt the urge to light up another one of my sticks I just got in the post this morning. This was my choice for a 15-20 minute experience and I was quite suprised as to what I discovered. Excuse my typing, I'm a little tipsy.
Taste:
Started off pretty predictable. Mild-Medium woody flavour, little bitter but quite enjoyable. As I got closer to the center I started getting a small hint of fruits which lasted all the way to the very end although it got spicier as I went along. Leaves a nice presence on the palate for a good 30 minutes or so.
Smoke/Body:
Pretty weak, not so much smoke but I go for taste over this.
Overall: For this price, it's hard to go wrong. I recommend this to all of you smokers out there that enjoy a nice tangy, spicy, quick smoke.
3* Overall. PLEASANT!

My order just arrived this morning, and I have the day off work so I thought I might as well try one of my new sticks.
Taste:
Very tangy, great taste of wood and funnily enough, oats... A strange one, I know. Other than that the obvious nicotine/tobacco flavour is all I could pick up. Leaves it's mark on your palate for a good 30 minutes or so afterwards which is always nice.
Smoke:
Mild-Medium, in my opinion. You can get a decent draw out of it and the smoke is really easy to create smoke rings with. Nothing like Gandalf's ships but still a good bit of fun.
Body:
Full bodied, nothing more to say really.
Overall:
Quite a nice suprise, as I was expecting something alot worse due to the pretty low cost. I recommend this for a short 15 minute break at work, or just something to walk around town with to enjoy a quick smoke.
3* overall. PLEASANT!

I bought this on the offchance of finding a cigar with that little bit extra , and got one of the best tasting cubans I've had so far .It is a great buy , the band came off easily with not wrap break or unwinding , easy to light and draw excellant mild taste of cinnemon throughout , stuck in the holder halfway down and smoked down to the stub outstanding quality.

Quite a sweet and sticky start to this cigar, mainly due to the wrapper and what I thought were deep licorice notes became more licorice root and then settled into a rich woodsy flavour. A good pale ash, but couldn't sustain more than an inch before collapsing. The woody notes continued throughout the cigar to provide a satisfyingly consistent smoke. The overall dark, woody taste is well complimented by a drop, or two, of good whisky.
