Chinchalero Novillo Cigar - 1 Single
by Jamie
I'm always amazed by non cubans - this is a brand I'd never heard of and wanted to give a go because of the large ring gauge.
On lighting up, the cigar smelt really nice - no burnt or charred flavours on the first few puffs. I did take it very slowly though, drawing maybe every minute 1/2 to get things going. As previous reviewers found the first 1/3 to be very bitter, yet I didn't have the same experience. Lots of smoke, felt nice and earthy/full.
About second half in, the creamy nuttyness came through - very smooth and delicious, didn't over puff which I think helps alot with cheaper cigars as they tend to be alittle rough imo. Still loads of smoke, very nice to hold in the mouth then slowly let out. The wrapper had a tiny flaw, wich caused small burn issue but mostly burned very evenly and didn't require many touch-ups.
Continuing into the last - I love this cigar!! It really was a pretty thing to remove the band and continue smoking - normally I stop just before the band - not with this one. The nutty and smooth flavour is excellent, I could see myself ejoying these on a

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single
by Graham
Good smell out of the packet - rich and chocolatey. Held about an inch and a quarter of ash before it dropped. Kept threatening to go out, but that could have been down to a number of self-imposed reasons; I poked (in the absence of a cutter) and smoked it in rather windy conditions. Initially I was getting little more than a general cigar aroma/taste, with heavy pepper, but about half way through, an oily cream taste came through. The band slid off easily when the time was right.
An enjoyable smoke.

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single
by Christian
Tried one of these last week, I was very impressed, better than many other cigars I have tried costing far more. Draw was excellent, pleasant but not overpowering flavour. The burn was quite uneven towards the end, however this did not spoil my enjoyment of this very nice smoke. Lasted around 40 minutes, the ash was distinctly white and held on for the first third of the cigar. In summary excellent value for money I have ordered more already.

Yet another great smoke from H.Upmann, I have had a few now and they have been consistent to say the least. This was probably my favourite, with losts of smoke and a dramaticly tasty finish. A great excuse to sit outside on a mild autumn evening and listen to the owls hunting.

A great cigar, by far the best I've smoked over the past few months. The draw was effortless, taste was nice and light to begin with, although the last 2/3rds brought wonderfully deep flavours. I have another from this brand and I am hoping for more of the same! I would rate 6/5, I enjoyed it that much!
