Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
I enjoyed this cigar very much. I am very new to cigars but after trying some smaller cigarillos first I found this to be far superiour and quite mild which I enjoyed. It lasted a good amount of time for me as I don't often have alot of free time to enjoy but it wasn't over too quickly. I'd certainly recommend it for the price. What to try next is my only problem!

Partagas Shorts Cigar - 1 Single

I like strong flavoured cigars, & I absolutely loved this little fella! A full-on powerful smoke from start to the 40 minute finish, fantastic!

This cigar wasn't quite my cup of tea - but that's just personal preference. I found it to be grassy at the start, then it developed some liquorice flavours through the mid-section, before finishing with a slightly disappointing earthiness. Unfortunately, liquorice doesn't rank amongst those flavours which I like, but I suppose plenty do. The construction was excellent - clean and even burn, plenty of smoke and a solid ash. For the price, if you like the flavour profile, you really can't go wrong.

Easy draw, medium to strong flavours of spice, herbs and peanuts. Mild smoke. Lasted well. A good smoke.

Had a couple of these whilst on holiday in Cuba and decided to bring a few back as presents for non-cigar smokers as they cost around £2 each there. The tobacco is not the best but it is at least 100% Cuban, machine rolled so quite loose and inconsistent but relatively even burning if a little quick and stored in unsealed cheap plastic tubes and often not in humidores so often a little dried out. It's a good cheap souvenir cigar for the tourists who otherwise wouldn't bother. If a fiver is your budget then you are better off with a smaller but better quality cigar.

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.
