Bought 3 of these as well as 3 of the 'Honey' flavoured wrapper blend and the construction, burn and ash on these cigars were solid also, but still a lack of flavour taste of vanilla from these cigars, the aroma of the vanila was a bit more enjoyable and noticeable than with the 'Honey' flavour and so I enjoyed these that little bit more.
Value wise they are a stick worth trying, but as with 'Honey' flavour blend the price is a bit higher than the level of taste, aroma and overall enjoyment I got from these cigars and I think the Leon Jimenes brand can definitely improve on these cigars alot more, but still are an ok stick for morning coffee or someone who enjoys a milder short smoke.
Overall rating 3/5

Bought a 3 of these cigars to try and although construction, burn and ash on these cigars is good, they are seriously lacking in real flavour and aroma.
ALthough the wrapper leaves have been flavoured to some degree, I think the Lleon Jimenes flavoured blend needs a bit more time and effort put into their attempts with a flavoured or 'infused' cigar.
ok cigar to try, but definitely not worth £4.79 per stick... I've had much more enjoyment from a Chinchalero Picadillos for much less money and much more flavour, aroma and smoking time for the money.
Overall rating is 2/5

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - Box of 24
by michael
Tried one of these today and what a let down, for starters the ring gauge is too big for the length of the cigar which may account for the bitterness you can taste almost from the start, ok its cheap but no taste at all, bought 24 of these and cant wait finish them, think the even better priced perlas are a safer bet for a one or two a day smoke, wont buy these again.

I'll keep it short and sweet. If you like smoking the Upmann magnum 46 & 50, you should try this. Its a very smooth sweet tasting cigar. It has a thick creamy taste with dark chocolate snf coffee taste. The amount of smoke it produces is similar to its siblings. The only negative issue I found was that the burn was not even but saying that, ig built I would say 2.5 inches of ash before falling off. I've still got another one and will see of that has uneven burn or whether it was that specific cigar that had the burn issue. In conclusion, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

WOW, really enjoyed this one, (if you read my review on the Sancho Belicosos you probably said , "theres no pleaseing this guy" ) well this one is now going to be one of my regulars.
Excellent flavor, lightly spicy(not overbearing,would say its a light side medium), definately some cocoa and expresso hints in here that made it a pleasure to taste, and was never to rough through out the whole smoke (down to the nub)medium spicyness on finish.
Burn was nice and even and at a good pace, aroma is a tad stronger but pleasing. Smoke production was PERFECT!
If you want a 35-45 minute smoke that you want some flavor but don't want you eyes bugging out when you finish. Its good with literally anything from bottled water to a fine burgundy or Scotch. (mine was with a plain coffee and was great, second one was with a glass of ice water and lemon....again great) then definately worth buying a couple to try.

Flavor:Mild,
Burn: average to good, slower than normal
Draw: Poor to low, rather hard
Notes: mild vanilla,just a hint of a nutmeg finish but mainly light cocoa, no citrus at all unfortunatly,would need a strong drink to even think of buying this one again(Talisker maybe?) was not consistent with prior Sancho's I've had, thus the disappointing review.
