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.

What an excellent little cigar ! I am still finding my feet with this cigar smoking lark so am trying differant brands . Read the reviews about this so thought I would give them a go . Experts will tell you it's got hints of this and hints of that , all I know it has nice smooth taste a nice easy draw and a lovely creamy smoke , if you are a beginner like me you can't go wrong with this ( the price is a bonus !!) They are that good I have just ordered 10 more , can't wait to get my hands on them !

For the price,the quality is fantastic!,far better than hamlet,villiger,wintermans etc,beautiful woody spicy peppery kick from start to finish,however they do burn a little hot on the back of the tongue after about 2/3 of the way down but saying that most slender smokes do
