Just had my first smoke of one of these and LOVED IT. Just about to order some more of these little beauties. Lovely sweet honey taste on my lips through out, mild to medium strength, not harsh atall and burn really well. Will be recommended to friends.

Chinchalero Chicos Cigar - 1 Single
by Daniel
Good value for money, as well as good construction and draw. I had no issues with the burn so overall not a bad stick, although it is let down slightly by the harsh flavor. Worth a try if you are starting out.

Bought two of these after having mixed luck with the regular Novillo. Very pretty little cigar, feels well constructed in the hand.
Lit it up and things started to go downhill, very harsh tobacco taste with no discernible flavour and very uneven burn, agree with previous reviews, this is looking a bit like my girlfriend- in need of constant attention!
Started to redeem itself about ten minutes in, with spice/pepper and honey notes, the loose draw produced tonnes of smoke and the harshness backed off a bit.
I'll leave the other one to rest for a while and see if it improves with age, as when I've had a good Chinchalero they're fantastic value for money, but if only one out of three of them is enjoyable I may be better of spending thrice the amount per smoke on a third the number of cigars.

The blue J Cortex were my first cigars and even after smoking some much higher quality and better tasting smokes I still go back to them for a cheap somewhat woody bitter but not overly bad smoke. The Honduran however, I found to be quite a horrible smoke.
I got plenty of smoke and the cigar was actually quite well constructed however the taste was horribly bitter. So much so that by the half way point I really was not enjoying the smoke. I'm told this is milder than the blue but it did not taste that way to me in the slightest. An even burn topped this off as the worst cigar I have purchased from this site, well not too my taste anyway.

I know this is one of the cheapest cigars on here an probably not many people have tried this but as a newbie I'm trying everything to work out my favourites.
At first light this really tasted and smelled like a cigar but after a few puffs this settled into what it is. A cheap cigar, not greatly constructed but not the worst smoke ever. Similar to UK newsagent cigars but perhaps slightly better.
The taste was very woody but went well with some honey rum - it was the bitter after-taste that wasn't so good. Not the best obviously but also not the very worst.

Thought I'd give these a try as there are days when I fancy a puff but don't have time for my usual robusta. Have to say that I was pleasantly surprised! At first a little non-descript however the flavour improved as the smoke went on to become very earthy and woody. I imagine that I will get some more of these to keep handy for those time pressured moments when one really needs a puff to get you through.
