Just an amazing cigar - I was originally after a Partagas Serie E No.2 and when they were out of stock i was recommended the Wide Churchill by Romeo y Julieta.
Having never previously gotten on with RyJ's I was very dubious but the sales clerk was adamant I would enjoy it as it was similar to what I was originally after.
Having trusted this guy before on other recommendations I bit the bullet and bought one of these.
WOW, just wow. The flavours were subtle yet full and complex. The condition of the cigar was perfect, it lit easily with a match and stayed reasonably even till just over the halfway mark where I think I forgot to pay attention to the burn as I was enjoying it so much.
The ash was almost white, similar to what you get of the Hoyo de Monterrey's .
needless to say I was very upset when it finished.
This is def going to be part of my new stpale, maybe even more so than the Serie E

Chinchalero Perla Cigar - 1 Single
by Danny
End of the day and I feel like smoking a stick, why not this one?
Taste: Typical woody flavour you get from Chinchalero, no suprises. Stays on the palate for a while.
Smoke: Very small amount of smoke, increases closer to the end. Pretty disappointing.
Overall: Not worth it's price tag, for me. Other people seem to think differently so maybe I got a dud. 2* POOR.

I'm very much a Cuban cigar smoker but keen to explore non-Cubans. To this end, I ordered 10 of these little fat chaps and was amazed at the quality of the smoke. Cool, cocoa/chocolate taste, slow, even burn and a 60 minute smoke - for the price extremely good value. I find myself going back to the few I have left and will most certainly be ordering more. I was initially apprehensive of a 60g cigar but, using my larger V cutter, the experience was far beyond expectations.

Chinchalero Chicos Cigar - 1 Single
by Danny
Just finished off my dinner and decided to have a few glasses of Kraken rum. I also felt the urge to light up another one of my sticks I just got in the post this morning. This was my choice for a 15-20 minute experience and I was quite suprised as to what I discovered. Excuse my typing, I'm a little tipsy.
Taste:
Started off pretty predictable. Mild-Medium woody flavour, little bitter but quite enjoyable. As I got closer to the center I started getting a small hint of fruits which lasted all the way to the very end although it got spicier as I went along. Leaves a nice presence on the palate for a good 30 minutes or so.
Smoke/Body:
Pretty weak, not so much smoke but I go for taste over this.
Overall: For this price, it's hard to go wrong. I recommend this to all of you smokers out there that enjoy a nice tangy, spicy, quick smoke.
3* Overall. PLEASANT!

My order just arrived this morning, and I have the day off work so I thought I might as well try one of my new sticks.
Taste:
Very tangy, great taste of wood and funnily enough, oats... A strange one, I know. Other than that the obvious nicotine/tobacco flavour is all I could pick up. Leaves it's mark on your palate for a good 30 minutes or so afterwards which is always nice.
Smoke:
Mild-Medium, in my opinion. You can get a decent draw out of it and the smoke is really easy to create smoke rings with. Nothing like Gandalf's ships but still a good bit of fun.
Body:
Full bodied, nothing more to say really.
Overall:
Quite a nice suprise, as I was expecting something alot worse due to the pretty low cost. I recommend this for a short 15 minute break at work, or just something to walk around town with to enjoy a quick smoke.
3* overall. PLEASANT!
