Chinchalero Chicos Cigar - Box of 25
by Ronald
Bought one of these Chicos and a La Invicta Panatella with the idea that, having smoked them both i would then decide which bundle of 25 to purchase. I went for the Chicos as i found the La Invicta a little harsh, and although slightly more expensive i thought it 'smoked' cheaper. The Chico and La Invicta both smoked for app 45 minutes, ash held slightly better on the Chico. If you want a 45 minute break from the world go for the Chicos.

Cohiba Coronas Especiales Cigar - 1 Single
by Alistair
Castro's favourite and I can see why. Although the draw feels tight the burn is even and its light yet creamy smoke plentiful enough for you to get over this. As far as flavour goes, this cigar exibits the typical Cohiba spice but with a much sweeter chocolate note than in any other Cohiba I've tried. Earthy coffee flavours become prominent after the first 1/3 (following the chocolate 'topping' its like the cappucinno of cigars!). I'd love to be able to say that this is a perfect every day smoke, however at £16 a stick, I'm not that flush... still, this will go down as a firm favourite (hopefully the one I've left in the humidor will be even better).

Bought one of these a few weeks ago, just to try it, I was not let down, firmly rolled, but not tight, easy to cut, witha good clean finish, lit evenly with some ease, the draw was even the hole length, with a light mellow flavour, that intensified towards the last 1.5 inches, it did enravel slightly towards the end, hence 4 out of 5, but never the less a great smoke, and I will be sending for more, be sure of that.

This is my first humidor, so I don't speak from experience! I am, however, meticulous in my research and spent a lot of time looking at various comments on various humidors to see what was right for me, and this came out on top.
I don't smoke a huge amount. Maybe 1 or two a month (if that), but obviously cigars don't take this into account - so I get myself a humidor after a particularly generous friend gave me several nice Cubans for my birthday.
The first thing that drew me to this was the burl. I love burls and this is a really nice one. It's darker than in the picture (a good thing) but has the same textured look and is very attractive. It has a nice felt bottom and sits on my desk rather nicely.
I was a little concerned about the analogue hygrometer (I've heard they're less reliable) so upgraded to the digital, which seems to be good. I was also a little worried that the humidifier hung down too far (it looks like that in the picture) but rest assured it doesn't. There's a good amount of space in there and the lay-out is nice.

I agree the Minutos arn\'t very pleasant but the Cristales are a cheap starter Cuban cigar very mild and tasty never harsh or bitter and even burning ideal to practice cigar lighting and cutting even though these are also machine made and already cut, these are a very relaxing cigar for a good hour of smoking. When you are ready to move on to better things i highly recommend PUNCH cigars they are very high quality, well built, lovely taste which is not overpowering and a very pleasant cigar aroma, Hand Rolled in various sizes and prices, the cedar lined tubed Petit Coronations 4 5/8\" x 40 rg right up to THE ORIGINAL CHURCHILL size from c.gars.
