Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single
by Daniel
Overall - pretty underwhelming. It lasted about 30 minutes, but the first two thirds were basically flavourless - just warm smoke.
There was a slight bit of taste in the final third, but it felt like it showed up too late and didn’t really deliver anything worth shouting about.
That said, the construction was spot on.
Burnt well all the way through, no touch ups needed, and stayed lit when I put it down whilst pottering in the garden.
It gave off a decent bit of smoke too, which at least made it feel like you were smoking something. The aroma was pleasant.
I was outdoors on a sunny spring day, doing a bit of gardening, which is usually a nice setting for a smoke. But even then, it didn’t do much for me.
Just a bit forgettable overall.

Ok so I got two of these my friend had one and his was fine, I maybe just got a bad one, unfortunately the draw was impossible to work with was so tight, I had to poke holes in it with a cocktail stick to open it up, when it did draw it was grey feet creamy nice cigar but mine was so tight I ended up taking more off the cap which then had the wrapper unwrapping, overall it was a bit fi a disappointment and I wouldn’t risk buying again, my friend said it was good however and his did seem to look and burn fine, luck of the draw

Quite different to the last one I had. Maybe because it had been in the humidor for a few months, or maybe the previous one was a duff. A vast improvement. Good body, creamy smoke and very enjoyable. Far from the best cigar I've ever had, but excellent value for one and I was guaranteed another like this, I'd happily buy more.

Very well made, burnt smoothly and evenly with good firm ash throughout. Smoked for 49 minutes. The taste was slightly disappointing, a little harsh and dry. Mouthfeel was dry, no creaminess or leather notes. Fair for the price, but not one I'll hurry back to.

My first new world cigar. I was a little suspicious. Wow. A revelation. Drew beautifully, burned consistently, lovely round flavours, a really rewarding smoke. Looking forward to the Vintage version.

Mmm...not convinced. The example I had was too tightly rolled, the flavours didn't seem to come through and I was left underwhelmed. I might have been in the wrong mood to appreciate it properly.
