Chinchalero

[Dherm]

Hi guys, has anyone tried either the Chinchalero Novillo's or the Chinchalero Novillo Fuerte Maduro's? Ive been offered a box of each at very reasonable price and wondered if they were any cop. Any advice welcome fellas

[crusse]

I've had the Fuerte Maduros and thought they weren't too bad for the price. They're nowhere near as complex as Cubans but I used to think of them an ok smoke for when you're mowing the lawn, walking the dog, etc. But I went off them after having a few that tasted of petrol (yes, petrol! ) I haven't touched them since.

It seems you're always being offered a box of something at a very reasonable price - what's the secret?

Lol too many connections

It was definitely a shock! I'd had some ok ones before that and thought that it was a one off so I smoked another a few days later......and that tasted of petrol too! Then I stopped buying them.

Thats a biggun Mr Wilson! Im in two minds now whether to buy them or not. Would you have them again or is it a case of once is enough?

Reasonable enough to box split?

60 X 4 sounds like Nub size.

Yes when I run out will get some more
It's a bit of a mouth full And a bit one dimensional
But a good dog walking smoke
I will be up for a box split

I've had a couple of the maduro and quite liked them. Certainly liked them enough buy another box today.

They are quite a mouthful though, almost jaw achingly so but for that they cost are very pleasant.

And on that note Ive bought them. Will let you guys know as soon as I get them. Hopefully this weekend. Paid ?60 for both.(?30 each)

That a good price then
It's about 70 a box now I think
Happy smoking enjoy

I'm afraid I can't offer anything from experience but certainly the consensus of the reviews I've seen seems to be that they're a very passable,anytime "cheap & cheerful"
