Chinchalero (Nicaraguan)

Overall the reviews seem good, and at 25 sticks (Esportivo 5x40) for around ?65 I'm very intrigued. For that price I'm considering buying a 25 box and hoping. I'm after them for a day-to-day, walk the dog smoke. Does anyone have any experience of them? And if so, is it a pleasurable one?

Hi Chris,

there have been a few discussions on these, see:

here and also here

Personally I feel they are somewhat unreliable, you can get some very nice sticks and some annoyingly bad ones. Still for the price I think the quality is fair enough.

That's what I was hoping. My wife asked me what I wanted for christmas...so I told her a box of 25 of them to go with the humidor I'm buying myself! Glad it wasn' a huge mistake

Oh, and sorry for not just searching myself :s

no worries I only new they were there because I stated one of the discussions myself... half of the time when I post something I wonder if it hasn't been said yet elsewhere before... and probably better!
