J. Cortes High Class Honduran Cigar - Orange - 1 Single

For the price you can't really go wrong on this cigar. I have smoked cigars triple or more in price and not as good. Earth, wood and black tea with a touch of spice I got from this cigar. For me it was an enjoyable 45 minute smoke as it comes pre cut so no faffing around with a straight burn line and no touch ups needed.

This cigar was surprisingly good for a budget cigar. I paired it with a smoked coffee and they complimented each other brilliantly. It was a smooth draw, even burn with lots of smoke (which i love). The retro hale gives a lovely white pepper taste and a mild but nice creamy finish in the mouth. Its not a complex cigar as it shouldnt be for ?7 and machine rolled. Lasted 50 mins and left me feeling relaxed and calm. This is the only budget brand i have found that i enjoy. I usually smoke ?15-25 pound cigars but honestly i will buy more of these just as a cheap mid week smoke.

Wasnt the best quality, but it is a cheap cigar at the end of the day. Lights up easily enough but seemed to burn unevenly. Around a 30 minute smoke. Started off pretty bitter tasting but once it got down to around half way it changed to a more mellow flavour. There ok for the price but I probably wouldnt buy them again

So I bought this cigar the other day purely out of impulse, I’d popped down to the local cigar specialist and bought a few cigars and had a few pounds left over so took a completely blind shot on one of these!! When I got home I came straight onto CGars to see if there was any reviews on this cigar and needless to say was pretty disappointed when the reviews were all pretty negative!! However I tried this cigar today in the garden after work and I honestly thought this was a solid cigar, sure it’s nothing that you would go out your way to be running back to the cigar store to get another one straight away but all in all it lit well, burnt even, had a lot of smoke, nice draw and had a nice taste to it so I found it an enjoyable smoke!! I would honestly say it depends what your used to smoking, if your usual cigar is a £20-£30 Cuban then it probably won’t be for you, but if your more in the £5-£10 range then honestly it’s a good cigar for a very good price

A good but cheap cigar, good burn and very nice overall flavour. Exelent for a night out with your freinds and lasted a good 20 mins
