Guantanamera Puritos Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Friday 15 July, 2016 by Sam

Picked a few of these up recently to make a comparison between a few budget and a few slightly up market cigars. From a relative newbie, this was an enjoyable smoke. Very little complexity but plenty smooth. Bitter at times but very enjoyable on the whole. Is the 20ish minute smoke time suitable? Definitely. It's a little bland to spend much more than that. I enjoyed mine moments ago with a late morning coffee.

The build quality is questionable; mine had started unravelling at the pre-cut. I bought two and upon checking the second, it looks of far better build. Perhaps I just got a shabby one!

If you're a beginner, this is a great start. However, I also purchased a Clubmaster Tubed Panatella - vanilla in the same order. For the extra quid or so, that had a fantastic build, tubed and wrapped and in my humble opinion, was even smoother. No, it's not Cuban but who cares at this price point?

If you can stretch to the above Clubmaster, do so. If not, this is worthy of the price.
