Jose L Piedra Brevas Cigar - Pack of 5

Not recommended. Kept going out. No flavour. Seemed poor quality.

Really unimpressed with this cigar, yes it's build is good, the draw I'd excellent but there's nothing too them. May aswell be drawing through a straw. I've only had a couple so maybe I'm being unfair, but the last 1/3 was the only decent part of the smoke. I would highly recommend you don't smoke this cigar and buy a La Invicta Robusto for less money instead. Because atleast that has a bit of kick to it.

A decent smoke from the get-go; smoke filled with a peppery, woodsy flavor. Notes of pepper plant, spice, and oak wood power this little stick. Though not the best ash you'll find on a cigar, and most definitely not a memorable smoke, stocking up on a few is recommended, especially if you need cheap sticks for quick fixes.

Cheap, well at first i though so but. A box of 5 so for the money very good but 3 out of the five did not burn right and tasted horrible, afterword i felt as if i had been in a burning building my throat hurt and i had a horrible taste in my mouth. The other 2 were alright but 2 alright cigars for £25.00 aint cheap. I,ll but better quality in fiture, i,m a beginner. I hope future foray's into cuban cigars are more pleasurable. But maybe i'm just very unlucky.

It's been a while since I left my original review of this type and brand of cigar. Since my last post I have 'indulged' in more expensive brands such as Montecristo, Punch, and Romeo Y Julieta. So what's new? Well for a start, the RYJ made me physically throw up! Not a great smoke at all. As for the Punch and Monte, they were ok, but nothing special. I've had several more Piedra's (both Nacionales and Cazadores) and these kick the arse of the above 'premium' brands. They're cheap (too cheap perhaps for a Cuban?) and certainly a lot more than cheerful. In my humble opinion they deserve much more kudos than they currently get. A great smoke from start to finish, though they certainly do benefit from a few months in a humidor/humijar (but what cigar doesn't?). I'm going to order these again- and so will you once you've given them a go!! They're the Cuban worker's cigar of choice, and those guys can't be wrong. Roll on Jose L Piedra, your cigars rock- cheers!! written by Roon, UK
