Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores Cigar - Bundle of 25

Well, I read Richard's review and would go along with his comments; JLP cigars can be a bit hit-and-miss, though, with Cgars returns policy, you can always go for a refund or replacement as I did (with the customary rapid response from Cgars - good customer care!). I've also found that, if you get a well-rolled batch, it's a pleasant smoke down to the end and extremely good value for the price. If you get a tight-rolled one (often up to 5-6 in a batch of 25), you can need a small industrial pump to draw, and need to clip the end a couple of times to prevent a build-up of tars. Having said all that, it's a nice cigar for a very, very reasonable price, and has been my choice of an everyday cigar for some time. It just about creeps into the 4 star range, due mainly to Cgars Rapid Response Team...

Nearly didn't buy these based on the last review, but all six that I bought were perfect. I'm on the hunt for a decent short smoke, and these fit the bill. I can understand Ash's comments though, as my experience with the full size Cazadores has not been so good.

Awful. Just plain awful. Lit this up in a room full of half a dozen other smokers, and had to let it go out as it stank to high heaven and was smoking up the place. Relit it a couple of days later and still found it to be nasty (it might as well have been soaked in motor oil), so i binned it. Had to throw away the tube i kept it in too, as no amount of Febreeze and washing would get rid of the disgusting smell it left. I wanted to try the Petit Cetros i bought before i made any brash review on this one, and found that to be just as bad. If by some freakish misfortune, i happened to end up with two extremely bad examples, i'm not sure. But i don't think i will be trying Jose L PIedra again.

One of the best in this brand I feel. Lots of different flavours and quite balanced. Had a bit of a kick in it though. I've found a lot of these have quite tight draws though, which is really unfortunate.

A bargain of an after-lunch cigar. I'm not normally a Cuban smoker (yes, I know it's blasphemy), preferring the milder Dominican end of things - but these are a far milder than usual experience, and the smaller format stops them being a Cuban-headache-inducer. They're not particularly sophisticated or complex, but at £3.50 a pop they're a good value everyday proposition.
