Quintero Panetela Cigar - Box of 25

Date Added: Saturday 09 July, 2022 by Mark

These are top notch budget Cubans. Wonderful aroma, decent amount of smoke and great flavour in a well-constructed stick offering 30 minutes of enjoyment. I teamed mine with a generous portion of Diplomatico rum, and the sweetness of that worked so well with the earthy, peppery flavours of this cigar. Fantastic value, will be stocking up!!

Had three of these so far: two were far too tightly packed and had to go in the bin but one was lovely. I have a few more but not holding out much hope that they will all be smokable. I keep trying to find a quick smoke - Hoyo Du Maire, RDM Demi Tasse, RJ Petit Julietas etc. but keep being disappointed by inconsistent draw and poor construction. Bigger is definitely better!

A low cost medium filler Cuban cigar. Mild and sweet. Great for a quick coffee break. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador

This came in a selection of cigars from around the world some months back so has been sleeping in my humidor. I prefer a smoke of around an hour thus favour cigars around the Montecristo size but with the winter months approaching they tend to be a little too long with the last minutes being spent thinking “I’m getting cold now”. I’ve tried smaller, a Maduro but for me it was too small and reminded me of why I gave up smoking cigarettes, well one reason anyway. I found this Quintero to be ideal. It’s substantial enough in size, both length and gauge to sit in between the two. Not dissimilar in taste to a Montecristo in my view, medium strength. Clipped well and the ash formed a good solid inch before dropping. Even burn and relaxed draw. I spun this out for a good forty five minutes in the garage with a beer whilst admiring the motorbikes. This could have been shortened to thirty minutes if you so desired. Overall rating is very pleasant and one I’d be happy to stock in my humidor.

These cigars are a great entry into the world of cigars, mine had a nice even burn throughout the 30/40 minutes it took me to smoke the cigar, the aroma from the burn was pleasant although that is not a sting point of mine. The taste on the other hand was great now I'm no expert so I'm not going to start rambling on about the 1st 3rd and so on however I got a bit of a sweet creamy taste, however as I smoked this after a meal I suspect this could have been caused by a mixture of the smoke/drink and meal itself. Overall if you are entering the world of cigars I would recommend this as a sampler pack. If you are an smoker looking for a reasonably priced cigar then I would say don't expect it to blow you away but definitelygive it a try.

Really nice typical cuban flavour. Grassy and light. Slightly tight draw but perfectly smokeable. Will buy again
