Quintero Petit Quintero Cigar - 1 Single

Truly delicious with lovely hints of pepper and spice towards the finish, great draw with plumes of thick smoke.

This came as part of a selection and initially seemed a bit dry yet spongy. After three weeks in the humidor I tried it this mid morning with a coffee on a pleasantly sunny breezy October Sunday. It is quite loosely wrapped and on cutting the wrapper flaked a little- not a good start I thought but it pleasantly surprised me. It lit easily, burned evenly and was not surprisingly an easy draw due to it being loosely rolled. Despite the breeze the ash stayed on until half way. I like a mild aromatic cigar in the morning and this was up to the mark. On my palate it was a little chocolatey and then mildly peppery as it progressed. I put it out before the last quarter as it was beginning to become a little bitter. It burned rapidly so only lasted the time took me to drink two medium size mugs of coffee. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and wouldn’t turn one down if it was offered to me. Would I buy more ? While I can afford an Upman, probably not but don’t let that put you off trying one.

Pleasant medium smoke Good even burn I’m glad i’ve got a couple more of these to smoke BUY BUY BUY

Lovely cigar and stockingly good value. Mild and flavorsome, I will certainly be buying again. Not a complex cigar but at this size and price is certainly punching above its weight.
