Quintero Tubulares Tubed Cigar - Pack of 3

Date Added: Thursday 20 February, 2020 by Chris

Pros: Flavour profile was smooth with no harshness or bitterness despite the cigars being young (2019 EMS label), very pleasing aromas from the foot smoke. Is very affordable for a tubed Cuban cigar, always great to have a tube handy if you dont want to carry around a portable cigar case/pouch while youre out and about.

Cons: Noticed immediately that the cigar was packed rock-solid from cap to foot and after lighting my fear was confirmed: It was like trying to suck liquid cement through a paper straw. What little smoke I managed to draw was quite thin and when the draw did not improve after the first third I abandoned it.

Between Quintero and Jose L. Piedra, JLP definitely offers the superior budget Cuban cigar in my personal experience. My advice would be that if you find Cuban cigars stretching your budget, smoke less often but when you do smoke, treat yourself to a premium cigar.
