Smoked another one of my Guantanamera Cristales on the decking of the Lewinnick Lodge pub Pentire Headland Newquay overlooking the Atlantic ocean and Fistral Beach, It was again sheer bliss easy draw, lovely mild to medium taste, no burning issues stayed lit to the end what more could you ask, marries well with a glass or two of sweet Madeira wine which adds to the taste, lovely cigar to chill out on a lovely Sunny day and one of the most popular cigars sold in the tobacconist in Newquay.

This is my husbands review
Well just smoked another one of my Guantanamera Cristales and amazingly it lasted 2 hours to 1 inch from the band never went out and was smooth tasting to the very end any uneven burning issues were dealt with by simply rotating the cigar so that the unburnt wrapper was at the top and serious issues by tilting the lit end down at 45 degrees and rotating the cigar so that the wrapper is at the top and just letting the cigar catch it's self up, don't use a lighter to do this or this will impair flavour, draw slowly like an hamster puffing it's cheeks up and about every 30 mins purge the the cigar of any unwanted tastes by slowly blowing through it so to sum up
A 2 hour smooth Cuban cigar for less than a fiver.
A cigar is for smoking not wrapper looking so don't pre-judge

Further in my quest to better the status of this lovely cigar My wife bought me a box of Guantanamera Cristales for my birthday this week I sat on our patio and lit one of these cigars at 2:30pm using the simple hold the flame near the end and rotate the cigar clockwise it lit strait away I used to use the toasting method but in my opinion this is a waste of time and butane the quicker the cigar is lit and burning even the better, the cigar burnt slowly with a good easy draw the taste is a lovely light to medium tobacco flavor, solid ash to over an inch it never went out in the hour and a half relaxing smoke letting die out gracefully at 4pm when it's cold simply put the butt back into the plastic tube and dispose of without odour in your bins
The true colours of this cigar is in the smoking not the looking and the stereotype attitude that all machine made cigars are rubbish is rubbish so a 5 7/8" Cuban cigar for less than a fiver, try one if you don't like not much loss but if you do like then start saving loads of money compared to £10, £12, £15 cigars

Bought these cigars for my partner and this is his review.
These are an excellent cigar for the beginner or some one that prefers a mild to medium smoke they are well made and my first one lasted an hour and twenty minutes Sat outside the Central Bar in Newquay time compatible with a RyJ Churchill and at a quarter of the price They make you feel very relaxed slow burning,solid ash (a sign of a good build) A cigar you can smoke on a regular basis without breaking the bank, save the beautiful Romeo y Juliete Churchill for that special occasion, Try one for around £5 you carnt go wrong and it's still all Cuban.
