While the J. Cortes High Class Sumatran Cigar showcases a visually appealing Sumatran wrapper, the overall smoking experience left something to be desired. The cedar notes were pleasant and the touch of spice added a welcomed twist, but the earthiness seemed somewhat overpowering and lacked the desired depth. Although the craftsmanship is evident, this cigar may not fully satisfy aficionados seeking a more nuanced and well-rounded flavor profile.

Really enjoyed this. Full, strong flavour from start to finish with a really decent construction. Loads of smoke and a near perfect burn. If you like a strong cigar, you cannot go wrong here at this price point. I picked up earthy and peppery tastes throughout but it wasnt too woody. For me it was spot on and remained consistent from start to finish.
I wouldnt hesitate to have a few more of these in the humidor, Im very impressed.

This is one of my go to cigars for quality and reliability. Nice size, smokes lovely with a nice minty/menthol taste, and woody notes. 5*

This is a very good quality and very good value cigar. It is a smooth and balanced cigar that lacks the last bit of complexity.
I am afraid that I am mostly using my review as a rant around the notion that “beginners” need a light cigar and then more sophisticated, more experienced smokers want something bigger, richer, stronger bla bla bla.
This is utterly ludicrous. Implicit in this is the notion that some big greasy dark cigar is more “advanced” or sophisticated or grown up than a Quai d’Orsay. Or by an analogy to wine, if you like a delicate Grand Cru Burgundy you are less advanced or sophisticated than someone who likes a Barossa Valley Shiraz. Rant over.

These werent too bad, lasted longer for me than what is advertised which is good, but i found them a little too bland for my tastes.

As the price suggests, definitely nothing special. Lacking flavour but smokes fine, I did enjoy 1 of them with a bear for 30mins. Probably wont buy again though.
