Bought these for my partner and this is a further review,
People should not underrate this beautiful well made cheapest Cuban cigar, having smoked 5 of these so far the wrapper and body have been firm throughout the smoke of over an hour and solid ash a sign of a good build, they are an easy drawing slow burning consistent quality cigar with subtle light to medium flavours and everyone that I have smoked found myself so relaxed and chilled out which is what a cigar is for, Ideal for the beginner or some one that likes light to medium flavours, Why go dizzy or feel sickly with expensive strong cigars when this one is cheap and cheerful and wont break the bank.
My partner is getting me a box of 25 for my birthday this month.
Like the sticker "My other car is a Porsche" this is an everyday quality Cuban cigar, save the RyL Churchill's for the weekend.

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.

Had a couple of these whilst on holiday in Cuba and decided to bring a few back as presents for non-cigar smokers as they cost around £2 each there. The tobacco is not the best but it is at least 100% Cuban, machine rolled so quite loose and inconsistent but relatively even burning if a little quick and stored in unsealed cheap plastic tubes and often not in humidores so often a little dried out. It's a good cheap souvenir cigar for the tourists who otherwise wouldn't bother. If a fiver is your budget then you are better off with a smaller but better quality cigar.

Guantanamera Cristales Cigar - 1 Single
by Nathan
Wasn't expecting too much from this smoke, which is fortunate because it didn't really give too much. Very loose, burning quite hot and tarry, especially in the second part, and required a lot of liquid refreshment to kill the lingering taste after every draw. Pulled easily enough, maybe a little too easily, but it's biggest downfall was the lack of anything decent on the flavour front. Probably a great smoke for a drunkard, but not for day to day appreciation. Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid!

Had this rather poor cigar tonight and even as a relative novice was distintly unimpressed by the flavour and the pull. It did burn fairly evenly and stayed lit but this was not much cosolation. Although it was cheap and my expectations where low I didn't think it would be this bad. I cannot see myself buying another and as for the price I would recommend buying a smaller but far superior Upmann junior corona for a few pence more. I would go for quality above quantity every time after this experience.
