I have just tried one of these and completely blown away at the quality, draw and nicely blended tobacco taste. Does not leave a bitter taste in ones mouth(literally and figuratively). I have just added this to my favourite habanos collection.

There are a lot of reviews about this cigar, but I thought that I would chuck my hat in the ring and offer an opinion. This particular cigar was one that rekindled my love affair with cigars. I have smoked a few of these in my time, and generally other than an odd tight draw which really does grind my gears, this cigar has been a benchmark for me.
This particular cigar was tbh, lacking of that signature whiff that just makes me go weak at the knees. I am not sure how long this has sat for, and do not claim to be an aficionado, I just wished that it had more punch. Maybe I was having an off day?
The wrap was good, and after a slight toast she fired up. The burn was even, clean, and consistent other than a bit of dark ash at the beginning of the first 3rd, she settled down nice. As for taste the first 3rd was quite uneventful tbh. I was waiting for the flavour but it only started developing when I hit the halfway mark.
Body was bordering on full with this one, and she is strong. But did not give me that chill that some cheaper alternatives have gave me lately. Which is inte

JANUARY SALE - Ritmeester Royal Dutch Half Corona Cigar - 5 Packs of 5 Cigars (25) Bundle Deal
by Nicholas
Cant understand the unanimously positive - all five-star - reviews of the 5 packs of 5 version of this product. Ive tried two out of the five (in my packet of five) and they were both horrid! Now, I get that this reviewing business is entirely subjective, and that these cigars are as cheap as chips, but no! Horrid, just horrid.

Fantastic Cigar, distinctive creamy mild flavour, even burn and low maintenance highly recommended.

Delicious flavour. Complex enough to be interesting but not off-putting to a newbie. Excellent burn. Barely any ashy or peppery flavours until right near the end.

Jose L Piedra Brevas Cigar - 1 Single
by Jeremy
This was the last of a budget Cuban sampler which I enjoyed today with a couple of cups of Grumpy Mule Honduran Coffee, after a mornings graft in the garden. When it arrived it was a little dry, so left it in the humidor for four weeks and it was just right despite the wrapper appearing dry. The wrapper is veiny and it has a rustic look to it. I clipped it before I remembered it had a short filler, this resulted in it being a little flaky initially; might have been better if I hadpierced it with a match stick. It is too small to use a punch.
It lit easily and burned very evenly. There was plenty of creamy smoke. The first ash fell after approx third of the smoke on a windy day. Two more ash drops for the entire length. The draw was very easy and consistent throughout.
On my palate this was a mild to medium and I was very pleasantly surprised at the overall taste and quality of the smoke. I enjoyed it enough to smoke it right out without any temptation to stub it out early. The taste was consistent apart from the last inch when it started to taste just a little hot and too peppery
