I bought a bundle of Jose L. Piedra cigars a few years ago when I was very new to cigars, and liked them. So, I was looking forward to these - but they were very disappointing.
The flavours were very mild, though I knew they would be so I have no problems there. The problem was the draw - I would estimate well over half the cigars were bunged so tight that I could barely smoke them. The analogy of sucking a golf ball through a straw comes to mind. They also burned quite unevenly, though I expect that was the result of me over-puffing to try and get any smoke out of the damn things.
When I persevered, they got better around the last third, and the flavours - though light and mild - were pleasant enough. But I got so brassed off with the draw issues, I binned a few of them early on (which is unusual for me, as I am a bit of a skinflint and usually try and get my moneys worth).
Maybe I had a dud box - but personally for this price point, I would now go for a blue Inka Secret Blend instead of these. Being Cuban clearly isnt everything.

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.

This had a little taste of bitter spices and also an even burn. However the draw was very restricted but once got past the halfway mark it become easier to draw. Lasted a goof 40 minutes. This was a tester for me and will most probably buy again hopefully the draw will be better in another one. Tha draw was only reason I dropped stars.

Was pleasantly surprised by this, full of flavour and was excellent in all manners, despite the wrapper looking rather ragged at first, this burnt well and did not peel. Definitely one of my top favourite cigars and I would certainly recommend to anyone who comes across this.
