This cigar had a lot of nice tasting notes, the first third brought floral, light coffee and woody flavours. The second and last third gave smooth roasted nut/coffee flavours. I imagine this cigar would be great for an afternoon smoke. The reason I am only giving 3/5 as a score is the burn was very wonky and just wouldnt be corrected no matter what I did, which was a shame as one side seemed to want to burn a hell of a lot quicker than I wanted to smoke it.

As this was my first ever cigar this review might be pointless but nevertheless i shall give my opinion. I actually really liked this it was very gentle on the puff and didnt make me cough at all like at all even when i accidently inhaled the cigar it wasnt bad. Overall i think this cigar is perfect for newcomers as it is easy to smoke, its cheap and it lasts a good hour if you take your time like i did. Only thing that doesnt give it a 5 was the taste was very mild but i would definitely get another in the future for a treat.

Have to agree with Mark (see below). I too really enjoyed this, nice good easy draw, long lasting and I though quite smooth. Certainly added to my favourites listings!

Jose L Piedra Brevas Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
Outstanding cigar for the money! Confirms again, that Cuban cigars are the best in the world. I have tried top brands from Nicaragua, Dom Rep, and Honduras in my quest for cheaper cigars that deliver on taste and all New World cigars fall short of the mark perhaps with the exception of Arturo Fuenta.
I enjoyed this so much, I cant wait to try Jose L Piedras other sizes. RECOMMENDED - dont hesitate to buy.

Decided on a quick Sunday afternoon smoke and havent had one of these for a while. All I can say is that after 18 months in the humidor, they have only improved. I still believe that these are a real gem of a cigar and probably the best value Cuban on the market in the UK. Not what you would call complex, but smooth and creamy from start to finish and hold their ash so well its almost gravity defying! All in all a very pleasant experience, time to buy some more so my aged stock doesnt diminish!

Nicely packaged in tube. However quite a singular flavour and harsh, although burnt evenly and well constructed. The Chinchilero Maduro is a similar size and price, but, in my opinion a much more enjoyable cigar
