I bought a box of these at the beginning of winter and Ive now only one left. The burn and construction on each one Ive smoked has been first class, the ash staying on for the whole length of the cigar in most cases. If I have a criticism it is that the draw was maybe a little too free on a few of them but, then again, thats better than having one thats completely plugged. Flavours are a personal thing so I wont dwell very long here. All I can say is that Ive certainly had worse and paid more. Lasted an average of about 25 minutes. All in all a very good cigar and one Id certainly consider buying again.

Nice cigar. Well built, even draw. Dry flavours of toast and spices with a slight creamy, lactic finish. Medium body and lasted about 40mins whilst out on a walk

You know what for the money these arent bad at all. They fit into my timeframe nicely and whilst not the most ground-breaking in flavours the ones that are present are easy going and sweet. I picked up hints of vanilla and then more tangy citrus notes by the end. Pre light draw backed this up. No bitterness or spice so im pleased.
Burn was even , ash held great. Only downer for me is the pre drilled end. Not a fan so i cut but thats personal preference.
For the money give em a go. Would make for a great summer sunshine lunch time smoke where you have half hour or so.
An easy four out of five. For a nice easy going smoke.

Jose L Piedra Brevas Cigar - Pack of 5
by Dominic
I have bought these exact cigars 3 times over the years and whilst they aren't often the best rolled of the Jose L Piedra range I feel the need to write an accurate review of them. Some of those produced aren't rolled correctly (sometimes to tightly, but not overly) but overall I find it crazy that ANY large gauge and large length size smoker hasn't at least given these a go. Iv been smoking Cubans and non Cubans REGULARLY for 15 years and I honestly believe you wont find better bang for your buck than the Jose L Piedra range. I'm not going to name the other high end Cubans I believe this is better than... However, you should really give these a go as although you may get a single bad one out of every 50 that the other 49 would honestly warrant double their price tag.

Jose L Piedra Cazadores Cigars - Pack of 5
by Dominic
Iv smoked many Cubans and non Cubans for 15 years now and I always find myself coming back to these. The flavours and enjoyment you get from these are up there with the best of them in my opinion. Originally I was put off by the price thinking "How can a Cuban be this cheap with that ring gauge and length and be any good?"... But after I tried them my mindset completely changed. These Cubans are on par if not better than alot of the medium to strong Cubans on the market in my opinion. The flavour is a lovely earthy taste and hints of spice towards the later third of the cigar. I must have smoked these on and off for the past 7-8 years and still cant understand as to why these are so cheap. I highly recommend giving these a go and believe you wont be able to find a better Cuban for the price.

As someone who has smoked MANY Cubans over the years I can honestly say that there isnt better value for money than the Jose L Piedra range. These have a wonderful earthy flavour and always find myself ordering these again throughout the years. I mainly smoke these whilst driving due to the shorter length but if you want a similar cigar that will last longer then I advise the Cazadores range that Jose L Piedra provide.
