Great Cigar, burnt evenly and drew some nice levels of smoke. Great for an evenign smoke, some highly exotic flavours and good elvel of spice. Overall great Cigar. A safe bet to play.

Over half of the 5 pack of these I had over Xmas were quite honestly unsmoke-able with no draw whatsoever ........and tbh those that did eventually draw were a big disappointment with the outer wrapper falling apart and not much flavor, I shall not be buying these again.

The blue J Cortex were my first cigars and even after smoking some much higher quality and better tasting smokes I still go back to them for a cheap somewhat woody bitter but not overly bad smoke. The Honduran however, I found to be quite a horrible smoke.
I got plenty of smoke and the cigar was actually quite well constructed however the taste was horribly bitter. So much so that by the half way point I really was not enjoying the smoke. I'm told this is milder than the blue but it did not taste that way to me in the slightest. An even burn topped this off as the worst cigar I have purchased from this site, well not too my taste anyway.

J Cortez high class Honduran orange.
Aesthetics - pretty rough looking machine made cigar, patchy brown to tan wrapper with fairly untidy cap. Pre-punched so can be smoked straight away but punch hole is very small. Feels fairly spongy, neither too dry nor too moist, a lot like a guantanamera Cristales (which being a machine-made "utility smoke", I will compare it to quite a lot) in that respect
Light and first impressions - lit ok, took a little bit of nursing to really get going but I think the fact the "veiny" element of the wrapper gives it an uneven thickness is probably at least partially responsible for this. Not producing huge amounts of smoke but it's quite a small cigar I guess.
Quite a loose draw but the small diameter of the punched hole in the cap makes it a little firmer I think, were you to actually cut this cigar, you'd probably find yourself smoking it very quickly.
There's an unusual fizzing and pooping sound that comes with the draw too which I can't explain, almost sounds like fine rain hitting a fire, doesn't add or take away from the experience but i
