Generally a nice cigar, above average smoke that lasted about an hour. Draw on the one I had was a bit tight, however it was well constructed and burned evenly.
Cigar started off mild, then got spicy and peppery at the mid point. Last third the spice become muted, and some sweetness came through with honey and floral notes developing on the palate.
I would have given this 3 & half stars, but rounded it down to 3, because I'm not keen on the spice/peppery notes.

Found this Cohiba very strong and spicey! Very good for its price and brand. Couldnt relax with it and kept me on my toes, if you like a strong one then this is for you!Got a siglo 2 and a maduro 5 in the humidor so looking forward to them. If you want a strong short smoke, this is the one!

Jose L Piedra Cazadores Cigar - 1 Single
by Benedetto
Time to eat some humble pie.
While on holiday on the Island of Kos at the start of this month, I visited a well stocked tobbaconist to supplement the 'holiday' supply I'd bought from CGars. 5 Siglo 1's and a few others were chosen. Then I saw the Piedra Cazadores at €4 each. I decided to buy one for a smoke as I had a coffee nearby. After my al fresco herf, I went back and bought 10 more and every one (I'm smoking the last one as I write) has been perfect!
I was clearly unlucky the last time, and I feel I was a little hasty to judge. After all, if the quality control is not as stringent, some bad 'uns will slip through the net.
I, like so many others, have had bad examples of more expensive well known brands. So, basing this on individual experiences, they get 5 stars. When they're good, they're bloody good!

Fantastic little cigar. One of firsts and still one of my favourites. Good draw, good contruction and good burn very consistent. Rather mellow and always leaves me wanting more!

This is the first Cohiba I have had above the Club size and have to say for such a small cigar they are like Dr Who's Tardis small on the outside but wow what flavor creamy fruity beautifully smooth, the draw was excellent and a lovely aroma a great looking small cigar with the iconic Cohiba band a very pleasant 30 to 40 minutes smoke will determinately be buying more of these and paying that little bit extra to get a tubos one just to get the beautiful tube.
