One of the best in this brand I feel. Lots of different flavours and quite balanced. Had a bit of a kick in it though. I've found a lot of these have quite tight draws though, which is really unfortunate.

A little too bland, but consistent all the way down. Mine seemed to go out continually as well. Not too bad though, didnt leave any offensive tastes in my mouth afterwards

Not bad! But not great either. The roll was a bit soft about an inch from the cap, not good. On lighting though it burnt evenly but due to the softness of the roll smoked very quickly. i expected it to take about 45 mins but i was done after 25! It started off very mellow for the first half but did develop some flavour in the 2nd half. There was no bitterness and towards the end some faint vanillery leather notes did come through. It's ok for a quick daytime smoke, and it's still way better than non cubans but i was a bit disappointed. Shame really as i like the nacionales. i'll probably get a few more though as it has an inoffensive aroma to the non smokers in the household!

What a joy! These little cigars are sublime. Just had one with my morning cuppa, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Started off quite mild, but as it went along the flavours developed and by the end had some punch to it. Excellent burn and draw. They ain't cheap, but well worth it! Now do i buy a box?

This cigar was a real let down for me. The first few draws were very nice with lots of pleasent flavours. After that it became very woody and harsh. After the halfway point it became pleasent again for about 1/2 an inch and then switched back to being harsh. When it got down to 2 to 2 and a half inches alot of heat began transferring in the draw.
Perhaps as suggested in another review below its a mixed bag as to whether you get a good one or bad one
Had the flavour carried through the whole thing I could have forgiven the heat but the flavour was just so uneven and rough at times. Perhaps it'll benifit with some aging but I'd be hesitent to buy more than 1 or 2 until I knew for sure age would improve them or I knew it wasnt hit and miss as to whether you get a good one.

A bargain of an after-lunch cigar. I'm not normally a Cuban smoker (yes, I know it's blasphemy), preferring the milder Dominican end of things - but these are a far milder than usual experience, and the smaller format stops them being a Cuban-headache-inducer. They're not particularly sophisticated or complex, but at £3.50 a pop they're a good value everyday proposition.
