I love this cigar, it was my very first. it burns perfectly, its the queen of retrohealing, you can smell freshly cut meadow grass, bilberry and watercress. it tastes earthy and slightly sweet. the smoke is rich and smooth. an amazing experience, It will always be in my humidor.

Comes tubed and pre cut,
Good draw and the construction was good.
Not much in the way of flavour and was a little bitter for my pallet, but an excellent price for the size of the cigar if suitable to your pallet.
Paired nicely with a black coffee.
Smoke time 45 - 50 mins
I would smoke again but not something I would personally be stocking up on.

Without doubt the worse cigar I have ever had in my life. And just so you know Im coming up to 60 years old and I have had a few cigars over the years. Not at all possible to smoke this cigar because of the extremely poor draw. Wasnt able to smoke a fraction of the first third of this cigar. Had to throw it away ! The manufacturers of this cigar should hang their heads in shame along with C Gars for having the bare faced cheek to offer this for sale. At £20 this is not a cheap cigar and at the very least you would expect to be able to smoke the thing. But that was not at all possible. I cant even comment on the flavours as I couldnt smoke the thing. I am absolutely disgusted with the whole experience and would advise this company to give up the cigar making thing and look at something they could be more suited to. I would also advise C Gars to stop selling these cigars immediately. I honestly feel I have been robbed of £20. Its pointless complaining as the most I could expect is 10p off my next order. That wouldnt really compensate for the loss of £20. Absolutely vile and disgusting

Wasnt the best quality, but it is a cheap cigar at the end of the day. Lights up easily enough but seemed to burn unevenly. Around a 30 minute smoke. Started off pretty bitter tasting but once it got down to around half way it changed to a more mellow flavour. There ok for the price but I probably wouldnt buy them again

Highly recommended as a beginner cigar to share with a first timer. It is mild in strength, lights easily, burns evenly without needing to be relighted once put down and a very good draw. The draw is a particular stand out. It’s not so tight that a first timer would lose interest but not so easy you draw in lots of smoke. Only giving 4 stars as the flavour doesn’t truly develop until the last quarter at which point the wrap gets slightly flakey.

I bought a bundle of Jose L. Piedra cigars a few years ago when I was very new to cigars, and liked them. So, I was looking forward to these - but they were very disappointing.
The flavours were very mild, though I knew they would be so I have no problems there. The problem was the draw - I would estimate well over half the cigars were bunged so tight that I could barely smoke them. The analogy of sucking a golf ball through a straw comes to mind. They also burned quite unevenly, though I expect that was the result of me over-puffing to try and get any smoke out of the damn things.
When I persevered, they got better around the last third, and the flavours - though light and mild - were pleasant enough. But I got so brassed off with the draw issues, I binned a few of them early on (which is unusual for me, as I am a bit of a skinflint and usually try and get my moneys worth).
Maybe I had a dud box - but personally for this price point, I would now go for a blue Inka Secret Blend instead of these. Being Cuban clearly isnt everything.
