Jose L Piedra Brevas Cigar - 1 Single
by Jeremy
This was the last of a budget Cuban sampler which I enjoyed today with a couple of cups of Grumpy Mule Honduran Coffee, after a mornings graft in the garden. When it arrived it was a little dry, so left it in the humidor for four weeks and it was just right despite the wrapper appearing dry. The wrapper is veiny and it has a rustic look to it. I clipped it before I remembered it had a short filler, this resulted in it being a little flaky initially; might have been better if I hadpierced it with a match stick. It is too small to use a punch.
It lit easily and burned very evenly. There was plenty of creamy smoke. The first ash fell after approx third of the smoke on a windy day. Two more ash drops for the entire length. The draw was very easy and consistent throughout.
On my palate this was a mild to medium and I was very pleasantly surprised at the overall taste and quality of the smoke. I enjoyed it enough to smoke it right out without any temptation to stub it out early. The taste was consistent apart from the last inch when it started to taste just a little hot and too peppery

Not much to say that hasnt already been said by previous reviewers. A great little cigar that richly deserves five star ratings.

This is a very good budget cuban cigar, especially for UK prices with that said, I bought a bundle of these value cigars in Cuba. Ive just returned and smoked my first tonight. Theyre a little more rough looking than the top brands. A little bumpy and showing a few veins. However the proof is in the smoking..... It burned evenly and produced plenty of satisfying smoke. Id say meduim in flavour and the draw was perfect. The bundle I bought was priced at 30 CUCs which in todays conversion costs around £25. A perfect everyday cigar, ideal for a 50 minute to an hour smoke. Hey, Its cuban tobacco so buy one, light up and enjoy! Highly recommended

Had one of these in the lounge at Liverpool this morning, recommended by David who was very helpful
. Delightful smoke, good draw and even burn. Chocolate and spice with a hint of fruit was perfect with a strong latte.
As soon as I had finished my smoke, went back to the humidor to buy a handful to take home with me and having another on the sunbed on the patio at home right now....this is how all Saturdays afternoons should be.

I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar. Well constructed and a nice even burn.
My mint tea certainly complimented it. Defknteky would buy again.
