Looks like itll blow your socks off and...this thing is the silk cut of Cigars.
It genuinely tasted of sour thin air. While it produces plenty of smoke, the draw is so thin theres no body to it at all.
A cigar for people who really dont like cigars perhaps?
Definitely wont be buying again.

Terrible.
Really poor smoking cigar, far to tightly packed and hard to draw.
Not a nice flavour. Given the bad reviews I thought I would make my own decision.
I think a deservedly low overall review score.
Not for me, definitely wont be purchasing again.

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.

Ive probably smoked 15 to 20 different cigars in the last year, all roughly £12 - £25 each or thereabouts. The Montecristo No.4 is by far the best. I just cant fault it at all. The earthy smooth coffee flavour is never too strong, never too mild. The draw is never too tight, never too loose. This cigar simply delivers perfection for me. My favourite my a long way.
