a brilliant budget cigar ok you get the duff one as good as any when your out shooting & @this price it does nat matter if you drop one in the mud or throw dodgy one away. What would like to say is that I mispaced my 10 cigar travel humidor & found it 2 years later they were a joy I would give them a higher rating but generally would not keep them that long.I currently have a box of portages D ring no4 cohiba madura & montecristo edmundos in the garage all of which are my favourites for lads nights also romeo & julliett julliettas for a quick lunch time smoke. back to the conservas these are the cheapest hand made havanas &should be judged on bang for the buck for me after more than 1000 yes thousand the jury is still out so I've bought another 50 too help me make up my mind

These were the first cigars I have bought for the home and to smoke with friends, now I'm new to the cigar smoking world so only wanted a decently cheap box of ten, so don't get me wrong you cant really argue with the price but you know what they say, you get what you pay for, these are not the worst smoke you can have I would say but they are far from the best, I find that after the half way point they just don't really stay enjoyable, they don't taste that nice nor do they even smell nice, I would recommend these to someone buying on a budget like I was but not to an experienced cigar smoker. However an upside of these cigars is that they have a nice even burn and last around 20-40 minutes depending on how fast you smoke. overall good price but not that good of taste

A very mild to medium body cigar.,
Draw was very light, beautiful sheen on the wrapper minimal veins and superbly constructed if not however a little soft and under filled, burn was lovely and even.
Moist wood/forest earth aroma to the prelight wrapper with hints of cocoa , creamed expresso body with a nutty, earthy finish during the duration of the smoke.
Smoke frequently as the burn can tend to fade quickly, light draws keeps the cigar ticking over nicely without having to really stoke it up to obtain a flavourable aroma.
A good 40/50 minutes smoke
Brewed coffee makes a perfect combination!

Well I'm new to Cigar smoking and thoroughly enjoying finding my pallette while my go to Cigar is the coronation punch Corona I wanted a box of relatively cheap cigars for the home. These are nothing to write home about the first half is boring and flavourless the second is a bit better with it finishing bitter. The machine made fill gets quite soft as and if Like me you prefer a to cut the cap then towards the end you will be picking tobacco leaves out of your teeth. Really wish I had listened to other reviewers and ordered the blue box.

Last week I sampled the new Juan Lopez Superba RE16. Today I wanted to make a nice review of the regular production Juan Lopez No 2.
Juan Lopez No 2 is in my opinion one of the best Constructed Havanas. It has a lovely wrapper. (I Love them when they come with a dark wrapper) The construction in flavour is amazing.
The first part of this robusto 124mm x 50 is extremely woody (The regional edition one smells like nuts, this one smells sweet and woody) the first flavours are extremely lovely wood, and very sweet brown sugar notes.
The second part is very mellow on my palate, I can recognise a few small notes of almonds.
The third part is getting much more full bodied. Flavours are becoming very rich in sweet notes, some smooth white pepper notes, a bit spicy on my palate but just a little.
The draw is lovely. I cannot find any problems in this cigar. Wonderful smoke.
I would like to recommend trying this cigar with our two Stalla Dhu whiskies, if you like to combine flavours. For the first sweet part of the cigar, try our Stalla Dhu Islay; you can combine the sweetnes

First JL ever. Not too shabby to look at but not a thing of wonder. The flavours started straight away with the usual cubanesc wood and spice. I want to say I picked on up on some milk chocolate but that would be a smidge fanciful but there was something in th way of pleasant confectionery somewhere towards the end of the first third. So, woody, spicy, choclatey (maybe) but then definite wood and some, not entirely unpleasant, bitterness. This cigar is far from one dimensional! It is definitely not the best at anything but it does have something that soooo many cigars don't achieve; it takes you through a flavour journey that twists and turns, it keeps you thinking. For this alone, I think I'm a fan. I would recommend and buy again. An ageing box would be an interesting project.
