So I bought this cigar the other day purely out of impulse, I’d popped down to the local cigar specialist and bought a few cigars and had a few pounds left over so took a completely blind shot on one of these!!
When I got home I came straight onto CGars to see if there was any reviews on this cigar and needless to say was pretty disappointed when the reviews were all pretty negative!!
However I tried this cigar today in the garden after work and I honestly thought this was a solid cigar, sure it’s nothing that you would go out your way to be running back to the cigar store to get another one straight away but all in all it lit well, burnt even, had a lot of smoke, nice draw and had a nice taste to it so I found it an enjoyable smoke!!
I would honestly say it depends what your used to smoking, if your usual cigar is a £20-£30 Cuban then it probably won’t be for you, but if your more in the £5-£10 range then honestly it’s a good cigar for a very good price

Have to agree with Mark (see below). I too really enjoyed this, nice good easy draw, long lasting and I though quite smooth. Certainly added to my favourites listings!

Jose L Piedra Brevas Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
Outstanding cigar for the money! Confirms again, that Cuban cigars are the best in the world. I have tried top brands from Nicaragua, Dom Rep, and Honduras in my quest for cheaper cigars that deliver on taste and all New World cigars fall short of the mark perhaps with the exception of Arturo Fuenta.
I enjoyed this so much, I cant wait to try Jose L Piedras other sizes. RECOMMENDED - dont hesitate to buy.

Decided on a quick Sunday afternoon smoke and havent had one of these for a while. All I can say is that after 18 months in the humidor, they have only improved. I still believe that these are a real gem of a cigar and probably the best value Cuban on the market in the UK. Not what you would call complex, but smooth and creamy from start to finish and hold their ash so well its almost gravity defying! All in all a very pleasant experience, time to buy some more so my aged stock doesnt diminish!

Great little cigar and great VFM in my book. Nice looking, well constructed, draw was easy and flavor mild and chocolaty. Lush.

Amazing taste - awful build. Good draw but very, very uneven. As I smoked, a distict seam began to form along a more loosely filled portion. But, at the same time the taste was wonderful: dark chocolate, stout, marshmallow and beetroot... and black cardamom. Sweet but very deep. 2nd third burning a very little more even and flavour getting a little more spicy. A little disappointed but mostly down to the build. The cap was so bad even a shallow cut with a very good cutter left it unraveling ... but the taste was very rich and distinct.
A real shame: I would buy more of these if the QC was better.
PS. Down to last third: getting very hard work just keeping it lit.
Overall: 4/10.
Sorry, because flavour is very much 7/10.
