Have tried the whole range of the J.Cortez range but this cigar is not wrapped at all tight.Having rat toothed the cigar it was very soft and did not hold its shape.I am a wet smoker so that made it worse.it did not burn evenly and needed to be relit.It was very mild and was no comparison to the Honduran range.Yes they are cheap but La Invicta for price are better.

Overall a very good stick! Few guys have mentioned construction issues, I had no such problems. Flavour wise, very mild in my opinion. I got a sweet tasting smoke that didnÂ’t linger on the tongue for long. I would certainly recommend this for someone looking to try a Cuban for the first time. Very easy going. Overall IÂ’d give this a 6/10 as for me it just lacked a little flavour and I think there are better sticks for similar money.

Being only an occasional ciger smoker i have found these to be an excellent buy.I have tried the more expensive Havanas and found these to compare well---not too strong(no spinning head) with a really nice taste.I have smoked six recently and all burned well and evenly and did not have to relight once.All in all a good buy--A Havana cigar for liitle more than a pint of beer!!

Not a good cigar at all, in my opinion. I had immediate regrets upon examining this one. Dry wrapper, cheap plastic band. I had to cut off 2 inches from the head, reducing this to a 3 inch cigar, to get a decent draw because of major cracks in the wrapper. Probably because it was so dry it could’ve crumbled to ash in your hands. Construction was okay, well packed and burn was even, held its ash well. Flavours were unimpressive, I tasted curry, bizarrely enough, with a very acidic, tangy aftertaste. Not flavours one wants in a cigar. I bought this as a possible cheap everyday smoke but after sampling some Cubans and new worlds, I can safely say there’s much finer cigars available for a pound or two more than this. Bottom line: spend a bit more, get something you’ll actually enjoy. You get what you pay for. Excellent service from CGars, though :)

Sadly not a great smoke. I had high expectations for this one, the band looks great, wrapper nice and oily, well constructed. However the draw was just awful. The burn was great, very even, but it was like sucking through a straw from start to finish. 40-50 minute smoke. Flavours were enjoyable with lots of smoke, coffee, nuts, moss, caramel, however I wonÂ’t be buying this one again as the draw was just nonexistent. Great service from CGars, though :)

First of all excellent packaging and very fast delivery, congrats c.gars. Now the cigar for me it was tight in the draw for the first half. Flavour was pleasant but nothing too complex and strength was a solid medium for me. Smoke time close to 45 minutes if you pace yourself. All and all an excellent daily smoke and given the price you cannot go wrong. Hadnt been for the tight draw this would get 5 stars but I suppose there is always next time.
