Awful. Just plain awful. Lit this up in a room full of half a dozen other smokers, and had to let it go out as it stank to high heaven and was smoking up the place. Relit it a couple of days later and still found it to be nasty (it might as well have been soaked in motor oil), so i binned it. Had to throw away the tube i kept it in too, as no amount of Febreeze and washing would get rid of the disgusting smell it left.
I wanted to try the Petit Cetros i bought before i made any brash review on this one, and found that to be just as bad. If by some freakish misfortune, i happened to end up with two extremely bad examples, i'm not sure. But i don't think i will be trying Jose L PIedra again.

Did not enjoy this cigar. Very uneven burn and went off TWICE.Wrapper did not match filler burn.

A recent pack of these I had (not from here) were a real disappointment. One wrapper and binder was so badly split and unravelled that the cigar was unsmokeable. The other four in the pack were very solid and plugged at the band or between the band and foot - over-filled I think. One was plugged so badly it was impossible to get it to even light, never mind draw, another two very hard work, and the plugs got worse as the cigar heated up. Even relieving them with a steel skewer did little to help. A pity as the flavour is actually not bad at all. Hopefully these examples were from from an isolated bad batch.

It's a cliche but you really do get what you pay for. This doesn't compare with any of the other (handful) of Cubans I've tried but it is less than half the price too. Not the nicest looking wrapper. Pre lighting the aroma is smooth and a little woody but with no particular character being given away. Once lit the same applies. The flavour to me was plain and became spicy at around half way. Fairly tight draw but cool, smooth smoke and not at all unpleasant. Lasted about half an hour. Would recommend as an good everyday sort of cigar.
