Jose L Piedra Petit Cetros Cigar - Pack of 5 by Seth

I've smoked two from a pack of 5 so far. Both had a very tight draw, and burned evenly. This mild/medium cigar smoke gave off quite a pungent smell for the first third, however this subsided later on. Main flavours were grassy a bit woody, with some saltyness and a touch of sweetness. These flavours faded off after halfway through, and the cigar became quite light (as long as it you don't draw on it too often).

Jose L Piedra Cazadores Cigar - 1 Single by Benedetto

Time to eat some humble pie. While on holiday on the Island of Kos at the start of this month, I visited a well stocked tobbaconist to supplement the 'holiday' supply I'd bought from CGars. 5 Siglo 1's and a few others were chosen. Then I saw the Piedra Cazadores at €4 each. I decided to buy one for a smoke as I had a coffee nearby. After my al fresco herf, I went back and bought 10 more and every one (I'm smoking the last one as I write) has been perfect! I was clearly unlucky the last time, and I feel I was a little hasty to judge. After all, if the quality control is not as stringent, some bad 'uns will slip through the net. I, like so many others, have had bad examples of more expensive well known brands. So, basing this on individual experiences, they get 5 stars. When they're good, they're bloody good!

Jose L Piedra Petit Cetros Cigar - 1 Single by Stephen

Came here to edit my review but I can't so I'm writing another. Bought 5 of these as the first one I had was okay and at this price... I won't be buying any more. I've smoked 3 of them so far. First one was a very hard draw, but manageable, second was okay but the third was completely unsmokeable. It was almost impossible to draw on so it kept going out and the wrapper had unravelled *completely* by the time I got half way so I threw what was left away. I never thought I would get one that was that bad. It was embarrassing, frankly. If they can be that bad I wouldn't even keep them to give away.

Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single by Michael

Well I would start by echoing the description at the top of this page.Definitely not to be underestimated and some great,full flavour.Starting off with some lovely fruity biscuit type flavours which slowly give way to dark chocolate with an underlying,subtle vanilla.This a ballsy,full on cigar with just wonderful Cuban tobacco characteristics.If you'll bear with an analogy for a moment,comparing it to another full flavour Robusto,The BRC.The BRC will turn up at your dinner party in a tuxedo,be very nice and polite and always conduct itself with the best of decorum.This cigar will turn up in it's denim and leathers,sit down,speak it's mind and tell you exactly what it thinks.And you know what,you'll want to listen and listen again!! If you haven't tried one you really,really must!!

Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores Cigar - 1 Single by Benedetto

Nearly didn't buy these based on the last review, but all six that I bought were perfect. I'm on the hunt for a decent short smoke, and these fit the bill. I can understand Ash's comments though, as my experience with the full size Cazadores has not been so good.

I bought 5 of these along with 5 Nacionales and 6 Petit Cazadores, and was very disappointed with the Cazadores. None of them burned evenly and the draw was very poor. This is the second time I've bought this cigar, the first being very successful. I don't think, however, that after 4 bad cigars out of 5, I'll waste time on these again. The Nacionales and Petit Cazadores were much better.
