Quintero Petit Quintero Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
Lovely cigar and stockingly good value. Mild and flavorsome, I will certainly be buying again.
Not a complex cigar but at this size and price is certainly punching above its weight.

After reading other reviews I was very carefull with this stogie.
Still after 2 minutes the wraper began to flake and unfold.
The burn became uneven several times aftr 20 minutes.
That said it had a good draw and pleasant flavour, I might buy again on those grounds and the low price

Quintero Favoritos Cigar - 1 Single
by Simon
A Cuban robusto for a little over a tenner, where’s the catch?
Price is not something i think about much when buying a cigar, as I am an infrequent smoker, but although I have old favourites, I like to work my way through a good variety of cigars. Robusto is my favoured size, as it gives a cool easy draw and much of the flavour associated with the larger vitolas, in a more compact smoke.
So this was one I’d wanted to try for some time, but as with most cigars, a little humidor time can often help bring out the best.
Construction is average, but that’s not a criticism, as it’s more than adequate, with quite veiny leaves used in the wrapper and a few minor discolourations. The cap is well attached and you’re not going to get any unravelling from making a big cut. Colour is a nut brown and the aroma unlit is of cedar and earth. To the touch this is a slightly spongy cigar, which i felt may be indicative of a loose construction and less tobacco leaves used, so essentially built to a price.
It lit easily and first impressions were of ceadar, leather and maybe a slight nut

I found this a fairly unremarkable smoke, it is by no means a bad cigar but for the price you can do better. fairy mild but it gets better in the last third. I found it was much better as a straight cut rather than a punch as the draw is fairly tight. It is not one I would by again, however if someone offered me one I would smoke it quite happily. Probably a good first time maduro.

I'm not going to go on about tastes and smells. I will say that it was an enjoyable smoke, great with a porter. Lit well and burnt evenly. Got a good 35/40 minutes out of it before the taste became a bit bitter. Held together well, with a good mouth feel. I am sure there are better on the market but I've paid a lot more for big names, and this little beauty holds its own. Great value for money!

Well balanced even burn undertones of coffe and chocolate only issue is the cap came away otherwise magnificent
