Quintero Panetela Cigar - 1 Single
by simon
It was well built with no issues and was a 50 minute leisurely smoke all the way to the nub.
It was an earthy mild to medium Cuban cigar with a touch more spice in the last third.
For its price its well worth a shot.

Smoked via a punch cut
Easy draw, and lots of smoke
Canoed almost immediately, and required two touch-ups, burnt quite quickly.
Lasted about 45 minutes
No spice on the lips, slight pepperiness in the mouth. Would say this was a light to medium cigar.
Excellent value really, okay for a mid morning smoke.

Quintero Favoritos Cigar - 1 Single
by William
Received this as part of the monthly subscription pack and stored it in the humidor at a steady 68% for around 3 months. The cap was very short so I used a punch cutter. An uneven burn was rapidly apparent with the centre filler burning faster than the rest and the wrapper which seemed thicker than in many other cigars reluctant to burn at all. Several touchups and removal of unburned wrapper needed. When into the last 2 inches the wrapper became strangely wrinkled and the cigar needed several relights. I gave up on it. In fairness, perhaps this was a bad example or maybe I should have given it a couple of days outside the humidor first.

Another one that surprised me. I had low expectations but I absolutely loved this cigar. Lovely smoke from beginning to end, I really couldn’t fault it. Beautiful smooth flavour, great construction, perfect burn all the way through, easy and enjoyable to smoke 10/10

Sometimes cheap cigars can surprise. This was not the case. I think you get what you pay. This is a budget cigar, very mild taste, and burns really quick. I wouldn't say is bad, but definitely I won't smoke it again.

Was really looking forward to this smoke looking at all the reviews but sadly that was not the case here.
Even before lighting this up you could feel the build quality was lose at both ends and in the middle it was like a rock.
Most of the way say 80% ( was smooth with plenty of smoke) the burn line was wavy and needed touching up a few times.
Removing the band easily but the wrapper underneath was not glued down at all.
I tried to smoke it further but the unravelling was just too much along with the spiciness.
I will get another and put it in my humidor for a few months to see if that makes any difference.
