If you were to judge these on appearance alone you would be forgiven for thinking budget smoke with little to offer. The wrapper is rough and rugged, the 5 pack that I ordered was full of wrapper imperfections but the cigar felt like it had a substantial and even packing. The dry draw was surprisingly loose, maybe even too loose; The handful of Cubans Ive tried thus far have had quite snug draws so I had to exercise a bit of self control while puffing away on this stick. Flavours were a balanced mixture of grass, earth and wood with the smoke leaving a slightly oily finish in my mouth. A hint of spice slowly built up from around the half way point, but just like all the other flavours remained mild and light.
Considering the low price relative to other Cubans of a similar vitola, its very difficult to find anything to criticise. This cigar is very similar to the Monte no. 4 and while the flavours are not as full bodied or rich, it is significantly cheaper, almost £100 saved when comparing a bundle of 25 to a box of Montes.

Got this a couple of weeks ago. Nice draw and quite a mild smoke, I thought, but not quite enough body or flavours coming through for me. That said, thy are good value and if you took a couple to hand out at a BBQ, they would go down well Im sure.

Rather disappointed with this one. Not much taste,I would say no taste at all, draw was fairly bad.... will not buy again.

My my, what a Cuban. This is a strong cigar. It’s deceiving to begin with, starts off very mild in the first 3rd but then in the second seriously kicks it up a gear! I’m no connoisseur but I’ve sampled a fair amount of Cubans in the corona vitola but this was my first Cuban robusto, and the size definitely delivers a smoother, more flavoursome smoke. A rich, peppery cigar with hints of ginger, coffee and nuts. Flawless burn and excellent construction. Not a midday smoke, is all I’d say. Enjoy it after a meal, as I did.

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.
