This came in a selection of cigars from around the world some months back so has been sleeping in my humidor. I prefer a smoke of around an hour thus favour cigars around the Montecristo size but with the winter months approaching they tend to be a little too long with the last minutes being spent thinking “I’m getting cold now”. I’ve tried smaller, a Maduro but for me it was too small and reminded me of why I gave up smoking cigarettes, well one reason anyway. I found this Quintero to be ideal. It’s substantial enough in size, both length and gauge to sit in between the two. Not dissimilar in taste to a Montecristo in my view, medium strength. Clipped well and the ash formed a good solid inch before dropping. Even burn and relaxed draw. I spun this out for a good forty five minutes in the garage with a beer whilst admiring the motorbikes. This could have been shortened to thirty minutes if you so desired. Overall rating is very pleasant and one I’d be happy to stock in my humidor.

This little cigar lit and burned perfectly. Lasting around 20 minutes it is ideal for a quick, easy smoke, giving mellow flavours. Excellent value for money.

I'm giving up on these. If you get a good one, they're wonderful, but over half of 'em won't draw & keep goin out. I'm enjoying one now (after I drilled down the middle of it)

Similar lack of draw to the blue petit Corona. Do not buy.

Very mild indeed, lacking character. But, this is nothing compared to the lack of draw. Do not buy.

Not hugely complex, strong tobacco and earth tastes. Adequate for a thirty-minute dog walk. The major disappointment for me (and I really ought to have known better) is that I expected to smoke robusto-sized cigars. These most certainly are not 50 ring-guage by 5 inches in length. They are under 4 inches and have a ring-guage not too dissimilar to the round Villiger Exports (which, to my unsophisticated palette, are preferable). Please CGARS, describe these as what they are: Petite Coronas (and that's being generous). I know men are supposed to exaggerate when it comes to size, but this was ridiculous...
