Sadly I have to give a bad review about this cigar for this specific reason.
When I carefully removed the access tobacco leaf from the cigar it also removed 75% of the maduro wrapper along with it leaving behind no wrapper just the filler and binder still tightly wrapped.
I still lit the cigar to see if it would smoke but after a few minutes it started to disassemble itself making it impossible to smoke and the few puffs I did get was like fresh air.
So I cannot give any flavour notes as this was impossible to do.
Hopefully this was just a one off but I do have another in the humidor to try at a latter time. Hopefully it wont have the issue.

Not a bad cigar but not great either!! Very good draw and construction but flavour a little harsh for me. I like a panatella but prefer the offering from cohiba or the lovely La Gloria Cubana Medaille d Or No. 4. The price seems high to me but just my opinion

Well constructed and easy yo smoke with no issues. Cedar, Toasted nuts and espresso with a medium amount of spice.
Nice mouth feel with plenty of smoke and a straight burn line made this cigar great to smoke after a nice Sunday roast.
Held the ash fairly well.

Quintero Favoritos Cigar - 1 Single

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.

Absolutely fantastic smoke, bought these to share with friends at a get together, I'm nowhere near experienced enough yet to discuss tasting notes however I can say, very smooth and near perfect burn. A little tight in the first half but not enough to hinder the experience. Enjoyed by all, definitely be ordering a other box.

Medium flavoured with woody and spice the main notes. Good construction with no touch ups required.
Plenty of good smoke all the way to the nub.
Total smoke time for me (Slow smoker) was 55 enjoyable minutes.
