Jose L Piedra Brevas Cigar - 1 Single
by Jeremy
This was the last of a budget Cuban sampler which I enjoyed today with a couple of cups of Grumpy Mule Honduran Coffee, after a mornings graft in the garden. When it arrived it was a little dry, so left it in the humidor for four weeks and it was just right despite the wrapper appearing dry. The wrapper is veiny and it has a rustic look to it. I clipped it before I remembered it had a short filler, this resulted in it being a little flaky initially; might have been better if I hadpierced it with a match stick. It is too small to use a punch.
It lit easily and burned very evenly. There was plenty of creamy smoke. The first ash fell after approx third of the smoke on a windy day. Two more ash drops for the entire length. The draw was very easy and consistent throughout.
On my palate this was a mild to medium and I was very pleasantly surprised at the overall taste and quality of the smoke. I enjoyed it enough to smoke it right out without any temptation to stub it out early. The taste was consistent apart from the last inch when it started to taste just a little hot and too peppery

Not much to say that hasnt already been said by previous reviewers. A great little cigar that richly deserves five star ratings.

Quintero Petit Quintero Cigar - 1 Single
by Jeremy
This came as part of a selection and initially seemed a bit dry yet spongy. After three weeks in the humidor I tried it this mid morning with a coffee on a pleasantly sunny breezy October Sunday.
It is quite loosely wrapped and on cutting the wrapper flaked a little- not a good start I thought but it pleasantly surprised me. It lit easily, burned evenly and was not surprisingly an easy draw due to it being loosely rolled. Despite the breeze the ash stayed on until half way. I like a mild aromatic cigar in the morning and this was up to the mark. On my palate it was a little chocolatey and then mildly peppery as it progressed. I put it out before the last quarter as it was beginning to become a little bitter. It burned rapidly so only lasted the time took me to drink two medium size mugs of coffee. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and wouldn’t turn one down if it was offered to me. Would I buy more ? While I can afford an Upman, probably not but don’t let that put you off trying one.

A little powerhouse of a cigar. Fairly straight burn, nice draw but doesnt burn to quick. Lots of flavour. Wasnt expecting it to be this good. Will buy again.
