The wrapper was wrinkled and had some minor blemishes on it but above all it just looked cheap. On the plus side combustion was good and it burned evenly with a nice white ash. The draw was easy. Flavourwise it was peppery plus another indistict flavour which wasnt particularly nice. Compared to other budget contenders it has to be said that this is very poor cigar indeed. Recommended? Absolutely not.

I bought this a part of a “budget Cuban “ sampler together with a travel humidor. As a lover of RyJ, it saddens me to say that I derived little or no pleasure from this example. As others have report it had a tight draw. It burned reasonably evenly and produced sufficient smoke for a petit , however, I found it harsh and without much flavour at all. It reminded me of the cheap and nasty’s smoked which I had little choice but to endure as a teenager many, many moons ago. I was tempted to stub it out after the first quarter but but thought a RyJ deserved to be given a little more time. Very much regret to say it didn’t improve and called time on it at three quarters. Fortunately it didn’t cost me much and the disappointment was tempered somewhat in that knowledge. Perhaps I happened upon a poor example but life it too short to endure a poor smoke. On a positive note, it means I can move on to better experiences. If you are tempted I sincerely hope you have a better experience.

Have smoked 6 of these. The first one was great so I ordered 5 more. Unfortunately these did not live up to expectations. It was like the blend had been changed. Having said that these are probably still the best Chicos out there......... they are just not to my taste anymore. Especially as Ive now tried the blue series are they are excellent. If you like to experiment I would certainly encourage you to try one because the flavour profile may suit you. Rating - 3.4 stars.

My example had a small tear in the wrapper but other than that the construction seemed fine. How wrong I was. The burn was constantly uneven.....this later turned into canoeing. Later on strange cavities appeared in several places. The wrapper also needed to be re-glued. CGars gave me a full refund. Turning now to the smoking experience this wasnt much better. I found it to be extremely light bodied.....so much so it was hard to tell that it was Cuban. Sometimes it was a little harsh and then there would be very brief moments of peppery potential. All in all a total disappointment.....especially after reading all of the good reviews on this website. Considering that for not much more cash you can be smoking a H. Upmann I cannot recommend this cigar at all. H Upmann seem to do light bodied cigar with flavour better than most. 2.8 stars.

I found the construction of the cigar to be very good. The wrapper had the smell of cedar and cheese. After lighting up it didnt take long to see why these are a best seller. The cigar has Cuban like qualities while retaining its own Peruvian character. The aroma and flavours are superb. Make no mistake this cigar is capable of embarrassing some Cuban cigars. All in all I can highly recommend this cigar. I dont think there is a better cigar out there under £7. Buy one...you wont regret it. 4.7 stars.

Cuaba Divinos Cigar - 1 Single
by Nigel
This cigar claims to have a maduro wrapper but it doesnt. My wrapper had dents/holes in it and was coming undone even before smoking it. Flavourwise it was typically Cuban but for the most part I found one of the flavours to be a bit too much. Despite this there were times when it was quite enjoyable. The draw was about right although it burnt unevenly most of the time and needed correction. Overall its worth a try but for me it doesnt offer anything that would tempt me to give up the H Upmann range. Cautiously recommended. 3.8 stars.
