Jose L Piedra Conservas Cigar - 1 Single
by Philippos
What a cigar! I got a good 45 minutes out of this stick. Goes ridiculously well with a Greek/Arabic/Turkish coffee. Smooth creamy flavours. Highly recommend.

Having previously had an unpleasant experience with a couple of Media Corona’s (impossible draw, uneven burn) before, I tried one again the night before last as it had arrived as the mystery cigar as part of the C.gars monthly subscription. This time, I’m happy to report, there was a much improved outcome.
The 44 x 90mm vitola is the smallest of the Cuban Montecristo family but certainly looks the part - it normally comes presented in a unique sliding tin of 5. This one proved to be an easy 30 minutes, delivering plentiful smoke output and a very pleasant aroma. Strength was upper medium.
Used a simple punch cut which was ideal for the RG and it was easy enough to fire up. I did however find the overall taste not particularly complex and in my view the cigar came across as a little undemanding but still enjoyable smoke. Probably not too surprising given the relatively short size. That said, I did detect a definite caramel sweetness lingering in the background which was rather pleasant.
This example has had a month or two in the humi at 69• which I think helped and i

I loved this cigar. It was an even burn, a smooth draw, great construction and the flavour was deep and robust throughout with a peppery second third. I got a good hour out of it and I loved every minute of it.

Chinchalero Chicos Cigar - 1 Single

For a cheap 20 to 30 minute smoke I found it quite enjoyable. Although harsh at the beginning, it developed well with an even burn.

Bought this as new to pipe smoking, Having tried its big brother the corn cob pipe I thought I would give this a try. Simular experience to the famous Corn Cob pipe. Great handy size.

Not a fan of this cigar. Smoked evenly, good draw, but not much flavour at all. However this a classic case of getting what you pay for, although there are a few others around the same cheap price that i would definately choose above this one.
