Quintero Favoritos Cigar - 1 Single
by Chris
These have got to be among the tastiest cigars I've tried, and I've sampled quite a few different brands lately. Burn and construction are not exactly of Premier League standards but the nice easy draw and flavour more than make up for it. A competitively priced Cuban alternative to Oliva and NUB.
Quintero, why pay more?

A Cuban robusto for a little over a tenner, where’s the catch?
Price is not something i think about much when buying a cigar, as I am an infrequent smoker, but although I have old favourites, I like to work my way through a good variety of cigars. Robusto is my favoured size, as it gives a cool easy draw and much of the flavour associated with the larger vitolas, in a more compact smoke.
So this was one I’d wanted to try for some time, but as with most cigars, a little humidor time can often help bring out the best.
Construction is average, but that’s not a criticism, as it’s more than adequate, with quite veiny leaves used in the wrapper and a few minor discolourations. The cap is well attached and you’re not going to get any unravelling from making a big cut. Colour is a nut brown and the aroma unlit is of cedar and earth. To the touch this is a slightly spongy cigar, which i felt may be indicative of a loose construction and less tobacco leaves used, so essentially built to a price.
It lit easily and first impressions were of ceadar, leather and maybe a slight nut

I was looking forward to this having read the reviews, settled into an armchair with a good book on my lap. The book was good but the cigar a disappointment. The wrapper was dry and friable, the draw poor and the flavour only OK. I wont be buying it again.

Unfortunately the more the cigars I smoke the more I find that the more expensive the cigar the better it is! This was hugely disappointing, the cigar lacked any flavour, the burn was terrible and had a huge over burn to one side. I’m finding more and more that RYJs, Trinidad’s, upman, Covina etc just produce far better quality cigars. Personally I don’t smoke that often but when I do it has to be good! This Cigar was a waste of time and even the lower price is just not worth it

Wonderful draw and a very pleasant smoke. No issues with the wrapper. This rivals cigars of a higher price point. Will happily order another one
