Customers generally find the Guantanamera Compay to be an excellent value cigar, often praised for its mild, approachable flavour and consistent burn, making it a popular choice for beginners. However, some seasoned smokers note that the flavour can be a bit one-dimensional or turn harsh in the final third, and a few experienced reviewers found it to taste bitter or like a cigarette.
Best suited for new cigar smokers or those seeking an affordable, mild, everyday smoke that offers good value, especially if you appreciate a lighter profile and don't mind a potentially less complex flavour journey.

I've tried a lot of cigars in my time, from new world to the old favoured Cubans. And this is, by far, the most disgusting Cigar I've ever had the displeasure of trying, it's very very bitter and pretty much tastes of ash, there is no flavour what-so-ever. It maybe cheap, but there is a reason for that, avoid at all costs.

Very impressed with this great value cigar. Lovely flavour throughout, hints of chocolate and smooth vanilla. Smoked it down to just past the band when it suddenly became too harsh. Very even burn and put out loads of smoke. My next purchase is going to be my first humidor and I will definitely be getting a few of these to go in there, at four quid each they're cheap enough to share.

These cigars are good value for money, with an ok flavour and a nice even burn, but is far from my favourite. The flavour starts off a little bland but the last 1/3 becomes a quite harsh which to some people would be very unpleasant (a fellow seasoned cigar smoker tried one and gave up halfway through) Overall they are nice for a cheap cigar but not one I'd smoke often.

As a novice cigar smoker, this was a great starter, i didn't want to go straight into the medium to full flavored monte's, so thought i would start on some mild's, really nice smoke, recommended for any starters, enjoyed with a nice black coffee, took about 30 mins to smoke as i took my time, nice even burn, and that was even smoking outdoors with a substantial breeze!

Fantastic quality for the price. Bought a five pack to share with my brothers in law on Christmas day. I smoked the spares and got a good even draw on all 3 that I had! Would say light to medium body. Worth keeping a few in the humidor as quick everyday smokes.
