Jose L Piedra Cazadores Cigars - Pack of 5

Been meaning to write a review on these for some time. I’ve tried a fair few of these, 30+ and have just bought a box of 25 so I feel confident reviewing them. At £4.60 a stick, if bought by the box, they’re the same price as a J. Cortés High Class Sumatran, which is an awful cigar. For what they are, a Cuban for a fiver, they’re fantastic. On occasion the draw can be tough but this usually loosens up to deliver a a pleasant, mild flavour. They’re nutty, creamy and smooth. They can get a little spicy towards the end but for the most part they’re a mild-medium bodied smoke. I’ve had more expensive Cubans that have behaved worse than these. I rarely find construction issues with them. Try one, they’re great!

Overall a very good stick! Few guys have mentioned construction issues, I had no such problems. Flavour wise, very mild in my opinion. I got a sweet tasting smoke that didnÂ’t linger on the tongue for long. I would certainly recommend this for someone looking to try a Cuban for the first time. Very easy going. Overall IÂ’d give this a 6/10 as for me it just lacked a little flavour and I think there are better sticks for similar money.

Being only an occasional ciger smoker i have found these to be an excellent buy.I have tried the more expensive Havanas and found these to compare well---not too strong(no spinning head) with a really nice taste.I have smoked six recently and all burned well and evenly and did not have to relight once.All in all a good buy--A Havana cigar for liitle more than a pint of beer!!

I’m a cigar novice so take what I say with a pinch of salt... A lot of Cuban for a very reasonable price! I got close to an hour smoke from this one so, value wise, this is an awesome cigar. And the flavours of young tobacco and wood are definitely there. However I didn’t begin to really enjoy this cigar until the final third. The draw was quite poor until half way down. The Cuban flavours are there but it doesn’t really develop until half way down, at which point it turns spicy. I would buy a smaller vitola next time but I think I’m more inclined to sample some new world cigars first. I’d recommend forking out a little more for a Montecristo or RyJ if you’re after a more rounded, complex Cuban flavour. Pleasant smoke overall, though.

Have to agree with the comments about the quality . What I have discovered is better quality when they are bought as singles, also used a small fine screwdriver and punch slightly deeper than conventional punch and dont cut. As stated tightly wrapped, produced a very smooth mild smoke, holds ash well and lots of smoke with pleasant taste and aroma. Despite using this attic had to retouch once.
