Really enjoyed having these cigars while sitting outside having dinner or by the fire. For the price of them they can't be beat. Few in the box had pretty hard draws. - Good for price , 11/4/2014 By okidragon

I would rate this cigar higher but there are some cigars with tough draws here and there. The cigars that are tough do ease up as you smoke it down though. I feel that these cigars are very good with that a side and for the price that is a very small issue. If you have to have every cigar perfect then I would suggest spending the extra money and get some Bolivar ect. If you are a daily smoker like me these are gems come on a Cubans for 2 bucks (well before customs in my case) you cant beat that. - Good 'cheap' option , 9/25/2014 By Tom

These were not my original order, which had sold out, but I was happy to try them as a replacement and I'm quite satisfied. Not as 'perfumey' as some Quinteros, which is a bonus. They might benefit from aging a little, though. Even so, very good for the price. - Delicious , 8/25/2014 By Klauss

The Quintero y Hermanos cigars have never been expensive cigars, but the quality has improved significantly since they began hand finishing the cigars a few years ago. If you have time, leave them in the humidor for a few years, and enjoy an amazing cheap cigar. If you're more impatient, then light one up, but expect to encounter less complex and subtle flavors than you're used to from a Cuban cigar.
After the cigars are 1 year old:
Strong earthy and grassy notes, no undertones noted, transitioning into a spicier version of the initial flavor and retaining through the end, losing most of the grass in the last 1/3.
After 3 years:
Earthy notes, still some grass, but less overpowering, picking up some woody undertones and slightly less spice, gaining some leather notes on the finish.
After 5 years:
More subtle earthy notes with a slight hint of grass, smoother transition into wooden tones with a white pepper spice, moving into an oily leathery flavor with retained spice.
About an hour of smoking for me, a 5 year old version is a good cigar to give someone, a 1 year old version is best with strong coffee. No matter the age, the flavors remain robust, but clearly more complex and smoothly transitioning with more age.
