A quick review for a quick smoke;
Cuban, Gauge 26, Length 115mm, UK cost ?5.99
Out of humidor 72% Rh 22 `C, After lunch, drinking water, 31`C 80%rh
Appearance\construction; Seems well made, stick slightly springy, no soft or hard spots, light tobacco odours.

Pre draw loose and mild.
1\3; An easy draw yielded plenty of cool smoke, with a slight harshness on retro-hale, muted spice and woody flavours, ash fell at 1\2 inch.

2\3; Continuing to be an easy if slightly harsh smoke, burn is good, flavours still seem a touch light.
3\3; Harshness has now gone leaving some woodiness and spice, burn and draw have been consistently good, smoked to an inch after 25 minutes.
Conclusion; After reading other reviews I expected a few issues with this one, to be fair I had none. Think this probably best for a quick lunchtime smoke, not to demanding of attention, the price seems high for what it is especially when compared to a Del Mundo Demi Tasse. Cannot say I would buy again, but would not condemn it either.
