Early Christmas Gift

[7kingsguy]

My brother bought me these as an early Christmas present. I know they aren't going to smoke like Cohibas, but they should go down quite well in the cold winter months. They smell pretty good and actually the wrappers look a lot nicer than I expected. They look a lot less rrustic than the Jose L Piedras.

I remember smoking a quintero a few months ago, maybe a londres, not exactly sure...however it was mild with a nice smooth and creamy flavour...notes of leather and cocoa. I was quite surprised, especially as it was a cheap cigar, only problem i had, it was a lil tight....had to roll a lil to ease up the pull. However pretty good for a quick smoke...may be let one sit in the humi for a 2-3 years just to see how it develops, might just surprise us.
