A couple of months old now, and a couple of each: Partagas Petit Coronas Especiales and Quinteros Favoritos

What are the favoritos like? Always thought they would make an ok emergency cigar.

They're much better than an emergency smoke Pete! Fantastic ceegars that are well worth the meagre price charged for them...

As above really, but don't expect toooo much from them. For me they're a great, to coin to phrases from members, good "decoys" (Arf) and "fillers" (smokin...) for when you don't want to pick up something of a better pedigree.

All in all, a cheap 'n' cheerful Cuban

If you're abroad, Favoritos are ridiculously cheap and such great value for money. I bought a few when I was in Germany for three euros a pop. A steal.

However, with the taxation here in the U.K. I think a single Favoritos comes to around ?10. If you can spend an extra pound or two go for something like a Ramon Allones Specially Selected or El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme.

Good point Steve as tobacco is ultimately taxed on weight and these are just under a Robusto, and yes they go for just under a tenner in most places in the UK. I forgot to add, I picked these up on our hols.
