Quintero's soft, medium-bodied flavor makes it ideal for those looking to experience the flavor of Habanos. It is one of the few Habanos brands that are not born in the capital of Cuba, Havana. Instead, its founder Agustín Quintero with his four brothers established a shop in the city of Cienfuegos, on the south coast, known as the "Pearl of the South". All tobaccos selected for the Quintero filling mixture come from the Vuelta Abajo and Semi Vuelta areas. All Quinteros are manufactured using the Short Tripe technique.

The Cohiba Siglo I Cigar claims the title of the smallest Cohiba cigar of all. This is another addition to the Cohiba Siglo collection – created to celebrate the 500th anniversary of discovery of Cuba. The Siglo I sports a Perla vitola – measuring at 102mm with a 40 ring gauge. So, it’s certainly a smaller smoke for you. Although it may be short in size, it’s by no means short in flavour – it delivers a medium-full bodied smoke. Containing earthy notes of cedar and barnyard – with distinct leather aromas.  

The Montecristo Mini is manufactured and packaged without a band. The wrapper is medium brown in color. It is soft to the touch and matte. The Mini's build is very good and the cigar burns well. The ash is compact and dark gray in color. It has flavors of tobacco and wood, aromas of nuts, cocoa and spices.

The Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas is a spectacular medium-full Petit Corona. This cigar deserves more consideration, despite the fact that its big brother, the Specially Selected, gets all the attention. It is also suffering from the harsh competition from other Habanos like Partagas Petit Corona, Montecristo No.4, Bolivar Petit Coronas, Cohiba Siglo II, San Cristobal De La Habana El Principe, and Por Larranaga Petit Coronas which are all outsanding smokes. Give the Small Club Coronas a chance. You will be quite pleased.

The Montecristo Especial No.2 is a great choice for a pure smooth Cuban medium. It is not complex, mainly has a cedar flavor, with a little cocoa, walnut and just the right amount of spices. Soft smoke, long finish. Creamy and spicy in the retro-hale.  This cigar simply offers a great Montecristo experience, a perfect way to discover the world of Habano.

 The pure Por Larrañaga Panetela is a rare jewel indeed. With exceptional flavor, soft easy to draw, fantastic floral aroma. With enough complexity to keep you on your fingers. 

The Cuaba Salomon is rich and complex right from the beginning and all along the smoke. This behemoth figurado is packed with rich earthy and woody aromas. The draw is always excellent. If stored properly, aging is limitless. Excellent in all ways, beautiful to behold, nice construction, and most importantly, the flavors are fantastic.

The Sancho Panza Non Plus is a delightful and creamy medium bodied Petit Corona. It is somewhat close to a Vegas Robaina Familiar in taste. It presents a nice mix of flavors in the palate, such as earth, wood, peat, leather (quite salty and dank flavors), but there is also some sweetness of cocoa, vanilla, chocolate and some fruity notes of raisin, and hints of oatmeal. For such an attractive price, it would be a miss not to try this Habanos. It can be a bit young and powerful, but overtime, after 2 or 3 years of ageing, the flavors will be magnified. It is definitely a cigar that deserves publicity.
