The Petit Panatela cigars, by Occidental Cigars Santiago are hand made in the Dominican Republic with long filler, both traits that make the cigars much nicer (long filler is full tobacco leaf filler, rather than shreds and stems). These cigars didn't have any particular or unique flavour, they just feature a light, simple and pleasantly enjoyable smoke. They also have very little tar, which happily does not dry out the smoke, unlike many smaller cigars and cigarillos in which either they are tarry with sweet smoke, or tar-less with incredibly smoke.
We recommend giving these Panatelas a try; they cost about £2 each. For those of you who are fortunate enough to have a humidor, we suggest buying a pack of these to lay down in your humidor (for most tobacconists will give you a discount if you purchase a pack or box) for occasions when company is around, but you don't want to invest a considerable length of time smoking a churchill...

I am smoking Cuban cigars since my collage days because my father used to smoke those And these also seems to be good but are they available online as discounted cigars like others are being availed.
