Hecho en Cubano... what more can we say? Actually, if you're looking for the Cuban cigar (or cigarillo experience) I don't recommend these, for I have tasted considerably nicer Cubans in my lifetime. However, as cigarillos go, these are not bad.
They are distinctly Cuban in flavour, but are also quite dry (we would suggest keeping them in a humidor) and packed a bit more loosely than expected. However, the filler was a hybrid (meaning both short edge trimmings, but also leaves) and perhaps had these been better kept, they might have scored a bit higher, so bear that in mind. Certainly, if you are looking for a cigarillo to offer to someone else without seeming cheap or ignorant, these will work... but to be honest, if you can get ahold of the Montecristo Minis, go for those instead. If not, these will cost you around £5.50 for a pack of 10.
