Quintero is a very old Cuban maker- they have been around since 1924, long before la revolución, and are still producing cigars. While 100% tobaco Cubano for everywhere other than the States, they are only Honduran tobacco for the Yanks. Of course, being in the UK, we tried the Cuban ones, and definitely enjoyed them.
The smoke was good in every way, by no means excellent and amazing, but good. The panatelas were tightly rolled and made of long filler. The smoke was neither sweet nor dry, but balanced and definitively Cuban-flavoured. If you can find these (most retailers in the UK seem to only stock the more expensive tubulares and churchills, of which we have no doubt would be at least as nice), we definitely recommend them. A pack of 5 will cost around £10. We found ours in Duty Free for €3.70 (at which price they are amazing value for money!)
