Cigar: Don Julian No. 1 (6/10)

Don Julian is a cigar manufacturer operating in Spain and Portugal, and their cigars can be found in most tobacconists on the Iberian peninsula, and quite possibly in some UK ones as well. The No. 1 coronas we tried (pre-cut and machine-rolled, but well-sealed) were made of Sumatran tobacco, and were ridiculously light in flavour; a very 'blond' smoke. Though I generally like my cigars to be pungent, thick and flavoursome, these were not bad- certainly there were no negative flavours at all.

My colleague (who tried more of these than I did) told me that he had a couple good ones, but a couple bad ones as well, so unfortunately we are left with another one of those inconsistent manufacturers. Give them a try if you like, especially if you prefer a very light smoke. A pack of five will cost around 10 euros, and a bit more in the UK.
  • Smoking time: 10-15 minutes
  • Flavour: 3/10
  • Smoke Sweetness: 5/10
  • Tar (1=very wet, 10=very dry): 5/10
  • Value for Money: 6/10
  • Indulgence Factor: 6/10
  • Overall Rating: 6/10

    1. The only way I have been able to get Don Julian No. 1 cigars is when my daughter visits her in-laws in Barcelona. She brings them back for me. I live in Pennsylvania and have been unable to find them anywhere.
