solid

nice amounts of smoke, great for a 15-30 minute smoke depending on how strong you pull on it, sweet, tastes like classic tobacco, slightly oaky taste. can smoke to the nub with some spicy but not unpleasant notes. one cigar ive smoked so far had quite a bad binder cap which became unravelled, easily fixed by turning as you smoke it.

Very disapointed

This one is all show and bad taste (good marketing). I could not finish it was so bad. This box will go into the trash.

Nice Cigar

I had one of these today while I waited for the auto mechanic to repair my car. It started off a bit on the mild side. About one inch into the cigar, the flavor began to take shape. It was nice and smooth, very little aftertaste, and stayed this way until the end. The burn could have been a bit better, but it didn't ruin the experience. I will pick up a box of these.

Hands down my favorite "every day" cigar

Mild, cool, easy drawing, cigar. Lasts about six holes on the golf course...

WoW!

I just had my first one of these. Great burn, draw, smoke, and taste! It lasted about 45 minutes. Although small, it was WAY BETTER than bigger $1.00 smokes I've had. Very satisfying!

Nice looking

Nice looking, excellent construction...but, I'm sorry to say, even cheap machine-made Cubans (Quintero, La Flor de Cano,)are more flavorful and aromatic.....

Great Smoke

This is one of my favorites. It is cheap in price but rich in flavor. If you are into stronger cigars that are complex Cuesta Rey is a must have in the humidor.

Handy and Dandy

These are great for traveling and retain more of the spicy nature sealed airtight as they are. The only problem I've had is they are a little too damp; but they are fine if aired for a few hours in a drier climate. If you've enjoyed the Tuscany and you'll find these similar but more flavorful.

love ithe cigars and the humidor!!!

great gift and the cigars are extremely popular

Nice cigar for the money

This is one of my favorite cigars and for the money they are hard to beat. Great draw and long burn on top of the awsome aroma makes this a great all around pick.

A great smoke,,a 9.5...

This is a great smoke from A. Fuente. This cigar has a Sun Grown Wrapper and is extremely smooth. The cigar finishes the same way it starts, its hard to put it down. If you like a smooth, medium cigar give this one a try. A 9.5..

Cuesta Rey Cameo

I fell in love with the Cuesta Rey Cameo while I was shopping for a small cigar. Don't let the size fool you. There is alot of flavor in that small package. It is about a 20 minute smoke which works out perfectly with my schedule. Nothing wasted. If you don't have time for a full size cigar, the cameo is a great alternative. It has become my cigar of choice in a very short time.

All Foam, No Beer

This is a firm, very attractive smoke, very good cap with a smooth slightly oily wrapper. Burned slightly uneven but held a strong ash and drew well. Flavor is the downside. Very mild leather and cedar flavors that turns woody as you finish. Mid 80's on looks. Avoid if you are looking for a medium or stronger smoke.

Delicious!

Great smoke. Bought one on advice of local smoke shop owner and I had to call and thank him. Burned a little unevenly, but otherwise an excellent smoke. Very smooth, beautiful ash. Only ashed twice and first because had reached the ring! I will order these today.

Ultra-smoothe, elegant little smoke.

Terrifficly smoothe elegant little cigar. "Just right" when you have a few long moments to relax and cogitate, but not the whole night to spend with a larger friend. My "matinee mix" consists of the Cuesta Rey Cameo (rated here), the La Aurura Finos--my favorites--and some H. Uppman petites. I keep these in their own small cigar-box-converted humidor, always ready to be called upon for a nice relaxing smoke.

Taste is smooth and wife like the smell--a plus

Highly recommended

Favorite cigar

This is absolutely the best cigar I've smoked so far. Great, mild taste. Smooth, even draw. The #11 and the #9 are superb. Good 40 minute smokes. And it goes so perfectly while drinking a great oatmeal stout on the patio on a cool evening. Buy them!

Consistenly beautiful smoke although light

I have smoked a half dozen of these in the last two months and they are consistently smooth, beautifully wrapped and with one of the most effortless draws around. The only "drawback" that some might have is that they are a very "light" smoke.

My personal all-time favorite!

This is my all time favorite smoke.Have smoked around 100 different brands, and I keep coming back to Cuesta-rey, and the #60 In particular. Fragrant,aromatic wrapper almost has a floral character. Very mellow , never harsh or strong. Burns evenly. White ash hangs on for ever,and I smoke these til the last possible puff. Every one is as good as the last, have never had a bad one. Predictable as the tides.Super!

A NICE LOOKING PLAIN JANE

Tried the pyramid on advise of a friend. A nice looking and smoking thing with a fair burn,nice smooth full draw and just a little tange to it but pretty much 1 dimensional. Also tried the #60
but the same thing. At $6.90 a stick there are a lot better cigars to be had.

A PRETTY PLAIN JANE

A great looker, nice burn & draw, a bit dry plain
tasting cigar without any real charactor. Dont think i will bother with any more.

Smooth, medium, consistent, no aftertaste.

Cuesta Rey Centenario #60. Light to medium.
Great 45 minute smoke.Like it better than AVO.
No aftertaste or burning or crummy taste in
mouth the day after, or at all. Nice ash,
doesn't need re-lighting.If you don't want
strong cigars,Try it you'll like it!
