Cuesta Rey 898

"were better before they changed the band"

These had much better wrappers and flavor when they had the old 898 band. Now they are meh. Ugly wrapper, below average taste. JC Newman would be disappointed in what they did to his cigar.

"Years Ago they were better"

It has been 20 years since I smoked cigars. This one was one of my favorite. Bought a box a month ago. Just can't find the Taste I am looking for. may be an old box they were like rocks.

"Affordable Price & Under~Rated"

a very good cigar that the draw and consistency depends on your cut or your punch. i prefer to punch the ends of these 44's and the draw is smooth. a higher rateing would mean higher price... Let's keep it our little secrete........

Cuesta Rey #95

"personal fav or the Cuesta-Rey line"

Would seek out this size for many years in the 90s and early 2000s. It is quite mild, creamy smooth, and an excellent draw. But since tastes have moved toward stronger and fuller-bodied smokes. the Cuesta-Rey #95 is a hard-to-find cigar. Jump on it when you find it if you like mild-bodied.

"nice little cigar"

nice smoke, burns evenly, great to hover over a few afterwork beers. if you can't find enjoyment in one of these babies, you blow'n smoke out the wrong end. enjoy...

"Smooth & creamy; a delight to smoke!"

Am a fan of mild-bodied smokes and have never met a Cuesta_rey I didn't love! Prefer the Lonsdale but all sizes have excellent construction, consistency and draw. Very creamy and delicious. Not the bargain they once were (what is?), but they're great for a group smoke.

"OK, but not in my top 10 favorites."

Considering the makers of this cigar I expected more. The taste reminds me of a Tampa Nugget, just a little short on flavor.

"Pretty good for just kickin' it casual..."

I was given one of these years ago as a hand-out when when my niece was born. Turned out, after the symbolic handing out of the cigars to a few people, no one else was a cigar smoker except me. I ended up with half a box. These cigars became my de facto "beer drinking at the bar with friends" cigars. Nothing special about them, just mild, easy smoke. Good value for price. Maybe not for pairing with top-shelf bourbons or really special occassions, but wonderful for everyday, casual smokes with friends.
