Las Cabrillas Balboa
"Not really worth the effort"
Las Cabrillas Balboa
First of all the draw on this cigar is terrible, I smoked 2/3 of it and it never improved. It is listed as medium strength but I would say it is weaker then some of the mild cigars I've had. The smoke (what there is of it) is pleasant and probably wouldn't offended anyone around you. In summary the draw is not good and there is no flavor this is probably a good cigar if you wanted to try to look cool smoking a cigar but actually don't like smoking them.

"Must be cut in half high."
Las Cabrillas Cortez
No draw until cut in half then packs big punch.

"One of my Favorites"
Las Cabrillas Vasco De Gama
I've read some negative comments on the Cortez and thought I should give my opinion. At around $1.85, I haven't found a better cigar for the price. Is it an Onyx? Of course not. Is it a great affordable smoke - Definitely!!! I moved to north Alabama about six months ago and can't find a decent smoke within 50 miles. I really missed the Cortez and have family bring me some when they visit. Glad to find them on-line at such an affordable price - $1.56. If you like a great cigar at a daily smokable price - try the Cortez Maduro.. You won't be disappointed.

"A very worthy low cost Honduran"
Las Cabrillas Cortez
Just grabbed one of these from my local shop on a whim. Now this is only based on one...but, constructed well, burned smooth, and drew quite nicely, not too easy, not too hard. Nice semi-medium bodied smoke with a nice flavor, a pleasant smoke at a fine price.

"A sound long term investment"
Las Cabrillas Ponce De Leon
I discovered Las Cabrillas in the original Famous Smoke Shop near Sixth Ave. in Manhattan, in 1990. The taste is outstanding, mild but full, and the best part of the cigar is the very end. I'm delighted I can continue ordering these great cigars in my new home in Israel.

"Great cigar for the price!"
Las Cabrillas Balboa
At $1.85 I couldn't pass it up. Liked it so much I bought a box as did a golfing buddy of mine. Neither of us has been disappointed. Good bang for the buck.

"The natural version of the Balboa is a mild treat!"

The natural version of the Balboa burns smooth and long. It is extremely mild and tasty.I never get tired of this cigar.

One of the better values. Very mild especially in the Natural wrapper.Cigar burns evenly and has a much easier draw than the smaller Cabrillas..I highly recommend it
