Product Introduction

The Guantanamera Cristales is a Long Corona model with the factory name Cristales Mano. It's from Cuba, hand - made, and has a Corona format.

Appearance

The wrapper seems carelessly wrapped, very rough with large veins sticking out. The color of the wrapper is irregular, and it has an appearance rating of 1/5.

Construction

It is very loosely constructed and too soft. Small pieces of tobacco leaves stay on the lips after each puff. It burns easily, has an even draw but produces very little smoke. Construction rating is 1.5/5.

Flavor

• First two - thirds: Tasted like a large cigarette, with only an average - quality tobacco smell.
• Last third: A few earthy notes appeared, but it didn't change the overall impression. Flavor rating is 2.5/5.

Value

With a value rating of 2/5, it's advised not to be lured by the low price of about 1.50€ per piece and to choose something better and slightly more expensive.

Additional details: The cigar weighs 9.29 g, and despite some nice flavors in the last third, it's not recommended due to its poor appearance and construction problems.
