Guantanamera Cristales.

[Simon Bolivar]

Indeed, you certainly persevered far longer than I did. It was an honest review & that is all we asked, if you had come out say you could taste coffee beans & gingerbread we would have known you were blowing smoke rings up our ar&e! I can assure you every other Havana you smoke will be better than that so it's onwards & upwards!

[Johnny Thunder]

Thanks guys. I appreciate your comments.

Looking forward to the next smoke now.

Oh my god. I am flabbergasted at this review. Partially because I've never seen a guantanamera smoked that far before. Partially because this review DOES make everyone else's look like lazy bastards

Well done, mate! I couldn't stand 8.5 minutes of a guantanamera cristales let alone 85 minutes!

[Johnny Thunder]

Thanks mate.
I hung in there because I was hoping something nice would eventually come from it. Also because it was my first real review.
Nothing nice eventually came from it.

Fair play Johnny, both with the smoke and the write up. I've only ever had one which was given out at the Tropicana, but there's lots to take your mind off things there

Just remembered, I think I've got one from that trip. Aged Guantanamera anyone? It's got about six years on it

Potential raffle prize or auction piece at the next forum herf CJ.

Sounds like your taste is more well developed than mine when I first started on cigars cause although I didn't think they were anything fantastic I at least thought they were alright at the time. Except for having to keep stopping and spitting out little flakes of tobacco

I've one with a MINIMUM of 6 yrs on it.

Whats the starting bid for what your going to pay for people to take it off your hands?

A excellent 'open minded' review .... well done. The Crystales isn't a good cigar, which is good in a way as it means the best is yet to come.

[Johnny Thunder]

Yes it was a poor experience, but this just makes me look forward to the next one even more.

[Rob Royston]

Great review. Remember, things can only get better. And after a few choices, you'll find your favorite smoke, and then still enjoy playing the field

[Sgt_Banter]

I've had a Guantanamera Minuto and although it wasn't that good since it basically tasted of nothing, I didn't find it offensive either. I wouldn't choose to buy or smoke one again but there are some worse cigars kicking around

[MattKernow]

Loved the review Johnny. Gave me some great tips for when I do my first review

Good thorough review there, I was smoking a lot of them when in Cuba, saving the better ones for the evenings or taking home, but I think you have described my exact take on them, nothing special, lacking a bit of flavour but a comfortable smoke.
