Quintero VS. Jose Piedra

[larrysputnik]

There's a bug on your avatar sir. Maybe it crawled out of an old Piedra?

A few years ago, I would have said: Quintero, more specificaly the Londres Extra.
But now if I had to make a choice I'd opt for the Piedra petit cazadore?

[tippexx]

Not sure if I should be ashamed or proud .... but, I've never smoked either of these. But I did smoke a Guantanamera Minutos in Turkey. Eeeeeeeeuck!

It's ok Larry, I was just having a "Larry" moment.

ugh...I know what those can be like...

Just having a bit of fun with this thread - it's a fun question to think about. No need to get defensive...

Piedras are the only smokes I've tried out of the two options you gave, so I would have to say they are what I would choose as a preference if I had to.

C was not an option given by the OP so make a choice or dont post, not that hard really. Before the elitism sets in again I'll also say Villagers & Swishers are classified as cigars as well and this is a cigar forum after all. I dont smoke them but each to their own.

Since the wife prefers JLP's then I'd have to say them. Reasonable yard cigars methinks but Quintero's are way over rated. At least a JLP is honest.

If you could only pick one between the two of these what would it be and why?

use an euphemism for say that it is a good race between cigars low quality.if i had to choose I would opt for slightly higher quintero organoleptically. But I think that while remaining on cigars as a second band could go on Fonseca much better quality and much more fun to smoke. Invictos,and n1 especially ...

Best

I might do for C too.

The Piedra I've had have been crappy. Any reason why it's between these two brands?

It's a line of questioning called "Worse or Worser?" It has only just begun. Soon we'll move on to "Villiger or Swisher Sweets?"

How about choice C - "shave my tastebuds off with a rusty razor."

Piedra IMO - just a better all round budget smoke...

Hey TJ, let me know when the new Piedra book comes out. But seriously im thinking about getting a box as humidor filler especially for my friends that like to chew cigars.

[daverave999]

To my recollection I've only smoked one of each, and going on that I'd plump for the JLP, simply because I found the wrapper on the Quintero a little too delicate for my mega-hands.

[EDIT] Flavourwise, I don't remember either being awful. Flip a coin!

How Does One Choose?

Hmmmm? Tough decision.


I've enjoyed both....some of the finest moments in my puro life!
