Quinteros

Looking around at prices and I've noticed that Quinteros are very cheap. Anyone know why? Are they machine-made? Bad?

Machine made, from what I've read they are a good smoke for the $. Have a fiver aging right now.

Quinteros are great cigars but they are strong.

Had one of these on Saturday and I thought it was a pretty decent smoke. I am not very good at decerning individual tastes or flavors but I thought it had a very unique taste. Great aroma, burned well and it was a very pleasant smoke.

I thought it tasted a bit like an Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona, IMHO

How would you compare them to Piedras in terms of strength Bill?

Personally I think the Quinteros are a little stronger but that's probably mostly because the Quinteros I've been smoking lately are Arpil, 2004 :0

In my experience, the Quinteros burn better and the Jose Piedras are a slightly "harsher"

That may have just sounded stupid but I measure "strength" in terms of the nicotine content, etc. and when I say "harsh" I mean that it burns hot which may be caused by the fact that the Jose Piedras I've smoked in the past may have been on the dry side.
