Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

If you’re looking for a smooth, satisfying mild smoke, La Princesa de Cuba should be on your shopping list. The latest cigar from Victor de la Cruz, this time with a lovely Connecticut shade-grown wrapper from Ecuador, has a warm, light tobacco taste with a delicate finish. The six and 1/2 inch by 52 ring gauge stick burned slowly, and produced rich smoke and a crumbly ash.

Verdict = Buy.
