Quick Smoke: Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino Sungrown No. 1
2 Aug 2009
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
This Churchill-sized smoke (7 x 49) remains my favorite vitola in the Centro Fino Sungrown blend. With notes of wood, earth, nuts, and milk chocolate, it is well-suited for a weekend afternoon at home or on the golf course. And its excellent combustion qualities—including a sturdy white ash—only enhance the experience. At $6-8 a pop, I’m always happy to keep a few of these on hand.
Verdict = Buy.

Got one of these in a sampler, and found it to be not bad, but pretty one-dimensional. 6-8 sounds like a lot to spend, though. Lots of great sticks around at that price…
