About Jose L Piedra Cigars
Made from Remedios (Cuba’s oldest tobacco producing region) tobaccos using the traditional Tripa Corta, Totalmente a Mano – short filler, totally hand made – technique with a blend that provides a medium to full flavor.

Hand made great hints of cream slow buring , if you got 20 25 mins to spare this is a great flavorfull cigar.

I originally thought these were a smaller cigarillo and when they showed up i was surprised to see they are actually a full cigar. For a box of 5 at 28.00, with a nice smooth cuban flavor, ill be buying these whenever i can.

I found this cigar left a bad flavor in my mouth, I had to relight it several times and gave up halfway through. The initial flavor is mild and pleasant but very static.
Will smoke my 4 remaining ones doing lawn maintenance or around a campfire. Too mild, poor burn. I did hear aging them helps.

I debated for awhile whether to write a review. I’d rather keep these cigars a secret so they stay in stock. Seriously though, I was on a quest to find the best affordable Cuban. On this site there are several options for under $10 but this one has been the best. The JP Cremas have a great, mild flavour and a 30 minute burn. After having a few and being impressed with each one, I ordered some more. For a special occasion, I’ll have a Montecristo or a Martin Brodeur, however, for hunting, fishing, or sitting on the deck, I would say the Crema is now my go to. The price is hard to beat and I’m impressed with the quality. For those reasons I give the Jose Piedra Cremas a 5/5.

Well these are great cigars burn was perfect, taste is comparable to a Romeo s Juliette week made and I am totally satisfied. I will be buying more for sure and highly recommend this budget Cuban

Wasn’t quite sure what to expect given the reviews. Have only had one of them out of the bundle so far, but initial impression were not much on the nose initially. First third was slightly frustrating, requiring 3 or 4 re-lights. Thin flavor, mostly black pepper and leather, with a tight draw. Once into about the second 1/3rd however, it really opened up. Very pleasant, lots of cream, with a much fuller mouth feel, much more even burn. Enjoyed it so much, I took it down as far as possible and still hold it. Do agree there’s a distinct aftertaste, but for me it’s more ‘Hey! That was a pleasant smoke last night’ than bad flavor. Will be back for more if the rest of this bundle is similar.

Bought a batch of these and every one was an awful burn. I struggled to keep em lit. Basically a waste of time and money

I’ve tried these a few times now, each time has been disappointing. Even after aging, no improvement. The taste was alright but every single one had terrible draw, needed multiple relights and was overall not good value. For this price or even a couple of bucks more, you can find a solid budget stick.

Probably the best budget cuban you can get. Great smoke, smooth classic cuban taste. But may have a couple sticks that don’t burn evenly or rolled to tight to draw (If purchasing a box). But worth the buy if you have a poke and some patience.

These were enjoyable cigars, very pleasant smoke.
Smooth, even burn. Sit around the fire, some fine bourbon, relaxing.
Light creamy tastes, good starter cigar.
