Great, I don't like spending much on Quintero as it is. I'm assuming this is is probably intended for Duty Free.

As for me, I just stick the Favoritos in D4 or Boli RC tubes.

They used to sell a tubulares in the UK that was basically a tubed quintero panatela. It is mentioned on cuban cigar website and still being sold by at least one UK vendor. I'm a bit of a quintero fan. Great value!

[sactochris]

My first Quintero was a Panatela  i bought at sautter's and my second was a Tubulares I bought from the Duty free at Heathrow just before I flew back to the states.

HSA announced it May the 30th and it was released even before! WOW I think someone made a mistake and will be fired in Cuba 

First time in the recent years?!?!

If only they made the same mistake with some of the missing RE and LE releases

Great packaging.....

[Bolismoker]

Looking forward to trying these out. Had a Favorito this afternoon. Quinteros are one of the best values around.

I enjoy the Favoritos great value for money, so will definitely give these a try.

Has anyone smoked these recently? What do you think for a cheap cigar?

Just ordered a 15-pack from a local dealer. I will check back with my impressions when they arrive. 

[anjimj]

That would be great. Thanks.

Just tried my first one the other day. Not bad at all. I haven't had a Favoritos in a long time so I can't compare, but the Tubulares was enjoyable. I scored it about an 89-90. It burned very rapidly but draw and construction was fine. 

The price point on these is almost there for me but not quite. It's just a tad longer than a Marevas and at over $4/stick, it's tough not to spend an extra $1.00-1.50/stick for a premium Marevas like RGPC or SPNP (or HUPC while it's still obtainable).

And as long as JLP Petit Cetros are still available which come in at $1.50-2.00/stick I can't really justify the QTs. And from what I hear, the Favoritos can be pretty decent, and at ~$3.00/stick for a Robusto, I think they're probably a much better value.

Correct. Not very good value, and as pointed out above, rather spend the same or slightly more to get much higher quality.

I cannot get Petit Cetros  but enjoy Cremas how do you find they compare ?

Here is a unique story about this brand that you might never know unless we are friends on FB.

My maiden name is Kwinter. It is part of my FB name so pre marriage peeps know who I am, see. All my life, folks type-o'd my name, Quinter.

When I first saw this cigar brand, I felt a family, kindred spirit.

LOL.

I've gone on record many times as stating I believe firmly that the Petit Cetros are head and shoulders above the rest of the JLP models. I find no other models compare, and I firmly believe they use superior tobacco and a different blend for the Petit Cetros. The only JLP I haven't smoked is the Cazadores, but I've had plenty of Petit Caz, and they all taste the same to me except for the Petit Cetros. Sadly, they've been discontinued but there's still some stock out there from trusted vendors including Rob.

Quintero Tubulares

TEA MAY 17

Got my delivery yesterday.

Here is my first impressions...

 

Extremely young and a bit over humidified.

Nice presentation.

Very pleasant aroma of sweet tobacco.

A rough wrapper but overall a really good construction with an even burn.

Mild bodied.

Sweet tobacco, honey and hints of orange peel.

Light on the nicotine.

Nothing complex, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This will make a perfect hand out cigar for any occasion and I belive it will be appreciated by both the seasoned cigar smokers as the occasional ones.

Thanks for the review.
