KWG116 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hey Cliff, I have had two different experiences with Piedra's. My first one was terrible, I think a friend gave it to me. I never thought I would smoke another. About three months I received three five packs for free. I thought nothing of them and threw them in my humidor. A few weeks later I took them out for a get together. They look really rough, but they had a fantastic flavor. It is nothing like a Monte or a Cohiba, but for the price they are pretty good. Very earthy and a little on the rough side. Somke of them had loose draws, but overall I think you should try them. Good Luck Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhound Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 They are ok for a yard gar, in my opinion. I'll smoke them at work, or when I'm working in the yard. They will give you that Cuban flavor, but for when a good cigar really matters I'm not looking for anything in their line. Worth trying to see for yourself, and hey..... if you like them.... by all means smoke them. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB24 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, a few bundles of those might be nice to have as everyday smokes, smokes to give to guests that don't know much about cigars (all they'll care about is that it comes from Cuba), and smokes where you want to be smoking something but don't have the time nor the attention span to sit down and pay attention to the flavors and body of the cigar. To each his own!! -Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafa Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 A lot much better than the other lines of JLP. There's no comparison. Little big bombs. A very good choice for the value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Never cared for the Piedras, but since oyu're buying them, the important thing is that YOU like them. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliff Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 when I look at all the names of cigars that have been posted here I feel embarassed to ask your opinion about jose L Piedra... I've only recently started smoking those and I like the petit casadores, they are better made than the others (nationales, conservas, and the cremas) also the leaf is darker, I think it's colorodo-maduro / maduro... what's your opinion about these?

cliff Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 thanks for the reply's, there are some that are indeed rough, but overall they are nice made... they give indeed that nice cuban taste, perfect to do the lawn or other work. :-D I recently bought a bunch (with the nice collectors can) and the smell was incredible, very strong and tasty.
