Review notes: Classic fantastic medium smoke!
Perfectly smooth wrapper & delicious looking wrapper, even better all around construction. Firm white ash, almost 2 1/2 inches before I knocked it off.
Tons of smoke starting with a nice bit of spice, then moved to a classic cuban smoke, then moving into a sweet floral bouquet. Flavor lingered quite some time, what more could you ask from an approx hour long smoke?
I always try & order a few singles when I place an order from Cuban Lou's, and I highly recommend it. Especially if there are brands and formats you have yet to try. Lou's singles are what attracted me to the site and the service from Kevin coupled w/quality cigars has me loyal! |

Review notes: I experienced the Short Churchill for 1st time in Sept with purchase down in Cabo at J&J's. This was the finest and most enjoyable smoke I've ever had, so I ordered a box from Lou. I can't give these an absolute perfect 10 because they are just a touch harsher than my initial experience, however, it hasn't prevented me from enjoying every one of the four I've had from this box. The price was less than half of what I paid in Mexico and probably 65% less than similar Canadian purchases I've made. Although not an expert, these are probably the best value per smoke I've encountered. Expect that they won't last long enough to see if added aging smoothes them out just a 'touch' more. I love the even draw and long lasting pleasure of this R&J cigar. The price and speed of Cuban Lou's delivery is also incredible. |

Review notes: Very well made with a slight box press. Good draw and plenty of smoke volume. Looks fabulous and on a nice summer afternoon, it is my choice with a light Campari & Soda. They have a great feel in the hand and are very smooth with a great aroma. Burn in excellent. I just wish they were an inch longer. I hate to see it go so soon. |

Review notes: Pre light aroma is distinctly Cuban.
To me the Robusto size is the best it can get.
50's just seem to burn right.
Smooth but very flavorful so any beginner or experienced hand will find something to love about it.
Double band puts it over the top.
This has become one of my first choices when opening the humidor and I actually have to make myself smoke something else not to burn right through them.
If you have the means buy 2 boxes....one to smoke and one to age....if you can keep your hands off them. |

Review notes: This robusto is very well made, one of the most gorgeous cigars I've seen. It always draws well, and produces huge amount of smoke. It is full of sweet cherry flavors, spicy leather flavors, and again a ripe fruit note on the finish. With some age, it could be a classic. Highly recommend. |

Review notes: Just writing this makes me want to grab my lighter and head to the pool for a nice smoke. It was exception from first to last draw. Very complex and spicy! Great draw and it held a perfect ash. Didn't need to keep in humidor long(to tell the truth I could wait) Tell only problem with this cigar is that I will eventually burn out. Thank you Lou!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Review notes: Normally, I would've rated a smoke similar to this as an overall 7 or 8 but due to the fantastic pricing, this scores a perfect 10 for value. Overall apperance of the cigars were above average, a bit too veiny for me and they lack the velvetty touch of the super-premiums like the Siglos. I was particularly impressed that they were good right out of the box. I typically push my smokes for another 3 months in a humidor before trying but these are an exception.
The flavor is light but distinct, very smooth on the draw and has an enjoyable flavor after exhaling. I would suggest pairing this smoke with either a good tawny Port or perhaps a smooth scotch. Anything stronger and you'll lose the flavor of the cigar.
One last suggestion, use a very shallow cut on this cigar perhaps even avoid using a cutter and move to a lighter with a circular cutting blade on the end. I feel that the cigar is a bit too loosely packed and inhalation gets very hot if you cut it too much. Maybe just a bad apple in the bunch. |

Review notes: Very nice medium strength cigar. No complaints. Sorry guys I'm not sophisticated enough to use words like; chocolate, woody, licorice or leather when describing the taste. Let me try; It taste GOOD. Buy a damn box from our friends here. That gift you were gonna get for your old lady. Forget her. Buy Cigars instead from Cuban Lou's. I never thought that I had obsessive compulsive disorder until I found this site. |

Review notes: This was my first time with these beautiful cigars, to my suprise it started with a really tough draw so I figured it to be a wasted smoke, was I ever wrong it loosened up about a quarter of the way down & turned out to be an amazing smoke. A little time in the Humidor will do this smoke wonders. Two thumbs up!!! |

Review notes: This cigar is a teaser. It is loaded with flavor. I found it to be woody at the start and turing to almost a licorice in the middle. The finish takes to the woody and licorice and ads leather. It's a nice cigar. My only caution is to age it a bit. When I initially purchased them, they were young. Their youth came across as a bit green with a slight amonia tinge.
I let them sit for six months. Now, they are great and I think they can only get better with time. Give them a try! |

Review notes: This is the most incredible cigar I've ever smoked. My mouth waters just thinking about them. There are times when I want to do is just smell them. The aroma is fantastic. What makes these superior cigars? Well, I think it's the way they are constructed. The burn in unbelievable. Each draw is delicious and even the way they just sit in your hand is amazing. If you get a chance try one I promose the experience with keep you coming back for more. |

Review notes: This has got to be one of the most beautiful Habanos that I have ever seen! A very silky smooth wrapper with no veins, plenty of oil and a smell to die for. Even the caps are perfect. Prelight draw and aroma was wonderful. Once firing this up, it was all over. They are still young, but they are great sticks. Age will do them well, but out of the box they are great! Had tastes of leather and spice but not pepper. It was never harsh and lacked the harshness so common in most new Habanos. Do yourself a favor and give em a try!
