Petit Quintero

Have a Cigar: Quintero Petit Quintero

Name: Quintero Petit Quintero

Country: Cuba

Size: (4 1/8 inches x 43)

Strength: Mild to Medium

Easy to smoke, small, mild-to-medium in strength. The Petit Quintero did its job when it was paired with an espresso. It’s an affordable Cuban cigar that promises a good 30-minute break.

I may not smoke this cigar again because I have other preferences. But I have to say that the overall experience was not disappointing.

The doorbell rings.
You let the old friend in.

“Come in, come in!
Where have you been?
Come in, old friend,
and have a cigar.”

He comes with a gift
— a bottle of Scotch.
“Thank you!
You didn’t have to!
I’ll open it now!”

You bring him the humidor.
“Here,” you say,
“Choose one that you love.”
“You have good taste,” he says,
“Please, choose one for me.”

You light one up,
and he lights one up.
You pour the Scotch,
and then you pour some rum.

Politics,
philosophy,
work,
and women.

You drink, you smoke, you talk,
you talk
until the night ends.

Quorum Classic Corona on the Balcony

Name: Quorum Classic Corona

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Parejo

Size: (5 1/2 inches x 43)

Strength: Mild to Medium

I’ve tried budget cigars, premium cigars, and luxury cigars. And I’ve smoked cigars made in Cuba, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. I’ve probably also smoked cigars made in countries I can’t remember right now. But no matter how many cigars I try, I will never forget my love for Quorum. It’s one of the first cigars I fell in love with, and that’s why it will always have a special place in my heart.

These days, I don’t smoke a lot of them anymore. Every now and then, however, when I get the chance to light one up, I do.

To me, smoking a Quorum Classic is like hanging out with a childhood friend.

It’s a good cigar.
