Haven't had those, I guess because they are priced just below Party Shorts / Bolivar CJ / RASCC - and Partagas Shorts are one one of my favourite smokes

While I'm here, let me add a few more smokes to the Budget Habanos comparison:
Quintero Panatela - Sep 06 - so that all the Vegueritos vitolla can be reviewed. Needs more time.
Quintero Brevas - date unknown(!) - but smoking well now.
Jose L.Piedras Cazadores - Jul 08

And a planned review schedule:
Feb 09 - Por Larraņaga Panatela at 1 year
May 09 - JLP Petit Cetros and RG Panatela Extra at 18 months
July 09 - Quintero Londres Extra at 2 years, Quintero Brevas
Aug 09 - JLP Cazadores and Petit Cazadores at 1 year, Por Larraņaga Panatela at 18 months.
Oct 09 - Quintero Panatela and JLP Conserva at 3 years
Nov 09 = JLP Petit Cetros and RG Panatela Extra at 2 years
