I smoked the Quintero panetela (5 x 36, BWC#2) this morning on my balcony with a cup of strong, black coffee. I went into this cigar with no intention of "thinking" about it or writing a review. When I went back inside my apartment after smoking I grabbed my notebook just to jot down a few notes and archive the label and I soon found that I had an entire page written about this cigar. (Sorry, no pictures)

This Quintero has been sitting in my tupperdor for 2 months. It began with a firm draw that quickly became "just right". It had a very pleasant aroma. The first inch or two had a sour, albeit not unpleasant twinge. There was a very slight salty flavor to it. The panetela put out ample amounts of smoke and burned quite evenly. It required one purge in the final third. This cigar burned incredibly cool and flavorful down to the very end. The ash seemed a bit darker than BW's pics and the wrapper unraveled just a little in the first third but it turned out to be a non-issue. Overall, I found this Quintero panetela to be an awesome smoke and a great way to start the day.
