Description
The JOSÉ L. PIEDRA Brevas was released in 1996 and is a current production cigar. The JOSÉ L. PIEDRA cigars are hand-rolled with leaves from the Vuelta Arriba producing region which is located to the east of Cuba. The Piedra family, from Asturias, was established in the late nineteenth century in the neighbourhood of Santa Clara.
Construction-wise, the cigar has an excellent draw after a simple straight cut and plenty of smoke. Among a redesign of the logo and the band, Habanos is also moving away from the 25 cigars bundle in preference to a 12 cigars bundle.
Taste Note
The aroma from the wrapper and foot is a combination of barnyard, earth, leather, cedar, hay, cocoa nibs, espresso beans and slight cinnamon, while the cold draw brings subdued flavours of dry peanut shells, leather tack, aged cedar, white pepper, dark chocolate and light vanilla sweetness.
