Quintero Brevas is a type of Habano cigar that hails from the Vuelta Abajo region in Cuba. It is manufactured under the Quintero y Hermano brand, a well-regarded name in the Cuban cigar industry that has been in operation since the 1920s.
The Quintero Brevas is known as a "short filler" cigar, which means it is made from a mix of chopped tobacco leaves rather than whole leaves. This is in contrast to "long filler" cigars that use whole tobacco leaves for the filler. The use of chopped leaves typically allows these cigars to be more affordable compared to their long filler counterparts.
The Quintero Brevas is considered a medium-bodied cigar, delivering a balanced mix of flavour and strength. It has an excellent draw and a steady burn, with flavour notes of earth, cedar, and spice that are characteristic of Cuban tobaccos.
This cigar is roughly 5.5 inches long with a 40 ring gauge (a measure of the cigar's diameter, where one ring gauge is equal to 1/64th of an inch), making it a relatively standard size known as a "corona." The Quintero Brevas is typically appreciated for its consistent quality and affordability, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned cigar aficionados.
