The story behind Quintero
Quintero is one of Cuba's most storied marcas — every cigar hand-rolled in Havana from sun-grown Vuelta Abajo leaf, aged and crafted by master torcedores under the official Habanos S.A. seal.
It's not just a cigar. It's an experience reserved for the true connoisseur.
Every Quintero Imperial is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
The Quintero Imperial carries the easygoing spirit that has defined this Cuban house since Agustin Quintero and his brothers opened their small factory in Cienfuegos back in 1924. Built in the elegant Lonsdale shape, this cigar keeps things refined rather than overpowering, drawing on tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo and Semi Vuelta regions of Pinar del Rio. It is a format prized for its slender silhouette and long, unhurried burn, a classic profile that rewards patience.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans gentle and clean, with toasted tobacco and a soft cedar note setting the tone. As you move into the middle, the smoke broadens slightly, introducing a light herbal character alongside a faint sweetness that keeps the palate engaged without ever turning heavy. By the final third the cigar settles into a warm, earthy finish, holding its mild to medium body steady right through to the band.
Pairings
A lightly aged Cuban rum, whose subtle sweetness echoes the cigar’s herbal lift
A cup of black coffee or espresso to underline the toasted tobacco core
A glass of cold, crisp lager for a relaxed afternoon smoke
Aging and storage
Like most Cuban cigars, the Imperial benefits from steady storage in a well seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a temperature near 18 degrees Celsius. While this is an approachable smoke that drinks well young, a few months of rest can round off any youthful edges and let the cedar and herbal notes knit together. Keep the cigars boxed and undisturbed, checking your hygrometer regularly to maintain consistency.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the smoker who values balance over intensity. Newcomers will appreciate how forgiving and smooth it smokes, while experienced aficionados often reach for a mild to medium Lonsdale like this one as a daytime companion or a measured way to ease into the evening. If you enjoy the slow ritual of a longer, slimmer format without a heavy nicotine punch, the Imperial fits the bill nicely.

Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Cuban Cigar Quintero Imperial delivered on flavor (cedar and spice) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.
