Diplomaticos (Cuba) No. 5

Smoked on this afternoon. Not sure of the box code, picked it up at the local LCDH a week ago and let rest in my humi. Safe to say about a year of age on it give or take.

Nice looking small cigar, well put together. Found the first few draws harsh, settled into a good but one dimensional smoke, a bit boring. Did burn well though, no touchups required.

Earthy with a touch of pepper and a hint of woody sweetness. Not the most sophisticated smoke, but it hits the spot. Every one from this 07 box has burned perfectly. Great for when you want a short smoke with a lot of flavor, and the price is definitely right.

This is a great morning smoke with coffee. Not strong but very flavorful. I highly recommend this cigar if you're either a newbie to CCs or if you need a quick smoke.

I had four boxes of these little fellows in the last three months. I prefer them over Monte#5 mostly because of their consistency and price.I found them ideal for a quick smoke day or night,nice aroma,satisfying strength and flavour,dark grey ash that wouldn't fell off.The construction was fine at least most of the time but i did encounter some tight draws on my last box that cooled down my enthusiasm. Anyway i will certainly buy them again.

A little firecracker that has a taste unlike any other Cuban brand...very distinctive, you will remember it each time you light a Dip up. This one had a toasty woody flavor with an in your face spice. Not for everyone, but if you like them this is a good vitola to try. Fairly straight burn and a smoke filled draw.

Nice tasty short smoke! Brown wrapper with minimal veins. Solid construction with a very slight box press without soft spots or voids. Nice prelight aroma. Easy light. Smooth draw. Razor sharp burn without the need for correction or relights. Gray ash. Started with tobacco and mild spice, which then blossomed into a complex medley of nuts, mild leather, wood, toasted tobacco, and mild spice with a hint of cinammon. Very nice 25 minute smoke with typical Diplo smoothness and flavor. VERY enjoyable, and a great "dog walker".

If you have 30 minutes, grab one of these little fellers.Great cuban flavor with some bite. A favorite of the wife and I. There definately on our buy list. A gift from a few gorillas that has become a go to smoke. Excellent smoke when time is at a premium and you still want a great smoke.

This is a solid little cigar for when you 're short of time but want full taste.

Excellent taste in a small package, tends to need attention throughout the smoke - leave it down for 3 minutes and it is out.... Burns a little hot towards the end.

Earthy taste all the way through. A good medium bodied cigar that was smooth until complete. Took about 35 or so minutes to smoke.

From the very nice wrapper, to the excellent draw, spicy beggining, and smooth finish, this is a most wonderful 30 - 35 minute smoke. A staple in my humidor for its value and for the quick Havana fix on cold nights!
