Conquistador Robusto Maduro Cigar - 1 Single

This is an excellent stick. The construction is perfect. Held the ash brilliantly and burnt even throughout. Dark chocolate with slight pepper on the retro hale. For the price this is amazing value. Paired mine with Auchentoshan single malt and went really well together. Lasted an hour.

This cigar lasted 1 hour the construction and qaulity is fantastic, Great draw lovely white thick smoke, First 3rd is filled with dark chocolate maybe a hint of caramel, 2nd third You start to taste hints of Pepper and cinnamon with a base of chocolate this continues and gets stronger in the last 3rd there was more development and more flavours in the last 3rd but my pallet isn?t experienced enough to say what the flavours are, This cigar is fantastic and i wish it was for me but the flavours aren?t my thing! Think this would be suited to a nice cup of coffee. I wish my Preferred cigars possessed some of the amazing qualities that this cigar does! If you are into the flavours above you will love this cigar and for ?10 it?s qaulity and smoke time is Hard to beat!!

Good for price lasted 1 hour and didnt taste bad at all.

Score: 5/10 Smoke time: 65 minutes **First Third:** The cigar begins with an easy draw, offering a full-bodied earthy flavor reminiscent of dark roast coffee. While the flavors are not particularly refined or deep, they provide a pleasant experience. There is a subtle touch of berry that adds a hint of sweetness to the profile. However, the burn is uneven and requires correction with a lighter. The smoke is notably light and thin, lacking the thick and dense quality often associated with premium cigars. **Second Third:** As the cigar progresses into the second third, a new flavor note of bitter chocolate emerges, adding a layer of complexity to the tasting experience. The ash forms a good tight chimney, indicating a well-constructed cigar in terms of burn and ash retention. The burn remains at a low temperature, which is preferable for a smooth smoking experience. Despite these positive aspects, the quality of the tobacco is somewhat lacking, which slightly detracts from the overall enjoyment. **Last Third:** In the final third, the flavor profile deteriorates slightly, with a noticeable chemical taste emerging as the cigar continues to burn. This chemical note mars the experience, making it less enjoyable. Overall, while the cigar was acceptable for its price point, it fell short in delivering a consistently enjoyable experience throughout its duration. **Conclusion:** This cigar offers a straightforward smoking experience with an easy draw and a pleasant, albeit not complex, flavor profile in the first third. The emergence of bitter chocolate in the second third adds some interest, but the overall quality of the tobacco and the unpleasant chemical taste in the final third diminish the overall satisfaction. At ?10, it provides a decent smoke for the price, but there are clear areas for improvement in both flavor complexity and tobacco quality.

Very satisfying smoke with nice flavours, very good for the price and highly recommended. Will certainly purchase again.
