Jose L Piedra Conservas Cigar - 5 Packs of 5 Cigars (25 cigars)

had 1 of these and wasn't happy with it at all. the draw was good but no flavours were poor,wont be getting it again

Very average cigar, just had one and it was okay.. I suppose its a cheaper cigar so you can't expect too much! nice draw/burn however really didn't enjoy the taste, a bit bitter and generally not overly pleasant.

I purchased a bundle of 25 Conservas 18 months ago. I got through 10 of them initially and have left the other 15 in the humidor. I would say the construction of the cigar was good compared to the Cazadores which I think has a rougher look. I was not initially impressed with the cigar and considered it a reasonable priced Cuban, not overly sophisticated. I decided to smoke one tonight and was very impressed with how the cigar had matured over the last 18 months. The pre-light draw was earthy and gritty, I noticed the draw was looser than I’m used to with more expensive Cuban’s. I put this down to it being a short fill cigar, I feel ageing these cigars does loosen and soften them up a touch. After lighting, I found it to be sweet and leathery, moving on to earthy coffee flavours. Half way through the cigar I found it similar to the monty no 4. The last third of the cigar developed into bitter citrus flavours with a rougher edge. I smoked this stick to the nub and thoroughly enjoyed it. Get 12 months plus on these and you won’t be dissapounted.

just had one of these and i think the previous reviews are a little unfair. OK it wasnt the best made cigar in the world and the wrapper was a little rough but it burnt well and evenly. It is not exactly sophisticated or top notch but what do you expect at this price? It was a good, light-hearted, uncomplicated, late night smoke. Good for the price! written by gerryg
