I received this cigar a few months ago as part of a subscription package. I was carrying out a stock check of my humidor and found it .
So as the weather isn’t great I decided to try it out.
Now I tend to smoke New World - Robusto - Toro’s or Lancero’s, so not my normal smoke .
The construction was OK. and it had been well rested at the correct humidity.
A lot of black pepper on the cold draw and it toasted nicely
Then from the very start, a bitter very bitter and very unpleasant taste that lingered in the mouth after 5 minutes it went in the Bin .

This cigar came as my mystery cigar and initially I was very happy about this. I’m not one to judge a cigar by the size as I smoked many smaller cigars that have been outstanding.
Upon first light I smoked through the closed foot which was spicy and woody. I found this pleasant. As I got into the first third of the cigar it already had a heavy bitterness that you may find at the very end of any other cigar. This bitterness increased in intensity as I smoked through the cigar and found myself regularly reaching for my coffee to balance out the taste. I didn’t get many tasting notes from this cigar apart from bitter burnt notes, heavy antique wood notes and the occasional burnt caramel.
One silver lining of this cigar is the construction. I was able to smoke the cigar without ashing it and even managed to stand it up on its ash when I was finished with it.
Overall I was disappointed by the cigar and would not smoke it again.

This cigar is a bit of a mixed bag now. Construction is sometimes a bit hit and miss and rustic. That said, it packs a bit of a punch and has a decent 'cedar' taste. I found a nice, easy draw and easy burn. I bought these on a deal and am satisfied with that, so if you want something at the cheaper end of the market and are not desperately fussy, then get them when on offer. There are far worse.

Fratello Classico Fuoco Cigar - 1 Single
by Tomasz
Firstly I must say this is a small cigar, but it looks really good, label, pig tail and closed foot maks it look really good. Said that it's the best thing about it.
Strength! It is a strong cigar I don't mind strong cigars but this one is... To over powering.
Construction. The one I got was very firmly rolled
And didn't burn even at all for just under 4 inch I had to correct it multiple times. So all the way I had to pay attention to how it burns.
Flavour. It wasn't bad but nothing special the strength was so overwhelming I didn't enjoy it as a matter of fact I would not buy it for a fiver (price of it is over 15 pound I do not recommend it, maybe it's just the one I got that happens but there's a lot better cigars.
Took me over 45 minutes to smoke but I had to relight it twice
One of the worst cigars I ever had, actually I can only remember one cigar that was as bad

Conquistador Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Surprisingly good smoke, had a good burn and solid draw. Smell was pleasant and the taste was on the mild side but not bland or tasteless. 2nd and 3rd act where the best in my opinion. I will be buying this one again I'm sure.

I found this a fairly mild cigar, slightly tight draw but not too much. Burned well, no need for me to touch it up or relight. Flavour wise i think leather and woodyness, but pretty subtle, building toward the end.
