Jose L Piedra Conservas Cigar - 1 Single
by Jennifer
I have to disagree strongly with a lot of the reviews here. Those who say this is a tasteless or bland cigar must prefer the stronger Cubans or maybe darker/(richer) tobacco. I personally love these. They deliver a mild grassy flavour at first but by a third of the way through it starts to develop into a lovely medium, creamy, nutty and earthy flavour that continues right to the nub. These are also the perfect size if you're like me and prefer a strong cigar in a smaller package like a petit corona to corona vitola. The wrappers on these are rather scruffy but not too bad. You get what you pay for and they're certainly a contender for other similarly priced cigars. A great humidor filler and 50min to 1.15 hour smoke!

Earlier this year my review of this cigar was not favourable due to it being plugged. The replacement was so different I felt a new review was in order. This example was extremely well behaved and didn't go out once. I take back what I said about the lack of flavour - this one was a very nice smoke with plenty of Cuban must and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would now consider buying more of these in the future.

Simply delightful for the money, excellent smoke and no complaints! If you want an inexpensive short Cuban fix, look no further, may not be overly complex in flavour but has a lovely draw and a smoothness to the end!

I agree with everything all the other reviews have said about this cigar for the price it is an absolute steal. I got it in the budget small cuban sampler which also includes some big names but this stood out and I will be buying more of these to fill up the humidor.

What a fantastic cigar - especially for such a low price tag!
Upon cutting it and testing the airflow I thought it may be heavy on the draw but that has not been the case when lit. Thick satisfying smoke and a rich strong flavour. It's quite reminiscent of the La Flor Dominicana in flavour and a very steady burn. So far I am 40 minutes in with a cup of tea and it's been a real pleasure.
Great service as well - I will return to this one again.

Nice cigar, lots of great sweet dark flavours seems to get sweeter as you burn down it. I had a few burn issues due to some quite large stems in the wrapper, but nothing major.
