Conquistador Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Damian
I might give this one another pass considering other favourable reviews but other than good construction (if a tad loose) this was a rather unpleasant smoke on this occasion.
First inch or so was uncharacteristically harsh, almost breathtakingly so and the waves of soapy smoke carried similar sharp, unpleasant whiff of tobacco, grass and wood, mixed into soul crushing scattered blend of flavours.
It developed further and relaxed somewhat but this remained a much heavier cigar than expected and without ever really earning stripes for being full bodied.
Some flavours certainly appeal to particular smokers but I will wait a while before trying Conquistador again even if pound for pound this is indeed a lot of fairly well made cigar.

Nice little smoke. Was one in a sampler I got for Xmas. Enjoyed while the Mrs was cooking the turkey. A nice 30 min smoke. It was a pleasant su prise in the pack. I'm ordering more.

I had this cigar on new years eve and it is without doubt the best cigar i have smoked to date. Perfect draw and burn and flavours too. It also goes amazingly with a glass or 3 of highland park whisky.

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single

One of my favourite budget cigars! It's really worth all the money, a nice smoke for 30-35 min. I really enjoyed and definitely recommended

The entire Winston Churchill selection from Davidoff is worth experiencing but Late Hour shaped to be something special from the get go.
Between the robusto and its longer brethren it is the Churchill that provides the definitive smoke largely due to the size and the impressive physical statue. Pleasure derived from cutting and lighting up this cigar as well as simply handling its deep brown coloured wrapper and the sheer weight of the stick itself is somewhat majestic.
This smoker would certainly agree with some other opinions that the taste is consistent throughout its lenght with coffee and chocolate persistent but enveloped in unmistakable sharp grain resulting from ageing tobacco in whisky barrels.
It is as satisfactory as sipping a good malt and certainly unique. This is one to respect and enjoy in peace and almost katharctic. If not for the immediacy it provokes with its flawless presentation I'd be keen to store and see how it refines in a humidor.
Definitely worth ones consideration if the inherent strength and complexity can be overcome for those who prefer milder c

I love these little beauties, they are perfect for a mid day smoke when you don't have time to commit to a larger cigar. They last around 30 minutes and are to me a very good stick. They are quite mild in flavour which suits me just fine at mid day, the draw is very good with lots of smoke. When lit they are no trouble at all, good even burn and can be left without the need to relight. Ok they are not Cuban quality, but are non the less quite good, and at just short of £50 for a box of ten I consider them excellent value.
