Foundation Olmec toro, what a interesting smoke! Firstly construction and the burn was phenomenal throughout the cigar no top ups needed. On the first third wasn't sure if I was going to like it was definitely white pepper and a cold note bitter maybe, but into the second third it warmed up lovely definitely a sweetness, a Coco note but deep which surprised me, the last third was deep the sweetness was there but more of a deep coffee note, lovely I smoked it until the last inch and couldn't physically hold it anymore. Don't be put off by the 4 stars it was just the opening third I wasn't keen on, but other than that a beautiful smoke.

What a nice surprise this cigar was, Really nice medium flavoured with plenty of smoke.
It burnt very well and held the ash well. The further down you smoke this the smoother but fuller flavour it becomes and close to the nub its real tasty.
Nice way to spend 90 minutes. (I am a slow smoker).
Dont be fooled by the darkness of the wrapper its a medium smoke and and is enjoyable too.
Must get more.

I thought I would wait a few months after purchase before reviewing this humidor. I can now say unequivocally that this is a very good humidor. I have had 3 x 60g 65% boveda packs in this since August. Now 4 months later and the humidy has stayed consistently between 67 and 67.5%. The 65% boveda packs are almost perfect and don't seem to have lost much moisture. This tells me that the seal on this humidor and overall build quality is very impressive. I get between 70 and 80 cigars into it consisting of a mix of sizes but mainly toro and robusto. For the £200 - £300 mark you will not get better than this in my opinion. It looks like my boveda packs will last 6 - 9 months in this humidor which is crazy!

50 minute smoke time with flavours of Earth, Wood and a hint of spice.
Bands came away with no issues and the burn line was decent with no touch ups needed.
Smoked to the nub where it was just a lovely easy smoke with fuller flavours of the same with plumes of satisfying smoke.

Conquistador Toro Cigar - 1 Single
by simon
This for me was a 70 minute smoke with no issues, even burn and decent amount of smoke all the way to the nub.
Flavours I got where woody, earthy with some spice and a good amount of smoke.
Will keep a couple in my humidor and see what they are like in a few months time.

I'm easing my way back into cigars after a on/off 10 year hiatus. I don't smoke anymore so they sort of fell to the wayside and bar a few sticks in holiday over the years I've not really indulged. Since the price of Cubans has gone up quite a lot in the last 10 years I decided to dip my toe in the 'New World' arena of smokes. This cigar was my first try and I was very pleasantly surprised. First off, clearly been stored perfectly. It was springy yet firm to the touch and smelt great. On first light it was quite bitter and I could tell that there was an underlying flavour there but the bitterness was rather over powering. However, after about 5 mins the cigar completely changed and became almost toffee/caramel tasting and really got better the further down I smoked it. The last third was powerful and rich, very woody with hints of earth and tasted like I was smoking nature, which was incredible. I have another one with the darker wrapper which I'll have at a party next week. I only hope it is as good.
