Can't fault the construction, the burn or the ash, all perfect. It's also a lovely looking cigar which feels great, the boxed press is perfect. But not for me flavour wise, very bitter, which I personally do not enjoy. Could be that I just don't get on with Dominican cigars. Had a couple for AVO which I didnt really enjoy either.

Had this In the humidor a couple of months. Thought I'd light it up tonight and so glad I did. Perfect burn, perfect draw, very mild with lots of sweetness. Overall a very enjoyable light smoke and I'll definitely have a few more for the humidor and hope they are all as good as this one!
Maybe I'll try the robusto as you'll be well over an hour with this one and If your torn between the 10th anniversary and this I'd recommend the 20th anniversary personally I found it far superior in taste.

Conquistador Toro Cigar - 1 Single
by Robert
Think I must have got a dud one. Split when I cut it, noting major but had to use the band to hold it together. Nice flavour, not too strong, decent draw and holds a decent ash. Slightly uneven burn but again nothing major. Will buy again to see if it was just a one off

i bought these in the January sale. I thought they were quite nice ,but found they were quite tightly rolled and hard to take a draw to begin with. The first bit seemed to burn unevenly ,but evened out halfway through.They get a bit hot near the end .

Currently smoking this cigar, I was supprised it didn't come in a cellophane like the rest.
Pros:
Taste is a 4/5, with the white pepper on retro hail, not too sure if I can taste the cedar, the almonds is very subtle and the coffee bean not so much. It a creamy cigar for its size. The cigar does smell of a warm leathery note aroma which is not strong, but very nice smell.
Cons:
Kept going off and the burn is not even but you can touch it up and rotate the cigar for it to even out. The construction is not bad, despite an ever so slight crack on wrapper (nothing major).
This cigar has a lot of potential to be a 4.5 stars, for enjoyment if I could give it a 3.5, however, the rating will allow me only a 3 stars. I am sure if I buy again I wouldn't have the issues with relighting it.
Despite the rating, I would still recommend it.

Half way through one of these. Lovely smoke. Great burn. Great ash. Great taste. Not too strong.
