I am not normally a fan of cigarillos this size but this is a great little smoke with a surprising amount of flavour. Fuller-bodied but smooth with some spicy notes. I even detected at times a nuttiness (a characteristic which I enjoy in larger premium cigars). Full marks here to Dannemann - sometimes good things come in small packages and this is one is a gem. With a coffee a perfect short break.

One of the best English blends I've tried I hope there's one just as strong as night cap

This is one of the Tobacco that gives you the Promise of the Tin Note. Right from the very first down to the bottom of the Bowl.
If you go Gentle, you will be treated to a full Coconut flour.
And a very pleasant room Note.
Highly recommended this Blend👌

It will never be better than something like a Trinidad short but for this price it really ain’t bad!

Beautiful looking cigar, smell off the cigar upon inspection was faint... just a hint of manure.
Draw was excellent... almost Padron level... very easy comfotable draw.
Needed a slight touch up once when smoking but overall good performance.
Burnt nice and slow.
First third was surprisingly very mild, creamy, light sweetness... not just a tobacco sweetness, also of some kind spirit, like a cognac. Are these aged in cognac barrels? No real spice, pepper or earth to be found. 2nd third much like the 1st.
Final third classic Opus flavours creep in, earthy, leathery, spice and i start to enjoy the stick but its there with a subtleness and sweetness...
Clearly this is a well aged cigar but too delicate for my tastes.
I think the standard Opus X is more enjoyable and i smoked a Short Story after this and enjoyed that a lot more. Forbidden X might be ideal for people who may not enjoy the harshness or strength of a standard Opus X.

Conquistador Short Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by William
Started off extremely bitter for me but toasting helped open it up. The flavours developed into something very pleasant with quite a kick. Very pleasant - the type of cigar that stirs the soul!
