Testing Out The Ritual Cigars Conquistador Natural
The Ritual Cigars Testing Out The Ritual Cigars Conquistador Natural is a medium, Connecticut Shade-wrapped Gordo out of Dominican Republic, reviewed in full below — specs, tasting notes by thirds, pairing, burn, and draw. It scored 80/100 on our board: The Pass — “i wouldn't pick this up again.”
Tasting notes
Opens with bright cedar and oak notes, alongside a creamy mouthfeel and faint sweetness like caramel crème.
Develops deeper flavors of roasted nuts and cocoa nibs, with very subtle hints of white pepper spice.
Burn: Despite being a "mixed-filler" cigar, it is designed for a slow, cool burn that maximizes its creamy flavor profile without becoming harsh
Draw: Before lighting, you’ll typically get notes of sweet hay, cedar, and a faint floral scent.
Construction: The "Cuban Sandwich": It is a mixed-filler cigar, meaning it uses high-quality scraps from their premium lines. While this is less prestigious than long-filler, the construction is incredibly consistent, avoiding the "voids" or "plugs" found in cheaper brands.
