Appearance
A light brown colored wrapper with a few prominent veins. The seams are tightly wrapped and difficult to find. It has a nice oily sheen. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.
The band is very attractive.
Aroma
Cedar and spice on the wrapper. Cedar, hay and spice at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Black Licorice, dates, cedar, hay and spice.
1st
Initial draws bring notes of cedar and a hint of spice. There is some sweetness to the profile as well. The ash is salt&pepper gray and stacked. The draw is a bit snug. The burn is just about perfect. Strength is in the mild range. The ash held firm til removal.
2nd
Spice ramps up in strength and body. Smoke production is in the low end of medium range. Draw opens up. Strength is mild/med.
Final/3rd
Profile remains consistent through to the nub.
Overall
The La Conquista #5 Robusto Corojo provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A nice flavor profile with a snug draw a pretty good burn.
