Review Notes: It's pretty simple, the Criollos are -different- but not ridiculous. This wrapper is more like frog skin than tobacco but pure luxury and actual taste is all you get out of it. When this smoke is on the tongue, you feel like you've finished off a blackened tilapia dish with a side of remoulade. CAO is always spot on with construction, but the Conquistador is certainly superior to the rest of the line's sizes. I certainly don't think this cigar was test marketed, as it's more of a challenge to a cigar smoker to appreciate versus being spoon fed to you in with a $15 cuban sounding name. Worth every penny.
