Leafy Times » LGAR Round V: Dunhill Condado 6.00 x 48

Today I smoked the mild and tasty Dunhill Conado at lunch in the ongoing LGAR series. I wasn’t expecting much from this cigar for some reason. Perhaps because I hadn’t really heard any rave reviews about them that I could recall.

I was plesantly suprised. The Connecticut Shade wrapper on this near Dominican puro (It’s all dominican with a bit of brazillan filler thrown in) was veiny and bit rough. The contruction was great. Burn and draw were flawless throughout the entire cigar.

It’s a mild cigar that left a slightly bitter taste on the tounge. The aromas were floral at points and herby anise was present towards the end. I enjoyed this cigar throughout the duration.

So when I got back to my office to write this review, I thought I’d look up what these puppies cost. JR stocks them at $164.95 for a box of 25. That makes these $6.60 a piece when purchased in bulk. Although I liked this cigar while smoking it, it wasn’t good enough to justify the price. There are plenty of other cigars out there in the $6 - $7 price range that I would recommend. So that’s gonna drive the rating down on this cigar. I guess you’re paying for the brand name…
