Jose L Piedra - Conservas - Single
Jose L Piedra - Conservas - Single
A single cigar, the ideal way to try this size before committing to a box.
A generous 44 ring gauge Conservas.
The Piedra family came to Cuba from Asturias in the 1880s and settled near Santa Clara, and the brand was founded by the second generation under José Lamadrid Piedra. José L. Piedra cigars are totally handmade with short filler from the Remedios region, and are classed by Habanos as medium to full in flavour: a rustic, great-value Habano.
Connoisseurs' notes
Published reviewers commonly describe the Conservas as having wood, earth and nuts with a mild, sweet spice.
