Savinelli Rico Y Raro Series Y
I wouldn't have bought this smoke except that I found it in a bargain bin. After seeing that the Savinelli Special Editions were so well reviewed I gave it a try.
It's not my typical smoke. Very Ligero. A strong cigar but I found it to be very good. Complex flavor heavy on the wood side of the spectrum. But it changed quite a bit as I smoked it. Not a cigar to power smoke. Take yer time and have a full stomach when you spark it. It's got a lot of nicotine and it will leave yer head spinning but it is a quality smoke. Burn was perfect and by the time I reached the last third of the cigar it had developed a nice toasty wood and caramel flavor. Very nice.
I had the double Robusto. I'd say it's at least an hour smoke to do it justice. Prolly pair up nice with some Scotch, Bourbon or Brandy.
