Robusto 5x50
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
A tea brown leathery wrapper covers this cigar, truly a beauty in craftmanship. The unlit cigar delivers a scent of cocao and suede. The draw is a bit on the loose side. a Prelight draw hums with the tasts of Leather and spice. This cifar would benefit from a punch as opposed to a cutter.
The cigar lights evenly though the burn is a bit on the uneven side at times but it will correct itself with little difficulty. The ash is a nice stiff white ash that can actully reach an inch length. The draw is really almost too
easy making this cigar a bit on the difficult side to smoke.
The smoke is a nice white rich smoke that delivers a nutty spicy leather taste. The nuttiness will give way to a woodsy spicy flavor that remains til the end. About halfway through the smoke the spiciness reaches an
almost astringent level, leaving a peculiar harshness not so much in the throat but in the nostrils. This medium body cigar caries a six dollar per stick price. This cigar benefits greatly from some further aging, as such
I would only recommend this to those advanced smokers with the patience to let them properly sleep in their humidors. Though realistically this cigar was just that a cigar, nothing impressionable about it.
