Robusto "D" Reviews/Discussion

Jason · 02-10-2013, 10:09 PM

Aesthetics: 4.6
really handsome, D is the best looking of the lot by far, some might take points for viens I don't, not overly big. Nice natural dark wrapper and thick/sturday

Pre-light Construction: 4.5
great draw, cut nice, firm cigar holding together 100%

Post-light Construction/How it smoked: 4.5
great draw, plenty of smoke, perfectly even burn

NOTES Flavor and strength – 1st 1/3:
marshmallow and a hint of chlorine are the base with bread and nutty in there as well
NOTES Flavor and strength – 2nd 1/3:
base still there and unpleasant but there's still good notes to be had here and there, bread, nuts, a little wood
NOTES Flavor and strength – Last 1/3:
bad base is simmering down and getting some really pleasant flavor but the memory and finish still linger
Flavor and Strength: 3
medium - full

Aftertaste/Finish: 2
bitter in the nose, weird, the marshmallow/chlorine base is most prominent in the finish

Aroma: 2
funky base

General Comments:
not really my cup of tea, really well made cigar but the flavor if just well off

Overall score for the cigar. 68.6666666666667 (tally from above) 2.5 (my overall impression)

Recommendation: not

Overall

I smoked 4 of these, the third I didn't bother posting as it was a tight draw and the flavor was just ash/paper.

Overall a stunning cigar construction-wise but the flavors by stick were all over the board, no consistency in flavor between cigars at all. Most of the flavors were unapealling or yuck. Overall would not recommend, way too spotty
