Devil's Weed RALEIGH (Robusto)
I smoked my first one this evening. What a fantastic cigar!!
I would categorize the Devil's Weed robusto as a medium bodied cigar, but very full flavored, and smooth. Everytime I thought I had a finger on what I was experiencing (spice,wood,hint of cream,ect) a new flavor was thrown into the mix. I think I would have to smoke a number of these to actually pinpoint the flavors that I was experiencing. The ash held on for about one inch and was a beautiful white color, and the burn was very even all of the way through. I had to relight one time because of my roommate wanted to hang out and talk with me, but she's very sensitive to smoke, so I didn't want to smoke it while she was around. I must say, after the relight and a purge, it was back to goodness. I would have never guessed that the cigar had been relit if I hadn't done it myself. I smoked the cigar down to about 3/4th of an inch before letting it burn out, but even smoking it well past the label, I never experienced any bitterness or harshness at all. (A HUGE PLUS!!!) Overall, definitely a cigar for a cigar lover. The Devil's Weed is one that will keep you on your toes and keep your tastebuds happy! Dare I say this, but...at one moment I thought that this cigar resembled a few of DPG's cigars that I have smoked in the past. I would have to give this cigar a 92/100 (It was just that damn good!!!!!! ) (Guys, I want to apologize if this is a choppy review. I have been studying for a final exam that I have tomorrow for a number of hours and my brain is numb. I did the best I could, as I wanted to get this review in while it was fresh in my memory.) Mr. Molina, I sure hope you have a bigger size coming out of these. If you have a toro size coming out that tastes similar to the robusto, I might just have to get me a box ASAP! Great job on these, seriously.
