Por Larranaga Cabinet Selection Robusto

Quick Review:

Beautiful oily wrapper, perfect construction and burn, taste was salty with tangy spice and was medium to full bodied.

Very good cigar for the money, I paid $5.

By the way, had the Montecristo Cabinet Selection Torpedo which oddly enough was $10.50 and not nearly as good as the PL cab selection robusto.

Alright, lit the corona yesterday on the way home. Pretty much what was said is true, but this smoke had a shade wrapper, maybe Connecticut Ecuador?

This really needed a few months of aging to bring all the flavors to the forefront, but there is a lot of potential for a great med/full, creamy, woody, leathery smoke with a bit of spice.
