Ordered a few 5-packs
I was noodling around looking at Saka's cigars and ran across the RoMa Craft Cromagnon series. They read like something I'd like. And a couple versions were in a cool perfecto shape, so I snagged some 5 packs. The Mode 5 and Anthropology.
Oh yeah, I was looking at Saka's cigars. I also snagged a fiver of Mi Querida Fino Largo. Good smoking ahead! I hope. I smoked a Sobremesa Petite Corona last week. I found something about the taste cloying. Perfumy even. Didn't care for it. |

I like the Mi Querida Fino Largo, tasty full bodied cigar. I have yet to have a Roma Craft cigar that I've really liked, but others rave about them. Hope you enjoy!

My cigars arrived today. As is my habit lately, I decided to smoke one right off the truck. I picked a 5.75 x 46 Roma Craft Cromagnon Anthropology. The band had the word "Aquitane" on it with a symbol of some sort. There is way too much effort put into the naming of these cigars.
That said, These cigars are firm cylinders with a sexy broadleaf wrapper. I'm smoking outside these days and it's in the low 30s. I decided to saunter through the woods with my dog and smoke this cigar. I was using small wooden matches and had a hard time getting it lit. The foot was maybe 2/3 lit and I puffed manfully. It evened out and It gave me a nice straight burn with a tight ash. I am finding that these days cigar construction is really important to me. I'd rather have a well made Nicaraguan that burns well than a Cuban that burns badly and gets mushy. It took a bit for the flavor to open up, but it did and I was reminded of the Sobremesa I smoked a while back. It has a similar perfumy sweetness. I was enjoying this cigar. At 2/3 in I hit a knot or something and the draw tightened and the cigar was trying to go out. I kept puffing expecting it to get bitter. But it never did. The conditions were less than optimal, so to be fair I want to give this cigar another chance. I'll do a proper review of this cigar after the other 4 have sat in my humidor for a while. I think the next one will probably be a lot better. |

I smoked the Perfecto version of the Cromagnon, the Mode 5, earlier in the week. The flavor was good, but I don't like the shape as much as I thought I would. I've figured out that I prefer the rounded end to the pointier one. Don't care much for figurados either.
Damn nice looking, well made cigar though. And pretty tasty. |
