An absolutely stellar vitola. Almost textbook perfection in appearance. Oily/dark wrapper. Beautifully rolled. Excellent pre-light draw with spicy drysmoke flavor and zing on the palette.
This cigar benefitted from a slower smoking pace. The complexity of flavors and sublime intensity were best realized by letting the cigar burn without being overheated. It was in this "zone" that really allowed this stick to sport it's stuff. I was particularly suprised by the overall performance of it's outstanding flavor/strength balance. Spice, power and rich deep choco-coffee-earthy-toasty like complexity. I was duly impressed. Linear burn with a few minor touch-ups. I have smoked a few of the Robusto SG's before which had burn problems and did not impress me nearly as much. For me...this was a one hour affair to remember. I purchased 2 (limit per person). Hopefully the next one will perform equally as well. If so.....as Arnold would say... "I'll be back". jlancero AMERICA: NOW AND FOREVER, THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.
