Avo Robusto Maduro
50 X 5.0

This smoke has been sitting in my main humidor for something like 18 months.

Not maduro in appearance. Looks more like a thick and dark EMS wrapper. A couple of heavy veins present, but nothing too ugly.

Construction good, a solid cigar that draws easy and has a solid feel. The burn was perfectly straight.

I'm really torn as to how to rate this smoke. It started out mild but built to a medium body. It was rather unremarkable, but then again there was nothing wrong with it. The cigar was smooth all the way to the end. Actually the last 1" produced the most interesting flavor profile(s). It was a really decent smoke.

This was a good cigar. I'm just not sure it matches with the price it commands.

After some himing-and-hawing, I give it a thumbs up.

If you got the cash and like a smooth mild cigar, this is for you.
