Espinosa Habano Robusto

This is the latest blend from Eric Espinosa and it looks like a good one. Aromas from the wrapper and foot are creamy and smooth. The bunch is firm with and it clips cleanly with my Xivar v-cutter. Today’s beverage is a Chameleon Cold Brew Coffee.

From the beginning I get the toasty-sweet notes of the Habano wrapper. The cigar burns clean and provides plentiful smoke with miimal effort . The v-cut helps keep stray bits off my tongue. The ash is a bit uneven so I will have to be vigilant to keep it of my clothes.

During the first third the as is holding steady. Notes of cedar and ginger have entered the mix of this very pleasant medium bodied cigar. There is a light white pepper note in the retrohale, adding a pleasant note to the overall flavor.

During the second third the ash dropped effortlessly (and fortunately into the ash tray). After the ash dropped I had to relight the cigar (probably from too much typing and not enough smoking). The flavors remain a very complex blend of toasty sweet tobacco, ginger and cedar with a light bit of leather emerging.

Approaching the final inch the flavors have become more full bodied while retaining their complexity. A few short purges keep the smoke pleasant and smooth. Some cracks have appeared. But are probably from removing the ring. Overall a very pleasant medium bodied cigar from one of the best in the business, earning an 8.9/10. Joe Bob says check it out.
