Excerpt from my blog
If you want to read the full story go to my BLOG
Let’s start with the facts. I purchased the rusbostorama sampler pack from a little boutique cigar website. The sampler contained 12 sticks with a bonus which were comprised thus: 4 #7 Robustos (the classic #7 blend) 2 #7 Special Fuerte Robustos (#7on a whole other level) 2 C98Maduro Robusto (the best maduro wrapper we grow) 1 CC Robusto Medium color, medium body 1 ARS Maduro Robusto (dark licorice flavor in a VALUE cigar) 1 EP SunGrownMaduro Robusto (the same wrapper&blend as the perfecto) 1 SmootheJazz Robusto--super creamy BONUS 1 HHBarberPole Robusto Being the cheap bastage I am I opted to double the package and saved a couple extra dollars. Besides if you will notice that a good amount of the different cigars only have one sample and who can truly say that they would invest in a larger purchase by just smoking a single cigar? I smoked six of the eight #7, their “classic #7 blend” and one of the #7 Special Fuerte (sp?) so far. Of the six all were extremely mushy, soft, feeling under filled. Basically something I would expect from a second or a cigar advertised as being rolled by student/apprentice rollers. All of them canoed to one degree or another, which in of its self can be attributed to numerous problems not discounting over humidification, poor filler bunching, overly thick wrapper, etc. Positives were that the wrapper was a beautiful shade of medium brown with a wonderful spicy, earthy, tobacco aroma. Pre-light taste left a spicy tang on the lips with more earthy tastes, draw was very very easy/loose.
