Hot Doggie! This is a great tasting stick! It’s a medium body smoke that amazingly stays that way throughout! It’s also a fat boy! Not sure how they classify this as a Robusto. I suppose it is by length alone, but they’re 56 ring gauge feels more like a 60! It reminds me of one of those EP Carillo INCH cigars!
The aroma is very pleasing. It’s nutty and sweet. That pervades the flavor of the smoke as well. Technically, it’s not sweet, but I do perceive a subtle sweetness in the smoke. And I love the short finish. It doesn’t linger, but that just has me coming back for more.
Tried a retro hale with the smoke. I don’t like to retro hale in the first place, so I’m not a good judge of that. But in my mouth, it’s very pleasing, redolent with nuts, toast, and sweet cream. And while the flavor does indeed intensify to the nub, it never goes to the dark side. It stays medium bodied throughout the smoke.
Yeah… I’ll be getting many more of these!
