Medium bodied, creamy, smooth smoke with a pinch of nut. Full flavored with an even burn. Left just a touch of a lingering aftertaste on the tongue for several hours after smoking. $7.00 for this one.
This Cuban-made Partaga’s short was given to me by a good friend after we returned home from Jamaica. It is full-bodied with fresh vanilla and smooth peanut taste. A spicy yet gentle smoke with an even burn.
Medium bodied with an earthy core and a touch of sweetness. Smooth from beginning to end. I enjoyed this one. They were aged six years and are limited. I’ll have to hurry to order more before they are all gone.
This cigar supposedly has deep, rick notes of chocolate and coffee to coat the palate – I did not experience any of that. I did however experience a robust note of toast and spice. Especially the spice. Overall, not a bad experience but for me, not worth $13.00 a stick.
This cigar has a spicy core with an underpinning of dense, oaky, earthy notes. Overall is was not satisfying but it did burn well and was very solid. $3.12
This $1.99 Robusto was smooth, but nothing special. It is supposed to have had lingering notes of dark unsweetened chocolate, toast and espresso bean – I experienced none of that. This was the first cigar I’ve snuffed out before getting half way through it.
Earthy, spicy and loaded with subtle nuances that include coffee and wood. At times the draw of spice is that of pepper – a blast of pepper! Not much in the way of coffee and it burned unevenly. Overall experience? Not worth the money at $9.40 a stick.
