RG: 72 (Seventy-two!) Length: 145 mm Longfiller, Totalmenta a Mano Note: Cigars by Reynaldo enjoy an excellent reputation among the aficionados. Unfortunately, they are not commercially available. You can only buy them personally from Reynaldo at the Casa del Habano in the Hotel Conde de Villanueva in Havana. Optics: This cigar is thick. Really thick. An impressive appearance. In addition to this, a Robusto cigar is almost like a Perla. I can understand when someone in front of this cigar is afraid. Respect is appropriate in any case. The wrapper is of excellent quality. A succulent Maduro, silky shiny and greasy. It has little veins and has a very fine surface. Typical of cigars by Reynaldo that cover the foot is not trimmed. It is merely folded over. Coldsmell: The first olfactory impression is warm and spicy. I'm from sweet flavors of milk chocolate and fresh roasted hazelnuts. To a mild impression of chicken soup. Honestly. 1st third: After lighting a distinct aroma of freshly roasted hazelnuts were developed. These were complemented by earthy-woody flavors very soon. There are also herbal notes of parsley and lovage. Overall, a very complex aroma. 2nd third: In the middle range nutty flavors disappear. For it rise flavors of heavy cowhide. The aromatic part is formed by aromas of roasted spices. 3rd third: The cigar is so complex and rich that it is difficult for me to identify individual flavors to the end. But the primary impression is earthy-woody here. Towards the end the cigar reloads again properly. Slightly peppery flavors come to the fore here. Black pepper paired with laurel. Strength: Cigars from Reynaldo belong to the strongest cigars in Cuba. Among them the Cimarrónes, a large Pirámide, applies as the strongest. The Elefantes is located in the midfield. But it is still much stronger than any Partagás. Despite a strong nicotine content, the cigar leaves an extremely complex but "manageable" impression. But it is definitely not a cigar, you should smoke on an empty stomach.
