H.Upmann Robusto EL 2012 LAR NOV 12
Darker shade oily wrapper
Easy draw at cold with hay notes
Paired with water.
Initial draw:
Rich full smoke volume with a medium strength flavor.
Hay, coffee, leather, a hint of salt.
After a few puff, strength down to lower medium
More salty on the lips, Leather is getting stronger, coffee getting more green.
Cigar needs quite a bit of attention, likes to go out very fast.
Slight uneven burn, some construction issues
2nd.
Smoother now, stable in strength, dark chocolate, toasted tobacco
3rd
Dark Espresso, milk chocolate, licorice, nuts
The best part of the cigar !
Smoking time 1hr 20 min.
Conclusion:
Much better than the last one I had in Oct. 14.
Would guess another 1 better 2 years to shine.
Thanks for reading.
