Vegas Robaina Maestros RE Spain 2007 Take one for the team weekend

From the bottom of desktop comes last two of box of ten that i wish to forget

from memory most were very tight or plugged (and tossed)

tastes was acrid, dark bitter spice & harshness to them, very poor burn lines.

I read somewhere that these where supposingly trying to capture a spicey Honduran cigar!

So to todays offerings

Cut the cap PLUGGED second cigar PLUGGED

cut both down to top of first band still no draw...

So now this is where they ended

In a jar for chop...chop for Pipe smoking......!!!

Not sure this now qualifies as a review..LoL

Now off to find something decent to smoke tonite..!

Wow that's disappointing.  

I have three boxes and so far everyone single one of them has been stunning.  Lush creamy rich voluminous smoke, razor sharp burn, milk chocolate.

Have you tried one of those reaming tools on any of them?

[mkz]

Always hate the plugged ones!

Out of curiosity: Whats your RH-level?

[garnett]

the few I have had were great

[TheGipper]

Really sorry you had bad luck on yours.  Down to six from my last box.  They have been mind-blowingly good.  I am not turning them into pipe fodder any circumstances.

Condolences for the crappy cigars then.

Hope they go well in the pipe.
