Vegas Robaina Famosos OPS NOV15: ERC

[zeedubbya]

This cigar screams chocolate to me quite a lot.  Not creamy chocolate, not mocha chocolate, but baking chocolate.  Like chocolate chips.  Not even dark chocolate.  Semi-sweet baking chocolate.  Not caramelly, not really that sweet.  Quality tobacco and baking chocolate.  Maybe a touch of stone fruit at some points.  Maybe flirts with a black coffee profile at times.   

El Prez says take a square of baking chocolate wrapped around a prune.  I really think this describes the Famosos well.  Starts out med bodied and stays, maybe picks up a touch in the last 3rd.  I find myself smoking these mostly when I am doing other things.  Grilling, watching a ball game, mowing, fishing.  This one I just savored. Just sat and enjoyed it.  Paired it with Coca Cola.  Great cigar for Easter.  These may never get above 90-92 points but this whole box has been very consistent and just outright tasty—I bet they don’t last long enough for me to find out.
