SSS-WRC: Reynaldo Robusto - Rams 30 Patriots 27

[HDGSN]

2018 Reynaldo Robusto - purchased in December, probably rolled November or December - one of 22 singles that I hand selected out of about 75 in the drawer - a lot to live up to as it was the best thing I smoked in 2018 and the burn was razor flawless down there. Paired with a bourbon and Diet Coke. Just over 30 days rest at 62RH

Wrapper is perfect shade, velvet to the touch. Not as glorious as down in Havana but my humidor at 62 is probably lower than what these were resting at

Cold draw - tighter than perfect but not enough to grab the PerfecDraw. Well packed. 

Medium body

1st third - Partagas spice and Upmann nuts with some yeast roll breadiness then Juan Lopez citrus retrohale.

2nd third - Heaps of sourdough and flashes of meaty mushroom

Last third - Heaps of sourdough again

In case its not obvious I’d peg this as a cross between Partagas and JL

Smoke time: 1hr10min

91/100
