Cohiba Robusto 16 PRRRW

[MrGlass]

This review is simple - black tea with sugar.  The cigar opened with black tea, then a few minutes in there was an intense bout of sweetness, just like a mouthful of sugar.  I can't remember ever smoking anything that exhibited a sweetness like that.  Sadly that sweetness only stayed for a minute or two before the cigar settled back down to black tea with sugar, fairly light in flavour through the first half, getting a little more powerful around the halfway point, and then picking up again just before the end.  Total smoke time was just shy of two hours.

This was one of only a few robustos I had on hand for this review weekend, having picked up a three pack of these at an airport at some point in my travels.  I haven't had a huge number of the Cohiba Robusto, and while I did enjoy this one I honestly have never seen what the fuss is all about with this particular cigar.  I genuinely feel there is better value in the other robustos on offer and can't see the justification for the extra premium these command.
