Por Larranaga Robusto Asia Pacific RE EMA OCT 07 (RELERW)

[Chucko8]

This review weekend turned out to be the perfect excuse to test out another of these sticks. The last time I tried one of these it was so tight and plugged that it required to be cut in half to move past the blockage.

1st third: This is a sweet cigar. There is caramel, light cedar and just a hint of spice. Some nice hits of floral notes also.

 

2^nd third: The sweet mellow journey continues. This cigar is very smooth and nothing at all in the way of harshness. A light saltiness I’m detecting which makes me think of sweet caramel popcorn. The volume of smoke is very pleasing and burn is great and the strength is light.

 

Last third: The cedar comes back in and is tasting honeyed. There is a light coffee flavour intermingling with the caramel popcorn flavour which has the cigar feeling richer. Still relatively light as smoke but very smooth. Closer to the end and some earthy aspects pop in.

 

Overall found this to be a light to medium strength stick which is not very complex though smooth, sweet and easy to smoke. If your looking for a punchy robusto then this isn't what you would want to grab. But if your looking for a smooth light stick with layers of tasty sweetness, then your on a winner.

Thanks for the review. I just love these things. I'm halfway through a second of three cabs and have never been disappointed. Medium bodied, sweet cream and caramel.
