Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro SUE NOV14 (FRCSW3)

[cigaraholic]

Lovely deep colorado wrapper and nicely filled at 19.3g. Sweet earthy barnyard cold draw with perfect resistance. Opening puffs are sweet earthy cocoa and toffee, like smoking a tootsie roll. Smooth soft smoke with mouth coating sweetness, who needs dessert, I’ll smoke mine. Medium bodied and getting richer, now toasted tobacco and dark toffee, like a See’s chocolate lollipop. Around the end 1/3 flavors lighten to coffee, caramel and peanuts, didn’t expect that. Last 1/3 is walnut skins and coffee grinds. I think I lit the wrong end of this cigar 👻 fist 1/3 was 97 second 93 and finished with 89. Always a little disappointing when a cigar starts in 5th gear and keeps downshifting.

I have a handful left from a 2016 box code.  Magical cigars were those that weren't plugged, too many plugged ones though.  Dissected a few of the baddies and they contained a thick stem or two that typically covered the length of the smoke, and a filler leaf or two that appeared as if they had been soaked in crude prior to rolling.  But man when they smoke well, they are magic.
