jquest63 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Vegas Robaina Famosos Format: Robusto Length: measured at 5 inches Ring: measured at 48 Appearance: dark colorado wrapper Construction: Flawless, relatively smooth with a few very small veins, nicely executed cap, firm and well packed with a little spring when pinched, the cigar foot was clean and straight Pre-light aroma/flavor: rich tobacco Light: Lit quickly and evenly Burn: Burned relatively even the entire length, but self corrected twice. Smoke was cool from start to finish. Overall, excellent burn quality Flavor: Bitter, sweet and salty elements were Very well balanced from the start to finish. Flavors detected were earthy tobacco, cocoa, a hint of cloves, charred wood, vanilla cream and cinnamon. The rich earthy tobacco flavor intensifies progressively Ash: Firm and tight, fell off every ~ 2 inches Aroma: Pleasant woody/tobacco aroma, wife remarked that it smelled very nice(and she finds most cigar smoke disagreeable) Strength: Starts off medium and progressively gains in strength Draw: Nice draw, not too loose Time: Solid hour General Comments: Overall excellent smoke, currently my favorite robusto, well balanced
shrink Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Flavors detected were earthy tobacco, cocoa, a hint of cloves, charred wood, vanilla cream and cinnamon. Nice review. Sounds like a fairly young Famoso alright. Do you have the boxcode?
