Construction
This robusto has a perfect draw, a fairly even burn, and the ash holds well. It requires no relights. Construction rating: 4/5.
Flavor
- One third: Toasty upon lighting, then gives way to a heavy dried fruit taste, especially dark cherries. The smoke is dense and medium - strength.
- Two thirds: A little unrefined in the first half, but in the second half, it smooths out, and flavors become more mellow.
- Three thirds: The fruity, non - sweet taste remains on the long finish. Flavor rating: 4.5/5.
Value
Compared to other Cuban robustos, it is priced reasonably. It is consistent in construction quality and taste. Value rating: 5/5.
This cigar is suitable for beginners. It also has excellent aging potential. It's a great buy and has become a staple in the reviewer's humidor.
