Berger & Argenti Entubar Robusto Cigar Review Vide
 
http://cigarobsession.com/wp-content..._baer_0002.jpg

This 5 1/4 x 54 stick offered a very consistent flavor profile of deep rich tobacco flavor with touches of leather in the first 1/2 and a bit of barnyard appearing through the second. The finish was very long with a mild pepper flavor and tingle on the tongue. The draw was on the loose side with the perfect amount of resistance for a smooth burn all the way down. The ash was remarkable for holding on to about 4″ before falling off in one large column. Total smoke time was 1 1/2 hours to the nub with 1″ remaining, also fairly remarkable in the fact that it stayed consistent in flavor and temperature all the way to that nub. http://cigarobsession.com/2009/09/25...-cigar-review/

I've got one of these sitting in the humidor; I've seen some awesome pictures of the ashes on these babies...looks really good.

Smoked one of these tonight at Cuban Crafters; I wonder how many know that the Berger in the nameplate is none other than Don Kiki! We also had the pleasure of meeting Al Argenti there on Tuesday night, and he was kind enough to gift everyone there a maduro version of this.

The pic above is a stock photo, as I didn't think to record the burning.

I'm sorry to say that I did not enjoy this one; the initial, pre-light impression was similar to that of a Sancho with some age on it, but the cigar did not live up to its promise.

It was a cigar of extremes; extreme salt (good!), extreme amounts of smoke (good!), extreme pepper (meh...) and extreme nicotine. Very one-dimensional, but it flat kicked my butt, and that's the exact reverse of what I want in a cigar.

I can't judge for anyone else, and I suppose that if you favor the extreme end of the strength and pepper spectrum you might enjoy this. It's just not for me.

These are awesome cigars. I also love the Quad Maduro of the same name.

i thought this cigar was mediocre at best. it looks and feels gimmicky. the flavors were unremarkable. i wasnt mad at it, but i dont need to rush out and get any. ever.
