La Herencia CORE robusto
Scored a 5'er for 15 on the devil's site. CI has them going @ 10 apiece in their 5'ers.
ROTT review: being December I was a bit reluctant to smoke one right off the doorstep but let's be honest here, I was excited to try this.
Construction felt nice and solid. It's labeled as a 5x52 but the light box pressing makes it feel more like a 48-50RG.
Initial flavors were a bit harsh, especially on the retrohale but again, this hasn't had a chance to rest after it's travels. In the flavor dept, it has a nice deep tobacco undertone, lot's of leather and some earth. I love smokes with this kind of richness.
The burn did run a bit at first but it corrected itself quickly without a touch-up.
2/3 is where it get's really good! There is still a lot of flavor going on but it's easier to disect compared to at first. I'd say the strength lies in the med-full range.
Still slowly enjoying my second third of this so I can't comment on the finish yet. I do look forward to revisiting this after they take a snooze for a while in my box.
Happy smoking all
