But I know a lot of the BOTL's on here like them and consider them hard to find, so I grabbed a few handfuls on their behalf. I haven't smoked one for awhile, so I thought I'd give the robusto a try.

Meh. The predominant flavor was of Pepsi. It was bland and faintly sweet, subtly floral, with a bit of sweet spice (cinnamon and nutmeg) that developed about midway through. There was just a slight trace of nuttiness and woodsiness. The flavors were well-balanced, but there just wasn't much there. Abundant white smoke, and about the best thing I can say for it was that it had a very decent long finish and a pleasant aftertaste. I handed it over to Rob and he said about the same thing. If I really want to taste a can of Pepsi I'll drink one, and it won't cost twelve bucks.

Not really very impressed with this stick. We both liked the $2 bundled maduro we lit up at the same time better than either of us liked the Opus. Still happy to facilitate other people getting some when they show up in my neck of the woods, because I am not going to be all that interested in keeping any for myself. Y'all can definitely have my share.

so, you're saying you're a coca-cola gal?
