Pinar del Rio Habano Sun Grown Robusto

Kreth · 01-26-2010, 06:04 PM

Mario sent me one of these and one of the Oscuros in the MAW a while back. The Oscuro was tasty, but had some burn issues, so I was looking forward to trying this stick after a bit of rest.

Humidor time: 2 months

Prelight: Well constructed, with minimal veins. Prelight draw is moderate, with a leathery/musty flavor.

Burn: The burn got a little uneven, but never enough to require a touch-up. Ash was solid and held on well. Draw was moderate. The burn time was about 75 minutes.

Flavor: Leather, with a bit of cedar and a hint of caramel that came and went. Nice amount of pepper, especially through the nose.

Summary: Very tasty, and burned much better than the Oscuro after a little rest. I'll have to pick up a few more of each and bury them in the cooler for a while.

Nice review Jeff. I had an Oscuro the other night and they just keep getting better and better. I've liked all of the PdR line I've tried so far. I haven't had an HSG for a while now. Maybe I should do some digging.

The guys at Dogwatch did an interview and review last year I think. The stick was supposed to be knock our socks off strong.

Definitely peppery, but I didn't find it to be excessively strong.
