Pinar Del Rio Habano SG

Pinar Del Rio Habano Sun Grown Robusto- Dominican Republic


Pre-light- the pre light smell of the wrapper was a little spice and some sweetness. Took a cold draw, the draw was perfect and was getting some pepper and spice flavors; All the hints that this is going to be a nice cigar. The wrapper was a nice medium brown color; no large veins were present as well. This cigar was very consistent in construction, the appearance was very nice, and pack firm.

1st third- once lit up, I was overpowered with spice and pepper. More like a rich savory spice, and dark pepper. The burn was great as well as the draw. It was producing lots of smoke with every puff (love that). The ash was a medium to dark grey, and was very solid.

2nd third – the flavors, were beginning to calm down a bit…still getting spice and pepper, and a little sweet finish, it’s very good so far. The ash was very firm, and seems to hang on forever. Still producing lots of smoke, the burn and draw were awesome. For me, most cigars tend to start out mild in flavors then it kicks into high gear, but not this one; Quite the opposite here.

Last third – the spice and pepper were mellowing out, now getting a little earthy mushroom flavor mixed with the pepper and spice. The sweet finished has disappeared. The burn was great and the ash held on for a good 2 plus inches before it fell off. I would say that this cigar was medium bodied, with lots of great flavors. I enjoyed this cigar a lot.

Overall, the Pinar del Rio Habano SG robusto, was a great experience. From the construction, and flavor standpoint was awesome; not to mention the box they come in all dressed up. If I were to rate this cigar out of 100. I would say its an easy 90 points. A must try. Thank you abe for giving me the chance to try theses, you have done a great job.
