The Brick (robusto) by Torano

I received this stick in a five pack sampler from marscigars.com. Never heard of it before until I received it in the sampler. It's box-pressed, the size is 5x60, a sumatra wrapper with Honuran binder and filler.

The first third was a little bitter w/ slight hints of ammonia. I was tempted to put it out, but I gave it a chance. I'm glad I did. The stick picked up in strength and the flavor got better as it progressed. The second and final third were quite sweet and smooth. I wish it had a little more spice (not much there), but overall I enjoyed it. Not bad for a cheap stick. I'd give it an overall rating of 7.5 out of 10.
