El Cobre robusto
The El Cobre robusto is a very oily,firm chocolate brown,solid and heavy.It has spicy tobacco and cocoa aromas,a spicy tobacco taste and a firm draw.
The first third has peppery clean cedar aromas,flavors of chocolate and cherries{!} and a sweet lingering finish,something unique in my experience. In the second third there are developing notes of cocoa,leather and cedary flavors,still a note of cherry with a sweet lingering finish.The ash is solid and light gray,needing only a small touch up.The cigar is very well made. In the final third,there are notes of toasted oak and brown sugar,firm tobacco sweetness,a clean slightly dry finish,oily mouth feel.The burn is very good. The taste profile of this smoke was a surprise,compelling and very enjoyable,with broad flavors and nicely lingering.It keeps your interest,I will age these to see what they will become in 6 months to a year,I recommend that you try this brand highly.I rate this one 7.5 out of 10 strength,18 out of 20 overall.. |
