Default 601 Black Robusto

Size - 5 x 50
Shape - Robusto
Wrapper - Ecuador
Filler - Nicaragua
Binder - Nicaragua

Had this one today while checking out the flashchat for the first time. It's very cool BTW! The smoke sports a very smooth wrapper. Great roll with no soft spots. Nice tobacco aroma on the wrapper with chocolate aroma on the foot.

First third - Initial blast of almonds and general toasted nuts. Pretty quickly turns into a very smooth and creamy smoke with primarily tobacco flavors. Draw is initially tight but it loosens fairly quickly. Small hints of cedar and licorice. Staying very smooth with some nice sweetness.

Second third - A deliciously smooth some with lots of complexity. Leather, tobacco, and sweetness prevail. A small amount of peppery spice on the aftertaste. Burning very well.

Last third - Quite a pronounced sweetness on the lips. Still maintaining the superb burn. The slightly spicy and very mocha flavored aftertaste is increasing now. Finishes with flavors of tabacco, espresso, and leather with a long spicy mocha aftertaste.

Overall a very good smoke. Complex flavors with a nice solid burn, even on a windy afternoon. Recommended!
