Kioki US Troop Connecticut Robusto

tuxpuff · 06-08-2009, 09:04 PM

This is a cigar from the free offer from kiokicigars. From their site...

"The Kioki US Troop Connecticut blend is blended with a mix of sun-grown habano tobacco and Nicaraguan tobacco in the filler. The wrapper is grown in Honduras' prized Jamastran Region."

It has a nice tobacco aroma and a solid roll.

First third - Slightly loose draw. Initial flavors of light tobacco with a pleasant slight sweetness. Mild in strength. Flavors of tobacco intensifying near the end of the third. The burn is perfect.

Second third - Still primarily flavors of tobacco. It will burn hot if you are not careful. There is also a small amount of an earthy flavor with some spice on the aftertaste. Near the end of this third it turns a bit bitter with a very peppery spice aftertaste.

Last third - The bitterness subsides leaving strong flavors of leather and tobacco with a strong mocha spicy aftertaste.

Overall I was quite impressed by this $2 smoke. Great burn throughout with a good flavor profile.
