La Aroma de Cuba

RobR1205 · 04-25-2012, 08:08 PM

NAME: La Aroma De Cuba

SPECS: Corona, 5.5" x 44

APPEARANCE: Some veins, somewhat oily sheen, medium firmness, great construction, nice dark wrapper

PRELIGHT: Easy draw, light sweet flavors of honey

FIRST THIRD: Heavy coffee flavors, very smooth, balanced flavors. Copious amounts of white, fragrant smoke. Very firm, white ash. Light spice on the aftertaste.

SECOND THIRD: Similar flavors from before, but picking up strength. I can pick up notes of chocolate, dirt, and earth.

LAST THIRD: Nice toasty finish! Medium to full body, with robust tobacco flavors. I nubbed this sucker.

SMOKING TIME: 1 Hour

PRICE: About $110 for a box of 25, $4.40 per stick

CONCLUSION: A pleasant and enjoyable smoke! The ash held on well, and the burn was straight throughout. A pretty straightforward cigar with some complexity. For the price, well worth it! Not in my list of all-time favorites, but a good stick nonetheless.

Thanks for the review. La Aroma de Cuba makes some decent cigars.

Agreed...nothing great, but not bad for the price. And you can get these everywhere!

Nice review, Robert.

Smoked a lot of the LAdC Robustos back in the day. A good reasonably priced cigar, although I preferred the old blend to the current one.

Right now, I have a couple different vitolas and types of la Aromas:

La Aroma De Cuba (Churchill)
La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor (Magnifico - Toro)
La Aroma De Cuba Edicion Especial (No. 3 - Toro)

I've yet to smoke these ones yet, but I'll let you know how they come out! Should be good, but I'm gonna let them sit in the humidor for a bit!
