Robusto "B" Reviews/Discussion

Aesthetics: 3.5
strangely uniform and flat light/medium brown color, decent looking cigar aside from that odd point

Pre-light Construction: 3.5
well rolled, decent cap, anticipate no smoking problems from the construction, took the clipping good and smell is a little medicinal

Post-light Construction/How it smoked: 3.5
draws nice, smokes effortlessly, burn is uneven but not even to cause any problems, 1/4-3/8"

NOTES Flavor and strength – 1st 1/3:
nice nose presence, not a crisp clean 'burn', more muted creamy 'burn'. Flavor has a little bit of medicinal to it that I don't care for but there's a yeast or fresh bread flavor that's entertaining if not tastey.
NOTES Flavor and strength – 2nd 1/3:
yeasty, bready, woody, still coming on strong in the nose
NOTES Flavor and strength – Last 1/3:
same throughout - medium/full - full in the nose throughout for certain
Flavor and Strength: 3.3

Aftertaste/Finish: 3
smooth finish, a little tannic like brewed iced tea

Aroma: 3
a little pharmaceutical

General Comments:
Not particularly exciting flavors but unoffensive and an easy smoke.

Overall score for the cigar. 66 (tally from above) 3.3 (my overall score)

Recommendation: possibly

Overall
after smoking 3 of these I'd have to say it's been the consistent best of the bunch for me so far.

While it's not something I'd buy and keep I did come to appreciate it's ease of smoking and unoffensive flavors, not exactly a sterling recommendation but it is what it is. This is an active cigar for me, meaning smoking it while your're doing something and not thinking too much about it, in that case it'd make a nice companion.
