Default Casa Magna Colorado Robusto

One of the BOTL posted a 5er of these for trade, as he did not care for them. I figured I'd give them a shot since I'm always looking to try something new. Wow was this a great smoke !

The wrapper appeared flawless and the construction was very nice. The cigar is firm all the way through. The pre-light draw was smooth with a fruity aroma.



This starts of with a very nice fruity note. Very flavorful smoke coming through. The burn is nice and even with a very white ash.



The second 3rd brings about a very nice black cherry flavor, that becomes stronger, the further I smoke. I'm really happy with the mouth filling flavor the smoke is giving off.



As I get to the final 3rd, I have a big smile on my face. This one keeps getting better ! A nice strong apricot flavor comes busting through, and remains till the nub. Man am I glad I decided to trade for these. 4 more resting, but it will be hard for me to keep my hands off of them !

Flavor sounds great! What's the strength of this stick? Mild-medium-full?

Nice review, Nick. I tried the Oscuro and thought it was a pretty good smoke. I'll have to try these.

You know, I was enjoying the flavors so much that it didn't really dawn on me. I would have to say medium bodied with tons of flavor, if that makes sense. It was the great flavors that had me going

I have enjoyed the few I have had, in smaller R.G.s though.
Very tasty and flavorful.
