Reserva Miraflor - Robusto

[rizzle]

Andrew handed me one of these Saturday. Looking forward to smoking it.
Thanks for the review.

I gotta cut'n'paste my feeble attempt at a review here....

(from the other thread)

annihilated the Robusto tonight. absolutely NO rest time from the package (maybe 2 hours before it was lit??)

Most here would say I have charcoal for taste buds...hear me out.

I switched between three drinks to make sure I could honestly "taste" what I thought I was tasting.

Guinness, Coke, and plain water.

My notes -

- Pre-light - excellent - draw was very easy -

- Not a single burn issue (no kidding) - solid ash that held firm

- the draw - well, as I joked with my buddies, you could "chew" the smoke

- Now, I switched between drinks because I thought the Guinness was masking some of the flavor - going to the Coke, I realized it was actually complementing the flavors - going to water helped me identify it easily. Coffee, chocolate(cocoa) and, well, there were, in my lava tastebuds, almost a creamy taste in there as well. The last inch or so, I swear it got a floral aroma....It wasn't like ""oooh, roses"....just a slight aroma in there.

Overall, I give this a solid thumbs up. Smoking a cigar OTT with NO burn issues and having these sort of results does NOT happen often. I was impressed!!!

I'm thinking Andy's on to something here.
