San Cristobal robusto YUM!

e-man67 · 03-21-2009, 07:35 PM

So...when out to a nice dinner and thought I would end the nice with a shorter stick..hence my review of the San Cristobol robusto....I am working on this pup as I write this and to sum it up in one word OUTSTANDING! This is a medium to leaning more toward a fuller bodied cigar. The wrapper is beautiful, oily, dark, and damn near perfect. I scored these from a brother on the forum and I am thinking he must have aged them a bit because this isn't my first SC. The smoke is heavy, but no so in the mouth. It draws a little tight but I don't mind it so much because it is so full of flavor and yet not overpowering (like the Padron I had earlier). It smells and tastes of coffee and chocolate....glad I didn't have dessert b/c this accompanies a meal just great....actually, I dare say, this is one of my new favorites! If you are on the fence regarding fuller bodied cigars I would highly recommend giving this one a try. Flawless burn and flavor to the nub. Score 9+ of 10!

These are great cigars. I am especially fond of the Guajiro. I just scored a sampler on CI MMAO and am waiting (im)patiently for them. Thanks for the review these truly are excellent cigars.

I agree, it's an outstanding cigar. I've added it to my regular rotation.
