Roxy Maduro Robusto

kelmac07 · 12-04-2011, 06:32 PM

Andrew (BlkDrew) was kind enough to let me sample one of his fresh rolled maduros. I thought I'd take a few minutes and post a review as I had to smoke it this evening (it was calling my name like "Pookie" in New Jack City). So here goes...

Roxy Maduro Robusto

Origin: No clue
Length: 5.00
Ring: 50
Strength: Medium
Wrapper Color: Darkish Brown
Wrapper Type: No clue
Binder: No clue
Filler: No clue
Shape: Robusto
Duration: 70 minutes
Beverage: Evan Williams Honey Reserve

Construction: This stick had a milk chocolate wrapper. It was very smooth with only a few noticable veins. Damn fine job of rolling this bad boy Andrew.

Burn: The burn was uneven and required a few minor touch-ups. I can only attest this to the stick being way too fresh. It first ashed at 1/2 inch, then about every 1/2 inch after that. This cigar burned pretty slow.

Smoke: This cigar gave off very little smoke. I ran the draw tool through her and she still only produced small ammounts of smoke.

Flavor

Pre-Light Draw: Very sweet, I pick up a pecan (nutty) flavor along with leather.

1st Third:
Very leathery, with a hint of sweetness. Starting out very nicely, except for the burn.

2nd Third:
Leathery taste is still present and a faint hint of caramel hits my palate. Not overwhelming, but enough to compliment the leathery taste. Reminds me of a toffee bar. Hints of sweet and bitter blend very nicely.

Final Third:
Caramel disappears and the only prevelant taste is leather. Strength picks up a little.

Conclusion: I wasn't sure what to expect from this maduro. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. I would call this a medium cigar. The one thing it was missing that would have really made this stick outstanding was a hint of spice. Damn fine stick though Andrew. And I want to thank you again for allowing me the opportunty to try one. I will be grabbing some more (when more maduros become available) so that I can see what these will be like with a little more rest on them. I should have took more pics, but I was really concentrating on the flavors.

Was also the first stick smoked in the new christened "Mac & Kellie's Maduro Lounge".

Thanks for the 1st to be smoked here

I really meant to say you'd be all set for Friday... I need to find some super dark leaves for you... Hmm maybe a triple maduro?

Nice review! Thank you

I might have to beg and plead with Andrew to get my hands on one of these next.

awesome review and sign!!

Hey great review, thanks for posting. I am just now learning how to review cigars and I have picked up some pointers.

ApexAZ · 02-01-2012, 09:01 PM

Just smoked my first from a 5 pack. Very good cigar! I think I liked the flavors of the original Nicaraguan blend with the natural wrapper better, but this is close. The draw is much better this time around also.

SteelCityBoy · 02-02-2012, 06:25 AM

I have smoked one of these from Drew and really enjoyed it!

Have one resting in the humi right now too so we'll see how they do with some time on them! Continue the great work Drew!

Taki · 02-02-2012, 06:44 AM

I have 1 sitting in my humi (waiting for a good day to burn her)
