    Default Bobalu Triple Ligero (Lijero) ~ Robusto

    Other's reviews (None found, searching the Reviews Forum)

    Smoke: Bobalu Triple Ligero (Lijero) ~ Robusto
    Drink: Manatawny Creek Cabernet Franc Port
    Tunes: Nothing

    Wrapper: Brazilian
    Binder: Honduran, Dominican, Nicaraguan
    Filler: Honduran, Dominican, Nicaraguan
    Draw: Light to medium draw
    Burn: Ran good
    Misc: Burned for about 60mins

    Pre-light: Medium brown, somewhat bumpy and veiny. Cool looking’ band and has a musty tobacco scent. Not much prelight flavor, and maybe a little spice.



    Light: Easy. Medium to light draw.

    1st 3rd: Spicy. Has a decent amount of nice sweet tobacco ring to it. Good amount of leather taste in the profile. The draw is very nice, and I’m left with a semi-strong woodsy note in the aftertaste.



    Ash: Medium gray with bubbles. Flaky and loose. Holds on for ¾”



    2nd 3rd: Medium to full body with medium to full flavor. You can taste the ligero, or at least for me it reminds me of other high percentage ligero smokes like LFD DL or Cain. Good woodsy, leather & spice flavors. For sure has some tooth to it. Slight bitter twinge with the woodsy aftertaste now.



    3rd 3rd: Spicy, woodsy and some leather. Building in intensity (I like that) and maybe getting a bit hot. Not too hot though.



    Overall impression: Pretty good smoke. I think it does a better job at ligero than the Oliva Cain does for a little less cash.

    Nice review.
    It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo.

    Nice run down of the smoke, I was really digging the Cain, but didn't like the price tag, so I might have to look these up.


    Live each day like it's your last, one day you'll get it right.

    Thanks for the review Will, great smoke, and you *almost* had me on the April Fools post.

    I always enjoy your reviews. I've really enjoyed dealing with Bobalu. They have some really good smokes and their customer service is fantastic.
