La Aurora Maduro Robusto

In one word, "impressed"
I have had the naturals before and liked those, but the Maduro (though not overly dark) was a notch up for sure. First off, the stogie look very nice, as i said a little lite in color for a maduro but still a great looking cigar. Small veins, and very symetrical. As with the naturals, the cap is not completely wraped around the end if the cigar, so a bullet cutter seems to work best. It fired up easily, and the burn was close to perfect.

Ton's of smoke, and a great aroma to boot. I always get a good 1/2" into a cigar before i start to judge, and from the start the tast was spicy and thick, and smoothed out conciderably to a pleasant rich coco flavor with hints of exotic wood. Medium in body, and boys and girls i think i found my new everyday smoke, and at a single price of $4.99 (local) it makes it that much more attractive. After this post ill be surfing the web for a box, probably in the Bristol lenght though, as i always buy robostos as a trial. I just purchased the El Mejor Espresso sampler special from CI and im hoping those will be just as good after a few month stint in the humi.

Great review! I will have to check that out. I have been dying to know how those El 'spreso's are, and been kicking around picking up the sampler as well.
