Conuco Robusto 5x50
Another great tasting Robusto at the heavy end of the flavor spectrum.
There's just something about a slick, oily Habano wrapper that grabs my attention. This cigar was so well compacted that I just knew it would have a hard draw. Not so. It toasted perfectly and with the first puff I had a billowy cloud of creamy white smoke. I was in the process of positioning a soaker hose and of course had wet hands, was stooped over with spit drewling onto the cigar and even had it pop out of my mouth onto the lawn once. After all that abuse it still turned out to be a really good smoke.
The burn was even, the ash held until it hit the lawn and the flavors were consistantly sweet, earthy, medium-bodied and full-flavored. I would closely compare it with a Gran Habano Robusto only maybe a little smoother. These are again a value-priced cigar at around 4 bucks. I would spring for a box of these and never look back.
On a scale of 1-10 I rate this cigar 8.8.
