Georges Reserve Robusto 5x50
Georges Reserve are in my opinion one of the best deals going. I had smoked a few singles in the past and finally just knew that I had to have a box. The Robusto is the only vitola I can vouch for but I will indeed do that.
They are considered to be mild to medium bodied but very rich in flavors. The Nicaraguan long fillers are dark, fully aged and very smooth. They are made by the Oliva Family in Esteli, Nicaragua, so if you know Olivas then you might guess they are good quality and well constructed. The binder is African Cameroon that blends well with the filler. The onion skin thin wrapper is Ecuadorian. Very nice but also fragil. Be sure to have the RH balanced or they will easily split.
I smoked one in the morning and one in the evening. I think a mild-medium cigar is good any time of day. They toast well and one can immediately detect the spice and cedar flavors that are present throughout. The draw is easy and the burn is impeccable. Nice white ash that holds firm. The finish has a hint of vanilla. Really just about all you can ask for.
It is an affordably-priced stick at around $3.60. A very good value.
On a scale of 1-10 I rate this cigar 9.2.
