SIZE: Robusto 5x50
Price: $2.88 single price @ cigar.com
Accompanied by my favorite drink, a Guinness Draught (not extra stout) from the can, poured into a beer glass.
Overall Appearance & Presentation: 15/20 - slightly veiny & had a bit of a hard spot. Light sheen of oil.
Lighting & Burning Properties: 14/15 solid white ash but needing to be relit once.
Construction: 27/30 - Draw was a bit too firm for me the whole way through
Taste: 32/35 - Mild body with a hint of spice. Flavor was a bit mild but increased about halfway through. Not very complex but a nice smooth, mild cigar that I enjoy during the day or after a light dinner.
Total: 88
Value: 5 stars out of 5 and Best Buy
Comments: Could use a little more body but otherwise a great cigar. One of my favorites for under 3 bux. The CCOM Corojo label scored higher & is slightly cheaper, but I enjoy each under different circumstances. This one definitely is one to keep stocked in the humidor. Would have scored higher if not for the firm spot. Hopefully this was just an anomaly limited to just this cigar.
