El Mejor Emerald Robusto

[Kreth]

I was gifted this stick by Dunkel after mentioning in another thread that I wanted to try one.

Humidor time: 1 month in Dunkel's humi

Prelight: This cigar comes dressed in cedar, with a pigtail and shaggy foot. The corojo wrapper has a nice sheen, and is slightly veiny. Prelight draw is easy, tasting of cedar and oak.

Burn: The burn was a bit uneven before I hit the wrapper, but corrected on its own. Ash was flaky, but fairly solid. Draw was easy, and the burn time was just a bit over an hour.

Flavor: This cigar had a nice creamy, woodsy flavor with hints of ligero spice throughout. CI lists this cigar as "medium-full." I'd rate it closer to medium

Summary: I really enjoyed this stick. The shaggy foot added a little complexity to the flavor. I think I've found a new low-cost smoke to add to the rotation.

Nice review, Kreth. None in the humi at this time, but that's the way I remeber them too. Nice, cheap serviceable smoke. :tu

I didn't like the first one I tried, but I bought a fiver on cbid and I've enjoyed everyone I've smoked since.

I bought a fiver and have smoked through 3 or 4 of them. I enjoyed them and prolly will get around to buying some more. Thanks for the review.

They do need a little time to rest, but they come around. :tu

Thanks for the review. I'm a fan of the El Mejor Expresso but I've never gotten around to smoking one of these. I'll grab a fiver on cbid on of these days.
