Date: 1/22/09

Cigar: Casa Magna Colorado Robusto (5.5 x 52)

Taste of the cigar: This cigar tastes like rich chocolate. It is sweet and woodsy as well. It is a pretty complex cigar.

Construction: Held a long ash. The draw was perfect. The cigar required no touchups.

Strength: This was a medium-full cigar.

Summary: This cigar was absolutely delicious. Cigar Aficionado named it their #1 cigar of 2008. I don't think it was the best of 2008, but it was very, very good. I will definitely buy more of these in the future. The only thing keeping it from getting a 10/10 was I wanted a little more spice. I give it a 9.4/10.

Nice review. The ones I've had (including a belicoso last night) were chocolate-y as well.

Since I'm such a nice guy, I just had to jack this thread and offer my :2 by saying I think this cigar tastes like dirt...with a slight hint of green tea....but prevalent on the dirt. I purchased mine at Magic City Cigars in Birmingham/Hoover, Alabama while sitting with Mike, the owner, and he too was quite surprised that I wasn't at all impressed with this smoke. Since I'm the leading authority of what makes a great cigar, I think you're all pretty stupid. (please note sarcasm here) :r :r :r
