Default Re: Robusto "B" Reviews/Discussion

Aesthetics: 3.5
strangely uniform and flat light/medium brown color, decent looking cigar aside from that odd point

Pre-light Construction: 3.5
well rolled, decent cap, anticipate no smoking problems from the construction, took the clipping good and smell is a little medicinal

Post-light Construction/How it smoked: 3.5
draws nice, smokes effortlessly, burn is uneven but not even to cause any problems, 1/4-3/8"

NOTES Flavor and strength – 1st 1/3:
nice nose presence, not a crisp clean 'burn', more muted creamy 'burn'. Flavor has a little bit of medicinal to it that I don't care for but there's a yeast or fresh bread flavor that's entertaining if not tastey.
NOTES Flavor and strength – 2nd 1/3:
yeasty, bready, woody, still coming on strong in the nose
NOTES Flavor and strength – Last 1/3:
same throughout - medium/full - full in the nose throughout for certain
Flavor and Strength: 3.3

Aftertaste/Finish: 3
smooth finish, a little tannic like brewed iced tea

Aroma: 3
a little pharmaceutical

General Comments:
Not particularly exciting flavors but unoffensive and an easy smoke.

Overall score for the cigar. 66 (tally from above) 3.3 (my overall score)

Recommendation: possibly
