The Maddy robusto is one fantastic cigar. It started off with a bang of spice and espresso but quickly calmed down to a wonderful bitter chocolate/espresso flavor. It burned perfectly and had a smoke you could chew. The thing I like the most is that it takes the Maduro flavor right to the edge. It just kicks it up a little bit more than the usual. If I had to score this cigar I'd give it a 94. I don't know if it was because I went a week w/o a cigar and was sick, but if it was, Being sick won't be so bad next time.
