Smoked my second NC of 2017, the Davidoff Nicaragua Robusto. I was gifted this for Christmas with by a coworker, along with a couple other premium NCs.

Nice looking golden wrapper with an excellent draw that provided voluminous amounts of smoke. One or two minor touchups were all that were needed, as the burn was excellent as well.

I found the profile to be nutty, with a plesasant underlying sweetness that reminded me of black cherry. Not an overly complex cigar, but certainly a well balanced one. Better than the first NC I smoked this year, an Opus X.

At the price point, it's unlikely this will become part of my regular rotation, but when I hit a B&M for a smoke (and buy an NC or 2 as is always the "righjt thing to do"), it will be high on my list as one to seek out.
