Robusto "C" Reviews/Discussions

Aesthetics: 2.9
dark wrapper, scary dark, nicked where band was removed, prominent vein

Pre-light Construction: 3
hard to tell if the nick is going to be a problem but binder exposed after cut and chunk came off

Post-light Construction/How it smoked: 2.9
smokes well but trouble with the wrapper loosening up at band nick immediately that was compounded by cutting the head, exposed about a half inch square of binder at head. Unraveled wrapper completely by the last third

NOTES Flavor and strength – 1st 1/3:
flavor of black pepper but not the bite so much. Toasted bread
NOTES Flavor and strength – 2nd 1/3:
more of same plus a few draws of toasted marshmallow
NOTES Flavor and strength – Last 1/3:
same
Flavor and Strength: 2.5
not much variance throughout

Aftertaste/Finish: 2.7
bland, papery

Aroma: 2.7
sour but a nice smell left on the hand

General Comments:
didn't hit the mark and had to toss it at the last third as the wrapper came off completely, binder was swelling, getting unweildy.

Overall score for the cigar. 55.6666666666667 (tally from above) 2.5 (my overall impression)

Recommendation: not
