Default Re: Robusto "C" Reviews/Discussions

I wonder how these will smoke after a few days in the humidor, resting?

They were in a USPS vehicle from Tuesday 1/15 till they arrived at my place on Friday 1/18. I boxed them on Sunday, 1/20. I put them in my vehicle to mail on 1/21, and they stayed in the vehicle overnight till 1/22 in sub-zero conditions. They were then again in USPS vehicles till they arrived at your home on either 1/24 or 1/25.

These cigars have seen severe temperatures and drastic changes. Do they need some time to settle out? Would it make a difference in the taste?

I do not know, but I would like to think so.

Aesthetics: 2.9
nothing striking here, some ugly but I pay it no mind

Pre-light Construction: 3
seems evenly filled and firm enough to expect a trouble-free smoke

Post-light Construction/How it smoked: 2.9
draws well but runs down one side the whole length, touch ups see uneven burn return in short order

NOTES Flavor and strength – 1st 1/3:
papery
NOTES Flavor and strength – 2nd 1/3:
same
NOTES Flavor and strength – Last 1/3:
same
Flavor and Strength: 2.4
deader than a doornail throughout, the less said the better

Aftertaste/Finish: 2.4
ash

Aroma: 2.7
sour

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
54.3333333333333
(tally from above) 2.4 (my overall impression)

Recommendation: not

Overall

Me and this cigar simply don't get along! I actually smoked the third and it didn't go much better than the review above. This cigar leaves me all but speechless
