Conuco robusto

07-02-2009, 04:56 PM

I got a complementary fiver with a purchase from Famous late last year. I smoked one then and thought it was OK but there was a lot of other cigars to smoke so I haven't smoked one since. I gifted three to the troops and saved one.
Now that it has some age on it it turns out to be a good smoke. Very good construction. A dark oily wrapper around a nice looking blend. Barnyard prelight smell. Toasty taste from the beginning that quickly got spicy. Not too spicy. Thick creamy smoke. Not a lot of change through the stick but it has a mouthwatering good taste to it that I wouldn't mind having again. It started to tar up a little near the end but I just cut it again and continued. Full flavor, mid strength. $80 for 20 at Famous.

Thanks for the review. Been hearing pretty positive things about these.

Had one of these last night....Great cigar. Perfect construction and draw. Burned razor sharp to the nub. Conuco starts off med with a little pepper and then mellows out into a nice leather, dark coco, creamy smoke. As it burns down the last 3rd picks up in flavor and strength. I will be buying more.

Cigar Asylum also got a mention in the Famous catalog under this brand. Check it out in their latest issue.

I've been curious about these, as I've seen them a few times on Cigar Monster recently. Might have to give them a try.

Let them rest a bit. The first one I smoked was unremarkable when ROTT.

I smoked one about 2 weeks off the truck and it was not impressive, however it was not bad either. I should pick up a couple and let them rest

These are pretty good RP sticks, I like to keep a 5-er b/c they do age pretty well...

Zanaspus · 11-05-2009, 11:00 AM

ROTT they are decent. With a little humi time, they're tasty indeed imo.
