This cigar was made with a Habano wrapper, the binder is Nicaraguan, and the filler is Dominican and Nicaraguan. As a fun note, the cigar is American. Made in Miami at El Titan de Bronze cigar factory.
This cigar started out with almost a sweet cream flavor. This was accompanied by an almond/walnut tone, a hint of straw, and a subtle spice. After the first fourth things began to change. The cream was not as sweet, but not bitter either. The amount of cream increased, bringing with it subtle notes of toasted nuts and a little pepper. The last third of the smoke had the almonds and walnut come back, keeping with it the creamy flavors. The aftertaste of this smoke was of a sweet cream and butter. At times I could have sworn it tasted a little like peanut butter.
This cigar was very well made. The wrapper was tight and very even. Some veins here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary. The wrapper felt like a soft velvet or a suede. No soft spots, even after it warmed up. The draw is a little firm but produces a decent smoke and there is no lack in flavor. The burn was even and needed no correction and the ash was very nice.
I had the Intrepidus sized cigar (52 x 6) which lasted me a good 45 minutes to an hour. This smoke will run between $10-$12. Very nice prices for this smoke. This mild to medium smoke provided very complex flavors, and was very pleasant to smoke. Wonderfully made and great flavors. I suggest this cigar to anyone that sees it.
Final Grade: A+
NOTES: I found out on their website, when you register, you sign up for the chance to get a free box of Robusto cigars. They are only giving away one, so I already put in my e-mail for it. Best way to get info is through their Facebook page. Also, since my camera is broken they provided me with a picture of their cigar. Exactly like mine.
