La Aurora Preferidos Robusto Review
Went up to my favorite local B&M today with a buddy as he was planning on buying a box. I really wasn't in the market for any smokes but as I was walking around I saw these and remembered that I had wanted to try one. So I dutifully laid out my 10 bucks and took the stick home with me. The construction on this stick was very nice the wrapper wasn't too oily and had a bit of a tooth to it. The smell on it was somewhat dusty with a dried grass scent. Punched the cap and lit her up. First couple of puffs were just blah, nothing special at all and this lasted most of the way through. It had a dull grey ash that was somewhat flaky but rather strong. The last 1/3 of this stick though was horrible, it had an ammonia-ish test that I have noticed in some sticks before. The smell and the taste reminded my of a bathroom that had just been cleaned.
Overall I was rather disappointed, the taste wasn't complex at all and just was a dusty grassy taste the whole way through. This is the second time recently that I have had a bad experience with an (expensive) Preferidos so in the future I think i will be giving them a pass.
