Review of an unbanned Robusto sent to me from Frank--5 X50

Prelight

Look and appearance of the wrapper was not to bad had a couple of very small veins but not to bad.

Scent of unlit cigar wrapper and foot it smelled of freah grass and a mild woodsy taste to the tongue that I thought was going top be a Mild to Med smoke.

Flavors upon first draw woodsy and again the slight taste of grass

The ash semi-firm, light gray

Smoking Experience was a tough one--It was hard to keep lit had to touch up several times that took my smoking experience away from the cigar.

Draw when I could keep it lit was OK

Flavors got harsh about half way threw and might contribute this to the way the cigar was burning and my having to relight and touch up.

My overall rating was about a 65/100 I wondered if it was a little to early to smoke. The only good attributes of the smoke was the Draw and the Ash. I have a couple more that will rest for a while and hopefully will have a better review on those.

Thank you Frank for sending me the cigars to review for you.

Maybe I will have a better review next time.
