Leon Jimenes Robusto Deluxe Review

[YYCgar]

A coworker of mine got back from the Dominican Republic this week and she brought me one of these in a tube. I was grateful for the gift and let it sit in my humidor until tonight. I think I should've left it there. It looks nice enough and I think the tube is really nice looking. Attached a picture of both below the review.

Pre-light draw was good and the flavor was extremely mild, almost not even there. I toasted it up and lit it without any problems but there really wasn't much flavor on the first few puffs. All through the first third it was very weak and if I had to describe it I'd say balsa wood or grass. I smoked half of it hoping the flavor would change or improve and was disappointed when it did not.

I'm still quite new to cigars and reviewing them but this is not a cigar I would buy or recommend. About a month ago I had a Macanudo petit corona that I enjoyed. Since then I see they aren't really looked upon favorably here but at the time I enjoyed it. This thing tonight I didn't enjoy. I let it go out after the first half.

Has anyone else heard of these or smoked one and had a different experience?

I think I would send her back and get something better!
