La Luna African Fuerte Bantu Review

[tbateman]

Ok, time for the 3rd (for me) vitola of the La Luna African Fuerte line that I've tried, the Bantu. This robusto sized beauty came to me courtesy of fvfanmc (thanks Mike!). The construction on this one was excellent. It was nice and firm thoughout with no soft spots or lumps. The wrapper was just a tad rough but not unpleasingly so and had a slightly oily sheen to it. As with all the LLAF's I've had so far, the Cameroon leaf was a little fragile but intact. It did tear slightly when I cut the cap. I'm beginning to think it's my Xikar more than anything. Speaking of the cap, it was well applied and except for the slight tear, came off cleanly. The pre-light draw was a perfect (something I've found with all the LL products to date). I toasted the little buggers foot and got it going straight away. The first third had a chocolate/cocoa taste. The second third became more earthy with a little pepper taste to it. The last third became leathery with a more pronounced pepper taste. The burn was razor sharp and producing a light grey ash that was very firm. The draw stayed perfect throughout. The volume of smoke was good and heavy imparting a medium to medium-strong body. I don't think I'll ever change from being a maduro lover first and formost, but these LLAF's have opened my eyes toward the Cammies.
