La Rica Robusto Tubos Review

[akatora]

Ok gorillas, this is my very first review, so bear with me.

So, I was having the "munchies" (NO, I didn´t smoke any marijuana) tonight and was really hungry, so I went out to buy myself a kebab. (I´ve been on a fast for almost a week, and so my appetite have been sneaking upon me the couple of days. Today I couldn´t withstand myself so...


Anyway....so after I enjoyed my food, I put on some movie I downloaded and took a quick peek inside my humidor, and I decided to go with this one.



I remember getting this baby at the last herf I was attending to. The first thing that struck me was that the draw was exceptionally good. I had to took a couple of puffs in order to sense something, but after a while I could hint some a leathery and earthy taste. To be honest, I haven´t tasted that many cigars, but the mild peppary taste grew on me and it just keept getting better.

After 10 to 15min I found another taste to stand out. I´m not 100% sure but I think I feelt some sweetness in form of raisins. However...the last 5sec of the cigar were kinda bitter, but this might have been due to that it died down and I had to relight it.

So to sum up this cigar:

+ Mild and yet some really differential flavours.
+ I´ve never had such a long "ashpillar" on a cigar before, very nice!!! Some
say that you shouldn´t knock the ash off, cause it might affect the taste.
+ LOT`s OF SMOKE!!!
+ This cigar is fairly cheap, I guess. It´s $7 here in Sweden, so I would say
that it´s a mediumclass cigar.

- The only negative I can come up with is that the taste of the cigar at the
end wasn´t very pleasing.

Thanks for reading!!

Never heard of it either. I believe I can read on the tubo that it is from Nicaragua? Will have to google.

[akatora]

Yes, the cigar is from Nicaragua. I found this reportage on the net for those who are interested http://www.cigar-cult.at/englisch/bb403b.htm

Also...I heard that "Mr.Bundles" _had_ these in stock before. Anyways, the cigar was suprisingly good for the price.

Who cares, that kebab looked awesome! Lotsa chilies... yum!


The smoke sounds nice too!

[akatora]

Jerry, I´m sorry to say that I haven´t been to the toilet yet. I did however throw 85% of the chilies away, cause I´m more than aware of the "stingy-feeling" they cause

[kansashat]

Don't mind Jerry. He hasn't been potty trained.

Ron, to get one of those, go find your local greek/turkish community and ask for a Doner Kebab with all the trimmings.
