DATE: 2006/05/07
REVIEWER: Timothy "Texan_To_The_End" Piper
CIGAR: "Old Fashioned" Robusto
SIZE: 4.5 X 50
ORIGIN: Dominican
WRAPPER: Ecudoran
BINDER: Honduran
FILLER: Dom, Nic, Mex
SHAPE: Robusto
AGE: Unknown
VENDOR: Gifted by Pegleg (Thanks again!)
AMBIENCE: Another warm pleasant evening in Houston, with just
slight humidity.
BEVERAGE: None
APPEARANCE: Dry used-to-be-oily wrapper which was very smooth.
Looked like the GPEDD except darker.
PRE_LIGHT: Nice smell but not much flavor or taste when taking
a few pre-light puffs.
DRAW: A bit tighter than usual draw which did loosen up
upon lighting.
FIRST_THIRD: Sort of an earthy-barnyard taste, which developed a
bit of sweetness eventually.
SECOND_THIRD: Turned a little bit milder and developed just a
touch of sweetness.
FINAL_THIRD: Finally got a little nic from this, and started to
turn just a bit peppery.
BURN: Pretty even and very slow burn.
ASH: Light colored very firm ash with no yellow center.
SMOKE: Good smoke volume but just the single taste and not
much complexity.
STRENGTH: Medium-Light with very little nic kick.
FLAVOUR: Taste was basically earthy, with just hints of more
enticing flavors. Didn't develop during the smoke.
FINISH: Not a lot of taste left once I set it down.
SMOKE_TIME: 45 minutes.
IMPRESSION: Depending on price, this would be a good yard working
cigar or to give to non-cigar smokers who wouldn't
appreciate one of your better sticks. Decent, but I
probably won't stock up on them .
RATING: 5 out of a possible TEN wooden matchsticks.
COMMENTS: I did nub this cigar, so even though a straight middle
of the road rating, it isn't the worst cigar I've had.
