Alec Bradley – Spirit of Cuba Robusto Corojo 5x50
http://ssl.webstream.net/mrbundles/p...IT%20OF%20CUBA
Wrapper: Corojo
Binder: NA
Filler: Short filler

1) Look: Chocolate brown wrapper, dry. Moderate veining.
2) Pre-lit Aroma: mild spicy tobacco
3) Feel: smooth and dry.
4) Finger Roll: soft and spongy due to short filler.
5) Draw: smooth and easy with lots of smoke. Also, due to the short filler loose tobacco occasionally remained on the tongue.
6) Lit Aroma: nothing special but not offensive
7) Strength: full and spicy rich
Taste: I am not very good at picking out flavors. This cigar imparted spicy overtones and deep tobacco undertones on the palate.
9) Ash: flakey and unconsolidated due to the short filler.
10) Burn: There is the occasional bad burn but very easy to correct with a touch of the torch.
11) Finish After-taste: nice rich full tobacco.

12) Bottom Line: This is a decent value cigar, coming in at about $1.05 a cigar. Over the last couple of weeks I have smoked about a dozen of these and all were RTS (ready to smoke). I have to say, I really liked these cigars. They are quite rich and full. The only complaints are due to the short filler nature of the cigar. Namely, soft and spongy to the touch, ash won’t hold, loose bits of tobacco in the mouth, etc. Other than that I had no complaints with any of these cigars. Definitely a nice find on the value end of the spectrum and I will be stocking up on these soon.
