Wow. My top 5 has changed after smoking this smooth, full-bodied wonderful cigar. The 5×50 Robusto is made with a Habano Sun Grown wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and Jalapa Valley Ligero filler. It was a full bodied cigar with hints of cedar, coffee, chocolate, and maybe even a touch of nut. The cigar was so complex I analyzed it the entire time I smoked it and was left only wishing it had been a churchhill so I had more time to enjoy and analyze. The burn was a bit uneven, but I started out smoking it at the beach on a really windy evening, so I will assume this was the main culprit. The draw was perfect and it left me wishing I had another one just like it in my box (though I do have the enourmouse Special V Figurado 6×60 in my box that I’m saving for poker night on my birthday). Overall, I rate the cigar at an impressive A+.

The Serie V Figurado is an amazing smoke and a pretty decent price. I actually plan on picking up a box of those when I get some extra spending money.

Yeah, that figurado really gives a good spicy punch up front, and is just a pretty stick. Almost too pretty to smoke. Almost!
I actually think the Double Robusto is the perfect size. I tried on the churchill, and it struck me as a little too much of a good thing! I have a Lancero I picked up at RTDA, and I’m really curious how that will smoke. When I finally do, I’ll have to make sure to write it up on my blog.

Brian. thanks for the comment. Yeah, the Figurado is nice looking. I enjoy looking at it every time I open my humidor. In fact, I’m thinking about getting another one to hang on to, so I don’t feel bad about smoking the one I have! What’s wrong with me?
