The local smoke shop was out of my regular smoke so I tried a Cuesta-Rey Centenario Robusto. Pretty, well made, drew well. But the first couple of puffs told me this was not a cigar for me.
Too much pepper. Not extreme but just enough to make it unpleasant. Good nicotine content though. I have had cigars with more pepper than this but overall I find the black pepper burn unpleasant. Give me a smooth Maduro wrapped stick any time. Anybody have suggestions for smooth sticks? I like Punch, El Rey Del Mundo, Arturo Fuente, Partagas...
