Picked-up a Robusto Extra: (5¼ - 52) tonight from one of my locals:
Wrapper: Habano Ecuador Rosado
Binder: Habano Nicaragua
Filler: Habano Nicaragua
Found it to be a delicious smoke. Offered a rich full-bodied sweet nuttiness that was hard to put down. Nubbed it directly from the shop without rest. Ugly band (reminiscent of the Augusto Reyes), but a nice even-burning smoke that lasted longer than expected. Developed nicely with complex sweet earthy spices throughout. Found it to be much more dimensional than the Tatuaje Hermosos (5 5/8" x 46) smoked afterwards which came across as flat, one-dimensional when compared.
A sublime smoke that IMHO was box-worthy after smoking. Will definitely pick-up a few more of these from my local.
