La Barba Ricochet (Robusto)

First La Barba for me.

Definitely an orange flavor - in the beginning it popped like Orange Fanta; then it became more melded with the spice, and rounding it out.

It seemed more of a woodsy and spice mixtured tasting cigar.

Full strength and body. Lots of nice smoke production.

Very wonky burn after the first 1/4. May have been the cold temperature.

Short review, because I don't have much of a taste for this profile. Will add more on my next go-round.

Judgement:

No judgement yet. I still don't have much appreciation, taste, or desire for the woodsy-spice cigars. Doesn't mean I dislike them, they're just not in my wheelhouse...yet. I bought a fiver of Cigarbid for around $13, which makes the $3ish price good. I'll give it some time before I revisit, and I'll be looking forward to trying to expand my tastes. Recommended to those who enjoy this profile type.Attachment 7906

How long have you had them?
Because as I'm sure that you found, the rH change makes a difference in the flavors (sometimes) & burn.

Probably 4 months at 62%. I don't believe it was the resting RH, but maybe the low humidity outside was a factor. As for the taste, the woodsy profiles have been outside my preference, but I'd like to get there with them.

For what it’s worth I use 65% Boveda packs in all my containers and humidors
