Flor de las Antillas robusto review
http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7hfgtk8g.jpg
This cigar feels light in hand, the veins are more prominent than the My Father CT, wrapper feels slightly sandy to touch. Wrapper smells of baking spice, light red pepper and tobacco. The foot gives a richness, black pepper and tobacco. Cold draw is sweet, with black pepper, tobacco and baking spice, maybe cinnamon?
First third: Immediate blast of cinnamon, confirming that note. Tastes are cinnamon, spice, and an undefined richness. Aromas are same, with red pepper making an appearance as well.
Second third: It has matured into a stronger cigar. Tastes are cinnamon, spice and a hint of bread. Aromas are cinnamon, a smoky and rich note thast feels Latakia-ish, and hickory.
Final third: Tastes and aromas are hitting that smoky, rich note. Bread and cinnamon see me through the final third.
Thoughts: I have had one of these before, and wasn't sold. Now I am. It was a very good medium plus smoke.
