Construction
The cigar was firmly rolled and had a matte feeling to it.
Wrapper: Mexican – Binder: Mexican – Filler: Mexican and Nicaragua
Scent and cold draw
The wrapper had a smell of hay and coffee beans while the filling had a smell of hay. The cold draft gave me flavors of maltiness, hay and florality.
1/2 Lets light up the A.Turrent San Andres Robusto to see what it has to offer
The texture was slightly creamy and the dominant flavors I felt in the cigar were woodiness, cacao and coffee beans. In the background were flavors of florality, spice, nuttiness, lime-like acidity, espresso and sourdough bread. The retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of hay and white pepper.
2/2 Let’s see how the cigar finishes.
The texture of the cigar was creamy as before and the flavors I felt were dark chocolate, coffee beans, espresso, dark woodiness, nuttiness that leaned towards almond and dried herbs. In the background there were flavors of sourdough bread, floral, hay and spice. The re-inhale was as before smooth and gave nuances of hay and white pepper.
After taste
walenuts
Body
Medium bordering on full
Smoke time
70 minutes
Conclusion
A.Turrent San Andres robusto is a cigar with well-balanced flavors without much complexity. The flavors are earthy. The body, which is medium on the verge of full, makes it suitable for the slightly more experienced cigar smoker. If I compare price vs taste vs quality, I think it is a bit overpriced.
