Construction
The Buena Vista incognito short Robusto was incredibly evenly rolled with a matte feeling to it. The small, thick size felt cute but yet powerful at the same time.
Band impression
The feeling I got from the cigar band was nothing extra ordinary, it gave the cigar a feeling of beeing a everyday cigar, a cigar ment to be enjoyed during a lunch break, a evening stroll or as a cigar you light up just before bedtime.
Size of Buena Vista incognito
The vitola i chose to review was a short Robusto 4×54 (Lenght 102mm – ring gauge 21,5mm)
Blend
The Buena Vista incognito short Robusto had blend made of a Ecuadorian Wrapper, Mexican binder and Undisclosed filler.
Scent and cold draw
The first thing that crossed my mind was the scent of the wrapper, the wrapper had a soft sweet fruity scent with a hint of hay. The filler had a scent of hay and chocolate. The cold draw presented a lighter shade of maltiness.
Even though the cold draw wasn’t particularly unique the scent of the wrapper was extremely teasing and rare. It was the kind of scent that just makes you eager to light up the cigar.
Let’s light up the Buena Vista incognito short Robusto
The short vitola made it hard for the Buena Vista incognito to develop complexity in forms of third, but the lack of flavor shifting was lifted by the favors shown.
The texture was creamy and the flavors that emerged up top were hay, a creamy nuttiness, floral notes, dried herbs, wood and leather. In the background I found nuances of fruitiness, white pepper, honey-like sweetness, minerals, earth and saltiness. The retrohale slightly tickled my nose and brought with it shades of general pepperiness and wood.
After taste
After putting down the Buena Vista incognito I felt a shade of walenut lingering for a short while.
Smoke time
It took approximately 40 minutes to smoke the cigar.
Draw
The draw of the Buena Vista incognito was just as you would like it to be, neither too Thight or to lose.
Burn quality
The burn line was perfect, the cigar didn’t have to be corrected any time.
Body of Buena Vista incognito
The Buena Vista incognito had a medium body. The medium body made it good for new cigar smokers just developing their palette and more experienced Aficionados looking for a short but yet flavorful smoke.
Price of the cigar
The average price for the Buena Vista incognito is between 7-10 USD
Conclusion
The Buena Vista incognito is a cigar with medium body and balanced flavors. The medium body makes it suitable for new cigar smokers and experienced Aficionados. If I compare price vs taste vs quality I think the price for the Buena Vista incognito short Robusto is where it should be.
