Ibis Honduras robusto review

Construction

Some times you just get amazed. When i held The Ibis Honduras robusto in my hand was one of those moments. Price is not always associated with quality but many times it is reflected the construction of a cigar. The Ibis Honduras is one of the best cigars I have held in my hand when it comes to construction. The cigar was Sumeric in a way, you should think it was cast in a mold and not rolled by hand. Incredibly impressive I must say – especially considering the low price. It was incredibly firm and had neither soft parts, plugs nor veins.

The green band with a bird in the center of it, gave a impression of everyday cigar. I could imagine my self taking a walk in the forest or sitting on a bench near the sea, light the cigar and just let time pass by.
